Information & Communications Technologies

The global technology sector is highly competitive and is often characterised by low profit margins and short product lifecycles. New products and technical innovations are an attractive target for criminals.

Your technical designs and product research could be stolen and used to develop similar products at a fraction of the cost. And innovative business and marketing plans that differentiate new products from those of competitors, are also valuable.

However, cyber criminals are increasingly sophisticated, highly organised and constantly inventing ways to bypass traditional defences such as firewalls. As a result, a new approach is needed.

BAE Systems Detica has worked with a number of Australia's leading technology services companies; including both technology outsourcing, software development, and systems integration organisations.

These services have included:

  • Providing support in the definition of information and IT security governance systems for technology services companies and their clients;
  • Providing an independent 'assurance' capability to software development and system design projects, prior to release to the technology services company's ultimate client;
  • Providing specialist information and IT security technical services to complement the implementation skills of the systems integration organisations with which we work;
  • Providing consulting and formal evaluation of technology products to standards including FIPS-140 and the Common Criteria; and
  • Providing information security research and intelligence services, including supporting the sales process; by assisting organisations understand the Australian information and IT security environment and contemporary and 'hot' issues (public and private and sectors).

Because of our positioning and experience in industries such as Banking & Finance, Government and Telecommunications, we are ideally positioned to support technology services companies who wish to service clients in these and other industries.
