Detica name change

by Mark Rowe

The IT security firm BAE Systems Detica, an arm of the defence firm BAE, on February 1 will change its name to become BAE Systems Applied Intelligence. The firm, which acquired Detica, says the change reflects the company’s closer alignment with parent company BAE Systems and also its ambitions for further global market growth across in cyber security and financial crime prevention and detection.

The firm speaks of seeking to provide protection in the physical and virtual worlds, where the convergence of real world and online threats is putting nation states’ Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) at, the firm says, ever greater risk from increasingly sophisticated attacks.

The company points also to the growing synergy and convergence between cyber crime and financial crime – as demonstrated in the recent high-profile cyber-enabled fraud against US retailers such as Target.

Martin Sutherland, Managing Director, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, said: “The combined strength and global reach of the BAE Systems brand and our Applied Intelligence capabilities will differentiate us and position us as a world leader in universally protecting the converged physical and virtual worlds. And as fraud becomes increasingly cyber-enabled, we believe no other organisation offers our unique cyber security and financial crime heritage in dealing with the threats and opportunities presented by the intelligence age.

“The increasing ownership of Critical National Infrastructure by private business and fast-evolving technology now means that the front line is as much in enterprise as it is on physical borders. The ability to combine experience with cutting edge technology skills has never been more important and by helping protect nations, both physically and virtually, BAE Systems can help increase national prosperity and national security in new ways.”
