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.

“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.
