Raytheon Oakley Systems has an exclusive licensing agreement with SafeNet, Inc., to market RShield™, Raytheon's advanced email malware detection product. This new agreement accelerates the release of this cybersecurity solution to organizations responsible for protecting extremely sensitive data.

Traditional malware detection solutions such as antivirus, spam gateways, and firewalls have failed to address sophisticated, socially engineered, polymorphic, zero-day and targeted attacks. RShield was designed for large enterprise deployments, with scalability, to address these types of targeted attacks.

RShield has detected and stopped thousands of attacks including numerous zero-day attacks -- attacks that would have evaded firewalls, desktop anti-virus and other conventional security solutions.

“In just the past few months, the industry has seen a significant evolution in the threat landscape," said Steve Hawkins, vice president of Raytheon's Intelligence and Information Systems' Information Security Solutions business. "Organizations with the most sensitive data are being strategically targeted. We chose SafeNet to help market RShield because of the company's long track record of protecting data for the most security-conscious entities.”
