Raytheon, known for its work in the defence industry, put the best part of $2m into purchasing the cyber security provider Websense in April this year. The two have come together to create a new joint venture called Raytheon|Websense.
From the outside there seems to be a discrepancy between the work in the defence and governments sector that Raytheon built its name on, and the more commercial facing products offered by Websense.
However, Carl Leonard, princple security adviser, says that this is not the case, and that the deal works well in practical terms. He uses sandboxing as an example:”The suite of technologies that Raytheon have brought to the venture are branded as Sureview, so they have a sandbox, and that is an on premise sandbox.
“The Websense side of the party has a sandbox also, that’s more of a cloud based scenario, so now our customers can really take a look what sort of deployment actions they want.”
He also says that “already we’re seeing the benefit of the defence grade capabilities that the Raytheon products have along with the telemetry that they have for protecting against the most advanced threats.” For the full article click here
