Partner (MSSP) with IronNet, the leading provider of network
detection and response (NDR) and collective defense. Jacobs and
IronNet will work together to develop an end-to-end solution
designed to detect and prevent damaging and difficult-to-detect
cyberattacks that continue to plague organizations across public
and private sectors.
"Our partnership with IronNet Cybersecurity Inc. forms a unique
offering to navigate the complexities of the cyberthreat
landscape," said Critical Mission Solutions Senior Vice President
of Cyber & Intelligence Caesar
Nieves. "Leveraging IronNet's advanced collective
defense capabilities with ours will help us stay one step ahead of
the growing threat of cyberattacks as we anticipate and meet the
national security challenges of the future."
IronNet merges industry-leading cybersecurity products with
unrivaled customer service to deliver advanced real-time defense

signature-based detection, IronNet delivers visibility to see
unknown threats across the entire enterprise.
"The Jacobs-IronNet partnership represents a powerful
combination that will help more organizations detect and prevent

challenge that has become even more critical following the recent
SolarWinds/SUNBURST supply chain attack," said IronNet founder and
co-CEO General (Ret.) Keith
Alexander. "These types of attacks are extremely stealthy,
and difficult to detect — and a Collective Defense strategy
provides an effective way to share and receive advanced, real-time
information about these behaviors so organizations can take action
more quickly."
