On August 24, Leidos announced that it will help the Department of War detect and defend against cyber threats by monitoring military networks 24 hours a day, seven days a week under a five-year contract.
Work under the $301 million contract with the U.S. Army strengthens the Department of War Information Network, the global network used by all U.S. military organizations.
“Resilience is the real measure of cyber defense,” said Steve Hull, president of Leidos Digital. “Our job is to help protect our nation’s cyber terrain by anticipating increasingly sophisticated threats, responding with speed and keeping critical missions moving. That means equipping our experts with AI-enabled capabilities for stronger cyber resilience, better situational awareness and faster, more coordinated responses that help mission leaders stay ahead of adversaries.”
This follow-on contract continues Leidos’ work supporting this Army mission to deliver defensive cyber capabilities for the U.S. and its allies. Throughout the program, Leidos has combined operational excellence with continuous innovation, enhancing cyber defense with advanced AI-enabled technologies. By integrating cyber operations, engineering and technology development, Leidos has compressed the time between detection and response.
