CHANTILLY, Va., Oct. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider,
announced today that Perspecta Labs' SecureSmart™ critical
infrastructure monitoring solution has been designated a 2019 Cyber
CatalystSM solution. Perspecta Labs is the
innovative applied research arm for Perspecta.
In its inaugural year, the Cyber Catalyst by MarshSM
program is designed to help organizations make well informed
decisions about cybersecurity products and services to manage their
cyber risk. More than 150 cybersecurity products and services were
submitted and only 17 solutions received the designation this
year.
The SecureSmart critical infrastructure solution line is
a collection of industry-changing technologies that help defend
critical infrastructure and smart energy systems with comprehensive
integrated operations, engineering, security monitoring, anomaly
detection, protection, analysis and troubleshooting capabilities
for energy management systems (EMS), supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) systems, and advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI) and distribution automation (DA) field networks.
"We are incredibly honored to have SecureSmart included
among this elite selection of cyber solutions," said Petros
Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. "Through this
designation, we hope to build broader awareness of our robust
critical infrastructure solution line and bring our proven
cybersecurity awareness, monitoring and assessment capabilities to
customers across all markets and industries."
The rigorous, two-step evaluation process included a deep dive
into eligible products and services the insurers felt merited
review, as well as demonstrations to participating insurers. Each
solution was evaluated against six key criteria, including
reduction of cyber risk, key performance metrics, viability,
efficiency, flexibility and differentiation.
"In the highly complex cybersecurity marketplace, Cyber Catalyst
gives business leaders greater clarity and confidence in their
cybersecurity choices," said Tom
Reagan, US Cyber Practice Leader at Marsh, which created the
Cyber Catalyst program. "We're excited to showcase leading-edge
solutions like SecureSmart, which was identified by
participating insurers as able to have a meaningful impact on cyber
risk."
The eight leading cyber insurers Allianz; AXIS; AXA XL, a
division of AXA; Beazley; CFC; Munich Re; Sompo International; and
Zurich North America evaluated, deliberated and voted independently
to identify the products and services they consider effective in
reducing cyber risk. Additionally, Microsoft served as a technical
advisor.
