BAE Systems Inc., one of the largest aerospace and defence contractors in the world, is expanding its operation in Canada with a new cloud-based cyber security division.
Besides manufacturing fighter bombers and nuclear submarines, the London-based company also has an international IT security practice. This service is provided mostly to commercial organizations who want an alternative to the need for on-premises software and hardware. BAE already protects more than 5,500 organizations worldwide
The new offerings come largely as a result of BAE Systems’ acquisition of SilverSky. Last year BAE acquired the Milford, Conn.-based security vendor with a Security-as-a-Service platform offering for $232.5 million. BAE plans on introducing a suite of security products designed to defend against targeted attacks. BAE intends to provide the Email Protection Services (EPS) suite specifically for Zero Day attacks.
BAE does have a presence in Canada for more than 250 Government agencies and businesses.
Other offerings from BAE Canada are:
- Zero Day Prevention
- Insider Threat Prevention
- Email Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
- Email Encryption
- Email Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam
- Email Archiving
- Email Business Continuity

“By introducing Canadian companies to military-grade, cloud-based protection in a way that is easy to buy, consume and manage, we aim to help protect those companies against today’s most sophisticated threats. Not only can cloud-based services be delivered within short timescales – dealing with threats almost immediately – companies will also have the ability to scale their security up or down, as required, making them more agile in their response.”
