Overwatch and Azos AI Join Hands to Make and Market Information Assurance Products

In order to safeguard organizational data by employing monitoring tools, Overwatch, an operating unit of Textron Systems, a Textron Inc. company, and Azos AI, LLC, an innovator in embedded intelligence for the information technology industry, has announced that the two companies have entered into an agreement to jointly bring to market CogDat technology and services.

 According to a press release, Overwatch, a company in multi-source and geospatial intelligence solutions, will work with Azos to develop and market CogDat based products for a wide range of organizations, especially U.S. Department of Defense and government agencies that need greater information assurance capabilities.

This deal will offer a unique, proactive capability for data protection targeting critical needs in autonomous data security, privacy, cyber-crime and cyber warfare. Azos AI, LLC leverages its extensive expertise in artificial intelligence (AI), application development, and communications. It continues development of its technology portfolio as the company addresses and resolves very critical challenges in today's world.

“With the growing convergence of globally-connected computers and cell phones with the Internet, protection of information and digital assets stored within our systems is reaching critical proportions,” said Overwatch Vice President of Business Development and Strategy Jonathan Percy. “As this convergence becomes more prolific in government agencies and businesses, providing complete cyber protection through conventional means will no longer be feasible. Through this business relationship, Overwatch and Azos AI plan to bring new technologies to market to help protect and safeguard our nation’s digital domains.”

"Think of CogDat as a data capsule that combines autonomous intelligence with advanced security wrapped around the data. This capability is especially important for interoperability and multi-tenant environments like the cloud,” said Shelia Burgess, chief executive officer of Azos AI. “Our companies have a shared vision to provide leading-edge solutions for data protection, and Overwatch brings exceptional value to this initiative with its experience in the data security market.”

In other company news, TMCnet reported that Overwatch announced the release of latest version of its satellite image analysis software, RemoteView 3.2.
