Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) July 08, 2014

Narus, Inc., a subsidiary of Boeing [NYSE:BA] and leader in big data analytics for cybersecurity solutions, and the Politecnico di Torino, one of the most recognized research universities in Italy, announced a new Cyber Innovation Center. Located on the prestigious engineering university’s campus, the new center will focus on advanced cybersecurity research projects and prototyping of technologies that help identify and resolve cyber threats. Leveraging the expertise of local talent, the new center will also foster advanced science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education while generating new technologies that will be integrated into Narus products.

A celebration to commemorate the opening of the center was held in March. The event featured a demonstration of recent innovations in cybersecurity by Narus, speakers from the Politecnico di Torino, Narus and Boeing, and opportunities to meet some of the leading minds in the cybersecurity industry.

“We’re always looking for new industry partnerships that help our group of talented researchers to be on the cutting edge of technology,” said Marco Gilli, rector at the Politecnico di Torino. “The new Cyber Innovation Center located at our university provides us the opportunity to share our knowledge and be at the forefront of developing technologies, combating the cyber threats of today and tomorrow.”

The Cyber Innovation Center underscores Narus’ commitment to Europe. The center will serve not only as a resource for the cybersecurity industry, but also as a forum for government and private industry to ask questions and share ideas on making cyberspace safer.

“Narus has a long history of innovating in the area of cybersecurity through its fellows program, which has included leading global universities like the Politecnico di Torino for five years. These partnerships have resulted in a number of joint patents and technologies that are incorporated into Narus products,” said John Trobough, president, Narus. “Expanding the program by funding research effort in Europe opens up a large pool of talented people here as we enhance collaboration between nations on both sides of the Atlantic.”
