BAE Systems and Bayshore Networks, Inc., have expanded an existing strategic partnership to include cyber security solutions to defense, intelligence and critical infrastructure customers facing increasingly sophisticated adversaries and advanced persistent threats (APT).

The agreement calls for Britain’s BAE to resell and distribute a number of Bayshore’s products that provide firewalls for large enterprise and government defense networks, critical infrastructure environments, and products for real-time threat analytics and situational awareness. The agreement also allows customers to use BAE’s around-the-clock technical support infrastructure and to leverage its intellectual property to reduce the risk of introducing APT malware into their networks.

“BAE Systems and Bayshore Networks provide high performance defense and assurance against advanced malware threats for the most sophisticated government and critical infrastructure organizations worldwide,” William Mabon, director of Cybersecurity Products Portfolio at BAE, said in a statement. “This expanded partnership will help us further understand, support and protect the interests of those customers.”
