Raytheon signs reseller agreement

LINTHICUM, Md., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. company Raytheon and Xceedium Inc. have signed an agreement to combine their technologies in a move to counter insider infrastructure threats.

Raytheon announced it will resell Xceedium's GateKeeper appliance with its own trademarked SureView insider threat solution as part of an effort to offer government and private sector markets a joint critical infrastructure protection solution.

Xceedium's GateKeeper provides access controls and audits users for infrastructure access. Raytheon will compliment the Gatekeeper technology with its SureView insider threat protection solution designed to "identify and investigates user activity that violates policy," a news release said.

"Insider and external threats to critical infrastructures are increasing and pose some of the most serious economic and security challenges that we face," Steve Hawkins, Raytheon vice president of Information Security Solutions, said in a statement.

"Xceedium's GateKeeper extends the same degree of visibility and control that Raytheon SureView provides on the endpoint across the entire network. We can now offer customers uninterrupted and seamless control, monitoring and audit of user activity anywhere on the endpoint or network."
