KEYS Increasing Cybersecurity Capabilities Via Strategic Alliances
Along with its financial success, Keysight has made a stronger commitment to improving cybersecurity across the country. The corporation has extended its cooperation with the US government by becoming a member of the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC).
JCDC was founded in August 2021 by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) with the goal of bringing the international cyber community together for the joint defense of cyberspace.
In this collaboration, Keysight contributes more than two decades of experience in cybersecurity testing and threat intelligence research, which advances the goals of proactive cybersecurity planning and threat mitigation.
The company provides a wide range of cybersecurity products and services, such as network security testing for Internet of Things devices and daily updates on the newest threats via its Threat Simulator.
Keysight strengthens its position as a major supplier of electronic test and measurement goods and services, including cybersecurity training and validation, by joining JCDC. It is anticipated that this partnership would hasten the creation of novel defenses against cyberattacks and protect vital infrastructure.
