    Raytheon collaborates with IronNet on cyber defense for critical infrastructure

    Dulles, Va., February 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." About IronNet IronNet Cybersecurity is revolutionizing how enterprises, industries, and governments secure their networks. As sophisticated cyber anomalies are detected through IronNet's network traffic analysis platform, alerts are generated and shared quickly, safely and anonymously across collective defense members. These events are then correlated across industry peers in real time, giving members faster visibility into potential threat campaigns.

    Pose de la première pierre du nouveau laboratoire ExceLab de Safran Landing Systems

    Situé à Vélizy, ce nouveau laboratoire surface d'environ 2 000 m2 regroupera l'ensemble des capacités d'essais de Safran Landing Systems pour ses futurs matériels, du prototype de R&T jusqu'au produit fini dans un éventail de conditions opérationnelles très larges. C'est le 26 septembre 2019 que Ross McInnes, Président du Conseil d'administration de Safran et Jean-Paul Alary, Président de Safran Landing Systems ont, avec Valérie Pécresse, Présidente de la Région Ile de France, posé la première pierre du laboratoire d'essais « ExceLAB » (littéralement laboratoire d'excellence) dédié aux systèmes d'atterrissage et de freinage de demain, notamment électriques. D'une surface d'environ 2 000 m2 , ce nouveau laboratoire regroupera l'ensemble des capacités d'essais de Safran Landing Systems pour ses futurs matériels, du prototype de R&T jusqu'au produit fini dans un éventail de conditions opérationnelles très larges. Il s'inscrit notamment dans la stratégie du Groupe d'électrification progressive des fonctions de l'aéronef, et bénéficiera d'une organisation optimisée pour les essais hydrauliques et électriques. « Ce nouveau laboratoire, outil essentiel de compétitivité et d'innovation pour Safran Landing Systems, permettra d'aller bien au-delà de notre capacité d'essais actuelle. Il accélérera le développement et la mise sur le marché de nos futures solutions notamment plus électriques, » a déclaré Jean-Paul Alary. Ce nouveau laboratoire qui disposera de moyens techniques fortement digitalisés (réalité augmentée, 3D, objets connectés, cobotique, etc.) représente un investissement global de près de 4 millions d'euros qui bénéficie du soutien de la région Ile de France, et devrait être opérationnel d'ici octobre 2020. Plus de 60 nouveaux collaborateurs rejoindront « ExceLAB » et une vingtaine de fournisseurs de la région seront impliqués dans ce projet. https://air-cosmos.com/article/pose-de-la-premire-pierre-du-nouveau-laboratoire-excelab-de-safran-landing-systems-21766
