DULLES, Va., Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) and IronNet Cybersecurity Inc. have announced
plans to develop cyber solutions for the defense of operational and
information technology (OT/IT) systems. These solutions would
integrate managed security services with advanced analysis and
threat sharing tools including IronNet's collective defense
platform, and its network traffic analysis software, to
potentially bring new solutions for enterprise protection.
The combined solutions are designed to be part of a collective
defense offering for critical infrastructure and national security
networks and systems. These solutions offer hardening of OT/IT
platforms to increase resiliency for systems that orchestrate
sensing, control, networking and analytics to interact with the
physical world, and enable safe, secure and adaptable
performance.
John DeSimone, vice president of
Cybersecurity and Special Missions at Raytheon Intelligence,
Information and Services, said: "Protecting critical infrastructure
is no longer a private sector concern, but a national security
imperative. We know malicious actors seek to disrupt global
economies through attacks on technology systems that keep our
lights on, food supplies safe and militaries prepared. This
partnership offers the integration of advanced cyber products and
operations experience to the global market."
GEN (Ret.) Keith Alexander,
co-CEO and founder of IronNet Cybersecurity, said, "Considering the
role Raytheon plays in securing government agencies, global
businesses, and even nations, we are excited to work together as we
shift the cybersecurity defense paradigm from one that sees
organizations defending alone to one that operates as a part
of a collective. We can all benefit from working together to
increase the visibility we have into incoming threats, sharing that
information, and defending more quickly."
