Boeing plans to acquire Narus, a provider of real-time network traffic and analytics software for protection against cyber attacks and threats aimed at large internet protocol networks.
Boeing Network & Space Systems president Roger Krone said the acquisition would advance its strategy to develop integrated solutions for better network visibility, threat detection and cybersecurity.
Narus will operate within Boeing’s Network & Space Systems business as a wholly owned subsidiary and support its cyber activities.
Narus’s network-centric technology will also be applied to Boeing’s smart grid energy work, the secure networking of Boeing’s ground, air and space products, and the defence of the Boeing network.
