12 September 2011 – VEGA Consulting Services Ltd (“VEGA”), a Finmeccanica company, will be demonstrating its expertise as a supplier of information superiority and cyber security solutions at Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEi) 2011.

As a founding member of the Finmeccanica Cyber Solutions (FCS) team and a trusted advisor to many UK MOD information-based programmes, VEGA will be attending this year's event as part of the Finmeccanica presence (stand S5305).

With DSEi focussed on the wider international defence and security challenges, VEGA will be demonstrating solutions that are currently supporting information superiority in theatres of operation, secure intelligence sharing, and international cyber security and information assurance challenges.

As part of Finmeccanica Cyber Solutions, VEGA will be presenting the capability of ARCHANGEL™ – a protective monitoring service developed to defend information against the risk of the most malicious cyber threats, operating from a UK sovereign-based Security Operation Centre (SOC).

VEGA will also be highlighting its expertise in support of military information superiority through a combination of the company’s Application Characterisation Services and Application and Network Management capability. Both are already playing a significant role in actively enabling coalition forces to understand their information networks and perform more efficiently in the theatres of operation.

In addition to exhibiting at DSEi, VEGA General Manager, Paul MacGregor, will be participating in the conference programme on a panel discussion entitled “Is the Cyber War Winnable?”. The 45-minute session is scheduled to start at midday on 14 September in Theatre 2.

VEGA General Manager, Paul MacGregor, said: “The 21st century's reliance on information systems, means the management and defence of shared information is of vital importance. In addition, secure Information Superiority is now core to the success of any military programme or commercial enterprise. DSEi provides us with an opportunity to share with customers innovative ways to achieve advantage quickly and cost effectively using our proven technologies and delivery methods.”
