A Northrop Grumman Australian subsidiary has partnered with HTC Corp. to develop smartphone security offerings and set up a new mobile device data security standard.
Northrop Grumman M5 Network Security has started to work on several Android-based platform offers as part of its secure communications mobile program, the company said Wednesday.
Ian Irving, chief executive of Northrop Grumman Australia, said that the company looks forward to work with HTC on its goal to build on the progress the company had with Secure Communications System and its 2015 Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science for Safeguarding Australia recognition.
Northrop added the companies aim to address concerns of infrastructure and government organizations over cybersecurity and threats to computer networks.
