Release Details

What:

Despite a tight budget environment, investments in cyber are critical to retaining our technical edge - but how do we straddle both? Media are invited to hear from Northrop Grumman cyber experts about a new center of excellence for creating cyber solutions that harnesses the world-class expertise, partnerships, research investments and capabilities from across the company, to speed innovative and affordable solutions to the most complex cyber issues.

The company will also provide a first-of-its-kind Cyber Academy training class for the media, to give reporters an inside look into the challenges faced by the cyber warfighter, why speed is vital to keeping cyber systems resilient, and how Northrop Grumman's ACTC solutions are addressing these issues today and tomorrow.
