The two systems will allow key ministers and government organizations to collaborate and monitor their defences against cyberattacks in real-time across key ministers and t quickly detect vulnerabilities in key government divisions.

The GCC country chose to remain anonymous to protect its agencies from being targeted by hackers looking to beat IronNet’s systems installed in different countries and organizations.

General (Ret.) Keith Alexander, IronNet’s Co-CEO and Founder, said: “We are proud to be recognized by this visionary GCC country for our Collective Defense platform, which enables anonymized, real-time collaboration and a more proactive approach to combating cyber adversaries,”

Adding:

“Enabling public-private partnerships is a critical part of helping this country strengthen their cybersecurity posture in the face of escalating cyber threats.”

The IronNet Defence Collective uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the backbone to its AI-powered cyberattacks defence system. It is the first such system to use an automated solution to deliver threat knowledge and intelligence at machine speed across industries.

The company’s platform analyzes all threats present across the entire community where it is deployed to identify the main attack patterns and sends anonymized intelligence to all community members in real-time.

Therefore, all members will receive early insight into the most likely attacks on the system. By working together, the cyber security teams can take measures to shore up their security and prevent future attacks.

By working in communities, cyber defenders can penetrate traditional silos, share intelligence, prioritize threat alerts, triangulate threats and consolidate resources against attacks targeted at critical infrastructure.

IronNet shares look attractive at current prices after falling 68.5% in the past year. However, the shares are up 11.4% in the past week and could be headed higher, making the company attractive to investors.
