DHS accredits Lockheed Martin as CSP
Lockheed Martin has been accredited as a Commercial Service Provider (CSP) under the US Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Enhanced Cybersecurity Services (ECS) programme, the company announced on 10 August.
With this accreditation, the DHS can now share sensitive and classified cybersecurity threat information with the company to support its efforts in defending private and public entities against cyber-attack. Based on cyber threat intelligence supplied by the DHS, Lockheed Martin’s ECS system will block malicious Domain Name System requests and quarantine compromised e-mail.
ECS information will be included in the Enhanced Threat Protection solution by Lockheed Martin, enhancing the company's proprietary data streams.
Rich Mahler, director, Lockheed Martin Commercial Markets, said: ‘ECS data forms an important pillar of the data we use to inform our Intelligence Driven Defence methodology and operations.
‘We’ll integrate the DHS’s ECS data with our customer’s cybersecurity threat protection programmes to give their networks an important cyber-defence edge.’
