WASHINGTON, May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and
information technology company, is creating the nation's first
cyber integration center to provide government and commercial
customers with a unique managed hosting service in a trusted
environment.
The new Harris Cyber Integration Center will be located in a
140,000-square-foot facility in the mid-Atlantic region that Harris
recently acquired. The company expects the center to be fully
operational by the end of the calendar year.
"Ensuring optimized performance and ultra-high reliability will
make our customers more effective in accomplishing their missions.
This first-of-its-kind center leverages Harris' extensive
cyber capabilities to solve our customers' evolving cyber
challenges while at the same time adding value through tailored
applications and services," said Dale
Meyerrose, vice president and general manager, Harris Cyber
Integrated Solutions. "Cyber is in our DNA, and we have the
deep knowledge and experience in a number of vertical markets to
both manage and add value to mission-critical systems."
The Harris Cyber Integration Center will provide customers with
an integrated offering of infrastructure, managed security, and
tailored applications and services – all provided as a secure,
trusted total solution. The center will feature a trusted
technology infrastructure, including a tested and accredited
environment, supply chain integrity, and advanced persistent threat
deterrence. Additionally, by offering industry-tailored
applications and services on a tiered structure, customers will
benefit from both flexibility of service and superior value.
Harris has been using state-of-the-art technology assessment
techniques and architecture engineering for decades to define and
operate secure networks. Harris operates some of the nation's
largest secure, mission-critical networks, including the
ultra-reliable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI). Additionally, the
company's technology, countermeasures and monitoring capabilities
safeguard vital information systems that support the critical
missions of military, intelligence, and federal law enforcement
customers.
Earlier this week, Harris announced that it has entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire SignaCert, Inc., a leading provider
of IT compliance solutions that provide the foundation for software
supply chain assurance. SignaCert's solutions combine
powerful change detection capabilities with custom and commercial
software whitelists -- lists of software that are deemed safe and
approved for a customer's network. In 2009, Harris acquired
privately held Crucial Security, Inc., which offers an array of
mission-enabling engineering solutions that address both offensive
and defensive IT security challenges. The business provides
critical support to federal law enforcement and other U.S.
government agencies.
