Keysight joins Joint Cyber ​​Defense Collaborative to advance cybersecurity across critical sectors

Keysight Technologies, Inc. today announced it has joined the Joint Cyber ​​Defense Collaborative (JCDC), expanding its current partnership with the U.S. government to advance the nation’s cybersecurity resilience. Leveraging 20 years of cybersecurity testing and threat intelligence research, Keysight will support the JCDC’s mission to unite the global cyber community in collective cyber defense.

In response to growing threats to national security, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) established the JCDC in August 2021 under congressional authority. A unique public-private partnership, the JCDC proactively collects, analyzes, and shares actionable cyber risk intelligence to better plan, defend, and respond to cybersecurity. The primary goal of the JCDC is to enable participants to outpace adversaries and mitigate cybersecurity threats before they have an impact.

Keysight offers a comprehensive set of tools that enable organizations to proactively approach cybersecurity from chip to cloud, including testing of deployed tools against the latest threats and a Cyber ​​Range training environment to keep skills up to date. Keysight’s Threat Simulator offers daily updates with the latest malware and ransomware campaigns to validate network firewalls, endpoint protection software and SIEM tools, and CyPerf assesses cybersecurity effectiveness and user experience in distributed and cloud environments. To test and improve the cybersecurity of devices such as IoT and industrial controllers, Keysight’s IOT Security Assessment provides firmware analysis, SBOM generation and network security testing of connected devices.

Keysight’s security validation tools are automated and easy to use, making it easy for operators of critical IT and operational technology (OT) environments to validate their resilience to emerging threats. Additionally, Keysight offers cybersecurity validation products and services for every stage of the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon analysis to cloud security validation.

Scott Register, vice president of security solutions at Keysight, said: “Keysight is honored to join JCDC, extending our long-standing track record of working with the U.S. government as a provider of electronic test and measurement products and services, including electronic warfare, 5G/6G, and cybersecurity validation and training. By combining our experience with the collective strength of JCDC, we can accelerate the development of innovative solutions to secure critical infrastructure and protect our nation from cyberattacks.”
