DULLES, Va., April 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon's
(NYSE: RTN) Dave Wajsgras, president
of Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services, received FCW's
Eagle Award, presented annually to two honorees: one from industry
and one from government. A panel of judges made up of government
and industry leaders selected Wajsgras from the federal IT
community and FCW Fed100 award recipients.
Wajsgras was recognized for his leadership of critical programs
that directly contribute to the safety and security of the U.S. and
its allies. Among those achievements is DOMino, a Department of
Homeland Security program that defends the .gov web
domain against cyber threats. DOMino protects the networks of
more than 100 federal agencies, state and local governments and 16
critical infrastructure sectors.
Another is the Air and Space Operations Center Weapon System, or
AOC WS. Raytheon is updating the existing AOC WS baseline software
and developing new software applications to improve air and space
command and control operations for the U.S. Air Force.
During his acceptance speech, Wajsgras said that while the
growing interconnectivity of the world offers many benefits, it
also opens up a new and contested threat domain. "We in this
room need to be the enablers of these benefits, but we also need to
be the foundational security," said Wajsgras.
FCW highlighted Wajsgras's ability to push the innovation
envelope, and the manner in which he has repositioned
Raytheon's IIS business as an industry leader in cyber, analytics
and automation.
Wajsgras was also noted for his leadership of STEM education and
his support of service members, veterans and military families.
Raytheon is the lead sponsor of the National Collegiate Cyber
Defense Competition that trains students on how to defend networks
against real-world cyber attacks.
