RESTON, Va., June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos (NYSE:
LDOS), a national security, health and engineering solutions
company, and RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), have
joined forces to deliver security solutions through managed

Leidos' Managed Security Service (MSS) program will leverage the

with its extensive RSA Archer® GRC expertise to
help provide comprehensive security offerings for Leidos and RSA

"RSA and Leidos understand the evolving cyber paradigm of
constant threats. These threats demand our comprehensive technology
and services to continuously monitor and quickly address attacks
before they can adversely impact the business," said Lisa Roger, vice president and division manager
for cybersecurity at Leidos.
The Leidos MSS offerings leverage the Leidos Security Operations
Center (SOC) and combine an array of critical security capabilities
that include threat intelligence, enterprise configuration and
vulnerability management and 24/7/365 managed network operations
security center services, among other capabilities. The Leidos SOC

sophisticated security threats, as a service for
customers.
