Science Applications International Corp. has moved to expand its zero-trust, quantum and encryption technology capabilities by acquiring a developer of cryptographic software.
SAIC has acquired Information Security Corp. in what executives are calling a “tuck-in” buy. Terms of the transaction announced Monday were not disclosed.
ISC’s capabilities include public key infrastructure, encryption, and credential management software. ISC provides cryptographic building blocks needed to assure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data.
“Integrating ISC’s mission-proven cryptographic technologies with SAIC’s pedigree of delivering and operating robust zero-trust architectures provides our intelligence and defense customers with the security and scalability to protect against rapidly evolving threats,” SAIC CEO Jim Reagan said in a release.
ISC builds its products to help customers modernize their cryptographic infrastructure and transition to post-quantum cryptography, SAIC said in its announcement. The CertAgent product has been on the National Security Agency’s Commercial Solutions for Classified Components List for more than a decade.
“For more than three decades, our team has built innovative products to solve some of our customers’ most difficult security challenges. Joining SAIC gives us the opportunity to build on that work and bring ISC’s technology to more customers and more missions,” said Jonathan Schulze-Hewett, vice president of development at ISC.
ISC describes its technology as deeply embedded across the U.S. intelligence community and the Defense Department for identity, authentication and data protection usage.
