Leidos wins Navy cybersecurity and cryptographic key management contract
Leidos is providing Key Management Architecture & Engineering and Cyber Security Engineering Support Services to the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community and civilian agencies.
Scaling Cyber Warfare: Insights on the Future of Defense and Offense
Tim Krippendorf, Business Development Lead for Cyber and Computer Network Operations provides a detailed perspective on the future of cyber warfare, emphasizing the need for operations to be "big, fast, and everywhere." He outlines three critical areas for success in this FedGov Today episode.
Converged Cyber AI: A Paradigm Shift in Cybersecurity
The advancement of generative AI capabilities presents enormous potential for modernizing government operations but it also introduces new security gaps. While automation allows developers to move from concept to minimum viable product faster than ever, adversaries are developing similar AI-enabled techniques to discover and exploit security vulnerabilities.

AI has upended cybersecurity. Only AI can fight back.
Artificial intelligence tools are completely changing how adversaries plan and perpetrate cyber attacks, and U.S. companies and government agencies are prime targets for these new assaults. AI-powered cyber threats is the top concern for senior risk executives and managers, according to a survey by Gartner, a top research and consulting firm. To defend against these emerging threats, we must turn to AI-enabled cyber defenses. Meghan Good, senior vice president of technology integration, explains.

Gain valuable insights into the transformative impact of these technologies on securing the future of digital operations.
Cyber Talent
Leidos confronts the Cyber talent shortage by focusing on professional development and emphasizing skills over degrees in hiring.
Cyber for the Warfighter
Leidos employs a nation-wide Full-Spectrum Cyber Workforce, on guard 24x7.
Quantum Technologies
Quantum technologies offer critical advantages to inaccessible classical technologies. Collaboration with Leidos’ recognized leaders in cybersecurity, digital modernization, intelligence, defense, AI/ML, and software drives multi-disciplinary innovation with emerging quantum technologies to build practical solutions for our customer’s challenges.
Zero Trust Architectures
Zero Trust is a concept that challenges traditional cybersecurity thinking. It assumes that networks are either actively under attack or already breached.
Security Operations Centers (SOC to SIC)
PACKIT™ (Proven, Analytic-Centric Kill Chain Implementation and Transformation) is our threat-based approach to conducting and improving cyber defense. PACKIT leverages people, process and technology to operationalize and implement an analytical framework (i.e., kill-chains) to improve an organization’s cybersecurity posture.
Cyber Resiliency
As a company, we design, build, and deploy valuable assets – IT, data systems, networks, or platforms – for our customers. Using our cyber expertise, we continually enhance our techniques and processes to build systems that operate resiliently in the face of evolving cyber threats. We put hardware and software to the test – through penetration testing, reverse engineering, adversarial simulations and assessments – to identify gaps in security and develop the best solutions for our customers’ systems.
Risk Management Framework
Security, at its core, is a risk analysis and management activity. This starts with a successful system authorization to operate (ATO) and proper alignment to the risk management framework (RMF). In addition to expertise, Leidos' Risk and Privacy Management Acceleration Playbook (RAPMAP) is a repeatable playbook to implementing the RMF, where best practice tools, templates, and techniques are provided to our customers.
Cyber Innovation
Leidos’ Cyber Accelerator nearly two dozen patents, with steady investment in novel technologies and approaches in the areas of Cyber AI, Quantum, and more.
Cyber Analytics
Our Foundational Automation Support Technology (FAST) framework is an innovative approach to automatically discover and track all IP-addressable network devices — reducing manual, labor-intensive processes like asset inventory. This approach facilitates a configuration management database (CMDB) and incorporates AI and machine learning to understand event relationships better and perform predictive analytics between events.
Cybersecurity
Keeping pace with the Federal Information Security Modernization act is vital for every company. To help, Leidos developed IonIA™, a product that helps you determine what is reportable under FISMA. IonIA ensures you're adhering to FISMA by defining, maintaining, and repetitively monitoring your systems through every security layer.
Insider Threat
Our risk-based services integrate both technical and non-technical system elements for a truly holistic defense against insider threats. Using anomaly detection and analytics, we identify unusual activity based on peers, time of day, and previous activity and correlate this activity with external risk factors to produce a weighted risk score and prioritize internal investigations. Our proven solutions can complement existing technical tools or be deployed independently.
Accredited Testing & Evaluation
The Leidos Accredited Testing and Evaluation (AT&E) Lab is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) NVLAP Program (Lab code 200427-0). As the industry volume leader, our AT&E Lab has certified more than 1000 IT security products across 100+ commercial product vendors since 2000, including Microsoft, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell, Cisco, and Symantec.
