BAE Systems

The Applied Intelligence team at BAE Systems helps nations, governments and businesses around the world defend themselves against cyber crime, reduce their risk in the connected world, comply with regulation, and transform their operations.

We do this using our unique set of solutions, systems, experience and processes - often collecting and analysing huge volumes of data. These, combined with our team of threat intelligence and cyber security researchers, as well as data scientists and developers, allow us to defend against cyber attacks, fraud and financial crime, enable intelligence-led policing, and solve complex data problems.

Intelligence is at the core of what we do:

• Cyber defence: Monitoring, analytics, email and cloud-based security, investigation and incident response solutions
• Financial Crime Prevention: Identifying, combating and preventing financial threats, risk, loss or penalties
• Communications Intelligence: Next generation intelligence and cybersecurity solutions for national security and law enforcement; compliance solutions for CSPs
• Digital Transformation: Using data to pursue new business models, enhance customer engagement and improve business operations

We employ over 4,300 people across 18 countries in the Americas, Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

It’s not just security. It’s defence.
