Raytheon has been selected as the cybersecurity advisor to the Royal Hashemite Court of the Kingdom of Jordan, the U.S. company announced this week at the Farnborough Airshow. Through its Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) division, Raytheon (Chalet C9, Outside Exhibit 9) will protect the Kingdom’s critical infrastructure systems, conducting vulnerability assessments and providing cyber test range services, as well as cyber governance and policy strategy. Additionally, the company will conduct a holistic vulnerability assessment on the Royal aviation fleet to ensure all integrated systems are hardened and resilient to cyberattacks. 

“The cyber threat is increasing globally,” said Dave Wajsgras, president of the company’s ISS branch. “We’ve been protecting large-scale systems for decades and know how to help nations protect themselves from those who want to exploit our interconnect world.”
