Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has collaborated with NEC
Corporation (TSE:6701), a leader in the integration of IT and

is a private, cloud-based cyber range that quickly and effectively
emulates customers' environments for the purpose of testing and

In Japan, there has been a rapid rise in demand for security and

testing, training and exercises that prepare cyber professionals to
detect and prevent cyber-attacks in a real-world setting.
NEC, Northrop Grumman and Mitsubishi Corporation, through the
J-CORTEX offering, will ensure a broader range of cybersecurity
professionals have access to the most current cyber defensive
methods and resources to ensure that government networks are well
protected against modern adversaries.
"Northrop Grumman is committed to building trusted partnerships
with the Japanese government," said Jack Dorsett, chief executive,
Northrop Grumman Japan. "Cyber represents one of our core
capabilities and we are delighted to work with NEC and Mitsubishi
Corporation to deploy a leading-edge solution for cyber operations
research, training and experimentation."
"We are grateful to collaborate with Northrop Grumman, who has
rich experience in cybersecurity globally. Through this
collaboration, NEC will enhance our ability to provide cyber
training and help ensure the security of customers in Japan," said
Kazuhiko Shiraishi, general manager, National Security Solutions
Division, NEC Corporation.
