IBM and Raytheon Technologies have partnered to incorporate emerging technology into aerospace, defense and intelligence platforms to support customers such as the federal government.
The two companies agreed to develop artificial intelligence, quantum computing and cryptographic tools to help public and private sector clients protect networks and make decisions, Raytheon said Monday.
A joint team of technical professionals will work to integrate IBM’s commercial products into programs covered by the strategic partnership.
“Take something as fundamental as encrypted communications,” said Mark Russell, chief technology officer of Raytheon Technologies.
“As computing and quantum technologies advance, existing cybersecurity and cryptography methods are at risk of becoming vulnerable.”
