Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) is in the process of building a new analytics system that “readily scales to trillions of entities in a highly extendable, distributable framework to meet the world’s rapidly changing security needs.”
“With nearly a third of all humans on the Internet, the civil, commercial and military worlds are swimming in data – in fact, too much data, ” said Steve Hawkins, vice president of Raytheon’s Information Security Solutions business. “It is imperative for today’s defense establishment to ensure both scalability and interoperability when deriving actionable intelligence from the increasingly staggering volumes of intelligence data coming in to the various branches of government.”
According to Hawkins, a crucial aspect of defeating adversaries is with the tool of analytics.
“Analytics is the key to outmaneuvering our adversaries in the face of the staggering volume, variety and velocity of information in cyberspace, ” said Hawkins. “Raytheon understands that collaboration is critical to success in cryptoanalysis and cyberspace for both offense and defense.”
