At BAE Systems we believe that strong digital defences come from security of both the Enterprise and the Nation

Enterprise Security focuses on defending a single network, such as that of a public or private sector organisation. Defending the Nation extends that challenge to multiple organisations and sectors, as well as against a broad spectrum of threats. Our Cyber Portfolio supports customers in both these areas through products and services that help organisations adapt and respond to the threats and opportunities in the digital realm.

We provide engineering services that help our clients plan, build and operate their mission-critical business systems. With a rich heritage in working in high-trust sectors over many decades, BAE Systems Digital Intelligence can provide the skills, experience, capacity and capability to design, project manage, build and run large-scale software engineering and infrastructure projects for high-assurance organisations, as well as operate mission-critical systems either on-site or from our own delivery centres.

Today’s technology landscape is changing faster than ever before. New and innovative advances become mainstream in a heartbeat and many organisations are struggling to keep up with the pace.

The disruptive effects of this new digital revolution are creating insurmountable challenges to those that are not ready.

It has now become essential for organisations to have the ability to easily adopt new technology trends and quickly capitalise on their opportunities. A digitally successful organisation does not simply understand which technologies are available but has the foundations and knowledge to enhance its capabilities, re-engineer processes and enable new ways of operating. This can only be achieved by providing digital leadership, changing the organisation’s culture and ways of working to enable a continuous, dynamic digital transformation.

Many organisations in such sectors currently have their technology capability managed in a classified data centre, with their staff working in a classified environment. We enable our clients to move to being a more digital organisation, with their technology capability residing both within the traditional classified data centres, and within on-premises cloud and public cloud environments, with their staff working in both classified and non-classified environments, whether this is physical or virtual.

The amount of data created, stored and processed continues to grow exponentially. This presents organisations with the potential to obtain insights that can help them improve their efficiency, manage their risks and exploit new opportunities.

Many organisations struggle to articulate what they want to achieve with data, and its exploitation can prompt legal and ethical challenges. Consequently, data may feel more a burden than opportunity.

BAE Systems Digital Intelligence helps our clients understand how data can enable their organisation to achieve their operational and strategic objectives in a legally and ethically compliant manner. We do not immediately suggest using the latest and greatest new products, but instead provide data science expertise to help organisations research and develop trustworthy analytics that derive maximal value from their data. We also help customers integrate analytic capabilities into their processes and tools so that the ability to exploit data – rapidly, and at scale – becomes a core feature of their organisation.

We help the armed forces train the right people to the right standard, at the right time, in a cost-effective way. We offer a fully integrated training service from needs analysis, design and manufacture to training delivery and follow-up.

We integrate advanced technology into our products and use it to enhance and support manufacturing capability, increasing our efficiency and performance. We also work in partnership with small and large companies in other industries and academic institutions to develop new capability to support our customers.

Our Interactive Link (iLink) information assurance technology enables controlled information sharing between networks to safeguard sensitive data from cyber threats.

Our iLink product suite covers the full range of hardware and software enforcing technology required to implement a Cross Domain Solution (CDS).
