RESTON, Va., April 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) will demonstrate integrated cyber technologies that help protect the nation's cyber domain at the U.S. STRATCOM 2009 Cyberspace Symposium sponsored by the Armed Forces Communications Electronics Association (AFCEA) International.
The theme for this year's symposium, which is being held today and tomorrow at the Qwest Center, Omaha, Neb., is "Advancing cyberspace capabilities to deliver integrated effects." Northrop Grumman will exhibit at booth number 211.
"Protecting our nation from the ever growing threat of cyber attacks is paramount," said Robert Hinson, Northrop Grumman corporate lead executive for the Nebraska Region. "Northrop Grumman is on the forefront of this challenge, partnering with government, commercial entities, and academia to provide innovative solutions that effectively defend our networks and offer protection across the entire cyber domain."
A key focus at the Northrop Grumman booth will be a demonstration of its Integrated Cyber Command Center (IC3).
