BETHESDA, Md., June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Defense
Security Service (DSS) recognized four Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT)
facilities with 2015 James S. Cogswell Outstanding Industrial
Security Achievement Awards. The awards, which recognize industrial
security excellence, are among the most prestigious honors that can
be bestowed on industry contractors with security clearances.
Out of the more than 13,000 cleared facilities nationwide, only
41 facilities received a Cogswell Award this year. Facilities may
be nominated for the award only if they have a minimum of two
consecutive superior industrial security review ratings and show a
sustained degree of excellence and innovation in their overall
security program management, implementation and oversight. The
Lockheed Martin facilities that received the 2015 Cogswell Award
were:
- Missiles and Fire Control – Orlando, Florida
- Mission Systems and Training – Orlando, Florida
- Mission Systems and Training – Marion, Massachusetts
- Information Systems & Global Solutions – Littleton, Colorado (Deer Creek facility)
"With less than one percent of cleared facilities receiving this
recognition, these awards are a tremendous honor for Lockheed
Martin's security professionals, who work tirelessly to protect our
people, facilities, intellectual property and classified
information systems," said Lockheed Martin Chief Security Officer
Robert Trono. "Our relentless
commitment to continuously improving our security procedures plays
a critical role in our ability to support our military,
intelligence community and other government customers."
The awards were presented on June
24 at the 51st annual National Classification Management
Society seminar in Las Vegas.
