On May 13, General Dynamics Information Technology<\/a> (GDIT), a business unit of General Dynamics, and NightDragon<\/a>, a SecureTech investment and advisory firm, announced a new strategic collaboration agreement aimed to accelerate the U.S. government\u2019s adoption of emerging security technologies.<\/p>\n

Through this collaboration, GDIT will work with NightDragon to align leading cybersecurity, national security, and defense companies in NightDragon\u2019s portfolio with U.S. government programs supported by GDIT. This will enable accelerated insertion of innovative commercial technology in complex, highly regulated government environments in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and autonomy across all six domains, including air, sea, land, space, and cyber. The agreement will facilitate co-investment in technical solutions for national security, civilian and health missions.<\/p>\n

“Our collaboration with NightDragon reinforces our commitment to bringing the latest commercial technology to address federal agencies\u2019 toughest mission challenges,\u201d said Amy Gilliland, GDIT\u2019s president. \u201cWe look forward to leveraging our collective strengths to further accelerate innovation and rapidly deliver mission-ready technology solutions that are proven, secure and scalable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining NightDragon\u2019s investment in emerging technologies with GDIT\u2019s scale and mission expertise, we can accelerate the journey from innovation to impact, ensuring breakthrough technologies are ready to address the most complex and evolving national security challenges,\u201d said Dave DeWalt, founder and chief executive officer, NightDragon. \u201cIn today\u2019s dynamic and increasingly contested security landscape, especially as cyber and defense converge, scaling visionary companies to deliver advanced capabilities has never been more critical for maintaining strategic advantage and protecting our national interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

The collaboration builds on the existing partnerships that GDIT, and other General Dynamics business units, have with cyber and defense companies in NightDragon\u2019s portfolio. For example, GDIT has already won more than $120 million in contracts by partnering with NightDragon portfolio companies, including Horizon3.ai, to secure critical infrastructure from cyber threats at military bases.<\/p>\n

“As a NightDragon portfolio company, we\u2019ve already seen firsthand how the combination of NightDragon\u2019s strategic support and GDIT\u2019s deep mission expertise can accelerate growth and open meaningful opportunities. With active collaborations and deals in the pipeline, this partnership is helping companies like Horizon3.ai bring innovative cybersecurity capabilities to support critical national security missions faster and at greater scale,\u201d said Snehal Antani, co-founder and chief executive officer, Horizon3.ai.<\/p>\n
