Lockheed Martin receives Enhanced Cybersecurity Services accreditation from DHS

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has accredited Bethesda, MD-based Lockheed Martin as a Commercial Service Provider (CSP) under DHS’ Enhanced Cybersecurity Services (ECS) program, the company announced August 10. The accreditation allows DHS to share sensitive and classified cybersecurity threat information with Lockheed Martin to support its efforts in defending public and private entities against cyber attacks. The Lockheed Martin ECS system will quarantine compromised e-mail and block malicious DNS requests based on DHS supplied cyber threat intelligence.

“ECS data forms an important pillar of the data we use to inform our Intelligence Driven Defense® methodology and operations,” said Rich Mahler, director, Lockheed Martin Commercial Markets. “We’ll integrate the Department of Homeland Security’s ECS data with our customer’s cybersecurity threat protection programs to give their networks an important cyber-defense edge.”

ECS information will be included within Lockheed Martin’s Enhanced Threat Protection solution, enhancing Lockheed Martin’s proprietary data streams gathered from years of protecting critical data against advanced persistent threats.
