Julian Zottl, Chief Technology Officer - Cyber Protection Solutions at Raytheon Intelligence and Space discusses biggest security threats including the “Great Resignation” with Don Witt of the Channel Daily News, a TR publication. During the pandemic,  security professionals started living new lifestyles creating remote access security issues. After the Pandemic, security professionals did not want to change their new remote access lifestyle and wanted more money, so many quit. The security technology source pool had to be expanded to address the security staffing shortage still in existence. Julian Zottl Current Cyber security threats tend to come from nation states, hackers for hire, and for-profit organizations. People can make huge amounts of money based on hacking and ransomware. Listen in to find out how to mitigate the threats and meet the security  personnel shortage challenges.

Dylan Owen, CISSP-ISSEP-ISSMP GNFA GCFA - Associate Director Raytheon Cyber Services speaks to Don Witt of the Channel Daily News, a TR publication about the current state of corporate security. The pandemic basically expanded the limit of the corporate perimeter, normally protected by the firewall, so much that some think it is the end of the perimeter.  Others look at it as expanding the perimeter to areas not previously conceived.  Yet, others look at micro-perimeters around locations, equipment, or other related components. Dylan Owen Dylan explains that due to the perimeter redefinition and flexibility, a Zero Trust solution needs to be embraced by corporate entities. Knowing where to start is key, even though some Zero Trust components may already be in place. Take a step back and identify Individual/Department/application needs. Company policies will evolve from the detailed assessment. Dylan and his team can help with the assessment and the implementation. Listen in, Raytheon can help with your security needs.

Episode 83 – Defeating Adversary Strikes: Next Gen Missile Warning and Tracking Episode Summary: In Episode 83 of the Aerospace Advantage podcast, Defeating Adversary Strikes: Next Gen Missile Warning and Tracking, John Baum chats with Mitchell Institute's Chris Stone;  Lt Col Brandon "Coach" Davenport, former commander of the 2nd Space Warning squadron; and Dr. Davin Swanson, Chief Engineer with Raytheon Intelligence and Space about the threat posed by modern adversary missiles and key steps we need to pursue to defeat them. For decades, adversary nations have observed the advantages U.S. military forces have enjoyed thanks to robust long-range strike capabilities. Destroy the right combination of targets and an opposing military force has a hard time staying in the fight. That's why our opponents have doubled down on developing their own long-range strike options through a range of missile technologies. They want to hold U.S. homeland targets and our forward operating bases at risk. Defeating a long-range strike threat starts with identification and tracking. This demands a new architecture and related set of capabilities. Credits: Host: Lt Col (Ret.) John “Slick” Baum, Senior Fellow, The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies Producer: Daniel C.

The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to our rollout for our newest policy paper: Orbital Vigilance: The Need for Enhanced Space-Based Missile Warning and Tracking by Christopher Stone, Senior Fellow for Space Studies, The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. For decades, U.S. space-based missile warning and ground based radars have provided our nation's leaders with early warning of missile threats at home and abroad. Now that our adversaries have begun to field and use hypersonic and maneuvering missile systems, it is crucial to ensure we can detect an track these threats. This demands new solutions. Gen Kevin P. Chilton, USAF (Ret.), Explorer Chair of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies and former STRATCOM commander; Colonel Miguel A. Cruz, Commander of Delta 4, the Missile Warning command of the U.S. Space Force; Dr. Davin Swanson, Chief Engineer in Space and C2 Systems, Raytheon Intelligence and Space; and Christopher Stone will discuss why DOD must adopt a new force design that multiple satellites across different orbital regimes to maintain a continuous chain of custody of these new threats, and cue missile defenses.   Links: Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://bit.ly/3GbA5Of Website: https://mitchellaerospacepower.org/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MitchellStudies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mitchell.Ins...

There was a time when the US government was doing the majority of the innovation, but that is not the case any longer. As security leaders face the challenge of cybersecurity and risk, it became necessary to leverage the innovations that are being created in the startup community every day. Contractors like Raytheon Intelligence and Space (RIS) strive to bridge this gap by looking for potential technologies and using them in applications that help protect national security. To give us a sense of what that role entails and what kind of impact it is making, Gamiel Gran chats with Teresa Shea, Vice President of Cyber Offense and Defense Experts (CODEX) for Raytheon. Learn how she makes a difference every day through this unique and challenging leadership role.Love the show?

Using semi-supervised learning, I propose an anomaly-based network intrusion detection system (NIDS) to detect and classify anomalous and/or malicious traffic. With this proposed machine learning approach, we detect botnet traffic and distinguish it from the normal and background traffic in the IPv4 flow datasets. I evaluate the prediction performance results for the flow-based NIDS algorithms. I show an improvement in detection accuracy and reduction in error rates, when compared with signature-based NIDS and previous studies.
