BlackRidge Technology announces a new Federal Government partner, IncrediTek, Inc., a privately held, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business. ITekFED Government Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of IncrediTek, Inc., will work with BlackRidge Technology to provide the Federal sector with advanced cyber security software solutions.

BlackRidge Technology provides identity-based network security that stops cyber-attacks and protects against insider threats at the earliest possible time, on the first packet before network sessions are established. This technology provides the equivalent of secure caller ID for the network that allows only identified and authorized users or devices access to enterprise and cloud systems.

IncrediTek, Inc. will function as a BlackRidge Technology reseller, vending to Federal Government agencies and to joint partners within the Federal sector including Ciena Government Systems, Inc. to deliver identity-based network security solutions.

“BlackRidge provides a new level of identity-based security that addresses a key security vulnerability that is inherent in all networks, including SDN and cloud networks,” said Peed. “I look forward to working with BlackRidge and Ciena to represent the BlackRidge solution in new and existing Federal opportunities, including as a virtual network function to dynamically cloak and protect management and control networks to stop insider and advanced cyber threats.”

As Senior Vice President of ITekFED Government Solutions, Inc., Peed is responsible for the start- up of IncrediTek, Inc.’s Federal Subsidiary. Prior to joining IncrediTek, Inc., Peed led the Ciena Government Solutions, Inc. for nearly 10 years, and continues to provide strategic direction as a member of Ciena’s Government Advisory Board.

“BlackRidge has built a strong relationship with the Ciena Government Solutions team and with David Peed,” said Bob Graham, CEO of BlackRidge Technology. “We are pleased to continue our relationship with David in his new role in building IncrediTek’s Federal business and in bringing BlackRidge network and cyber security solutions to the public sector.”
