On May 21, Lockheed Martin detected a significant and tenacious attack on its information systems network. The company’s information security team detected the attack soon, and took aggressive actions to protect all systems and data.

Lockheed Martin said that “as a result of the swift and deliberate actions taken to protect the network and increase IT security, our systems remain secure; no customer, programme or employee personal data has been compromised.”

Throughout the ongoing investigation, Lockheed Martin has continued to keep the appropriate US Government agencies informed. The team continues to work around the clock to restore employee access to the network, while maintaining the highest level of security. “To counter the constant threats we face from adversaries around the world, we regularly take actions to increase the security of our systems. Our policies, procedures and vigilance mitigate the cyber threats to our business, and we remain confident in the integrity of our robust, multi-layered information systems security.”
