Raytheon Company and Narus have formed a partnership in which Raytheon will embed NarusInsight to monitor Internet Protocol (IP) traffic and provide critical knowledge to help manage and protect sensitive government networks.
“With this partnership, Raytheon and Narus will provide the best possible solution to ensure our government’s sensitive networks remain protected, while also providing capabilities to identify attackers,” said Steve Hawkins, vice president of Raytheon Information Security Solutions. “This is the most comprehensive and robust dynamic defense solution available for government networks.”
Narus is the leader in real-time traffic intelligence for the protection and management of large IP networks. Raytheon selected NarusInsight after a comprehensive review of competing solutions. The company’s real-time traffic intelligence technology allows for total visibility into IP traffic, from the network layer through services. Used by the world’s service providers and governments, Narus has developed and patented state-of-the-art algorithms to detect network anomalies and zero-day attacks, and manage unwanted IP traffic. Additionally, Narus has the unique ability to precision target and fully reconstruct all types of IP traffic, including VoIP, e-mail, Web mail and instant messages.
“We are proud to be selected by Raytheon as part of Narus’ broader strategy to work with the best companies to meet government requirements around the world,” said Greg Oslan, Narus president and CEO. “As the foundation for the industry’s most advanced real-time cyber protection, intercept and traffic management solutions, NarusInsight is critical to help meet today’s national security challenges.”
Raytheon and Narus’ new solution for protecting and monitoring government networks aligns with renewed government efforts to adopt a more strategic approach to cybersecurity. Raytheon provides a full spectrum of robust cybersecurity capabilities, including vulnerability and security assessments, enterprise information assurance services, monitoring and traffic analysis, information services and information operations.
