Thales opens cybersecurity center in Asia
 (UPI) May 12, 2017 - Thales has opened a cybersecurity center in Asia to offer services to promote regional cybersecurity and help combat cyberattacks.

Thales' Cybersecurity Operation Center is located in Hong Kong and is the fifth such center worldwide.

It offers provides 24/7 cybersurveillance services -- cyberrisk prevention, threat anticipation, detection of security incidents, rapid reaction to attacks -- to banking and finance institutions, government agencies, operators of critical infrastructure operators and multinational companies.

"With this new Cyber Security Operations Center in Hong-Kong, Thales answers its demanding customers' growing need for best-in-class security supervision services in Asia region," said Richard Malett, Thales vice president in charge of Critical Information & Cybersecurity in Asia-Pacific. "It consolidates the group's leadership in security supervision and our ability to provide cybersecurity services to customers in Asia."

Thales said that in addition to cybersecurity supervision, the center can also perform complementary consulting services, such as risk assessment, security audit, and penetration testing.

BAE Systems has been tapped by the U.S. Department of Treasury to help protect the country's financial system against terrorist and other threats.

The work for the Treasury's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence will include finance intelligence analysis and mission support and work with commercial financial institutions internationally to build and refine defense-grade, anti-money laundering technologies.

"Our financial crimes experts work alongside the government to investigate and track down illicit finance suspects at home and overseas," said Mark Keeler, acting president of BAE Systems' Intelligence & Security sector. "We have a deep understanding of the revenue streams and financial tactics used by terrorist networks and criminal organizations, which pose threats to our national security and could compromise international financial stability."

BAE Systems said that under the deal with the Department of Treasury it will compete for task order contracts to assist TFI in researching, analyzing, and documenting complex financial, trade, and other business activities in support of federal investigations and prosecutions.

"The maximum lifecycle value of all task orders to be awarded under the contract is estimated at $135 million," BAE said. "This work plays a critical role in enforcing the violations and sanctions programs administered by the Department of Treasury."
