DULLES, Va., Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) is collaborating with Red Hat to develop a
new, security-focused software development solution, known as
DevSecOps, for enterprise environments. The approach combines
Raytheon's integrated suite of DevOps software development tools
with Red Hat OpenShift for enhanced protection of the software
application development process. The cross-domain security solution
takes a 'code low, deploy high' approach, developing at an
unclassified level and rapidly deploying into a classified
environment.
John DeSimone, vice president of
Cybersecurity and Special Missions at Raytheon Intelligence,
Information and Services, said: "The need for rapid delivery of
secure capability is paramount to our national security. We worked
with Red Hat to develop an innovative new offering that combines
our efficient approach to DevSecOps with a focus on security,
enhanced by Red Hat's container platform."
The Raytheon DevSecOps solution offers security automation and
the option of integrating solutions and customizing resources based
on mission requirements, contributing to reduction in cost and
timeline.
"Our work with Raytheon further exemplifies Red Hat's
collaborative approach to accelerating innovation and delivery of
mission with our system integrator partners," said Paul Smith, senior vice president and general
manager, Public Sector, Red Hat. "Red Hat OpenShift's enhanced
security capabilities can enable Raytheon to deliver a
faster, more efficient DevSecOps approach with security at its
core."
Red Hat OpenShift is a security-focused enterprise container
platform with full-stack automated operations to manage hybrid
cloud and multicloud deployments. Red Hat OpenShift is built on the
backbone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the first operating system to
achieve Common Criteria certification with Linux Container
Framework Support.
This collaboration is the latest example of the
companies' long-standing relationship. For more than 10 years,
Red Hat and Raytheon have worked together to deliver solutions to
both the private and public sectors across multiple domains. For
example, Raytheon used Red Hat's open source solutions to develop
an open system that collects and fuses data from a huge array of
satellites, ground sensors and other sources to provide a
comprehensive picture. By using Red Hat's tools, Raytheon was able
to deliver a system that completely opens up satellite networks and
allows for faster insight coming from multiple sources more quickly
than ever before.
