PHOENIX, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) announced that its Trusted Manager system, a secure Multi-Level Information Sharing technology used by the Department of Defense, has been added to the Unified Cross Domain Management Office's (UCDMO) baseline list of cross-domain solutions. This directory lists the accredited systems that provide the ability to transfer Department of Defense and Intelligence Community information between multiple security domains.

"Trusted Manager bridges a critical gap in intelligence sharing," said Jim Quinn, vice president with Lockheed Martin's Information Systems & Global Solutions-Defense. "We will continue to evolve the system to ensure that it supports the needs of the warfighter."

Trusted Manager, or TMAN II, is a high assurance information guard that allows data to be manually and/or automatically transferred between two or more differing security domains. This cyber security system incorporates a suite of trusted network-encryption technologies that "guards" classified and sensitive data from unauthorized access while simultaneously protecting networks from intended/unintended corruption by 'malicious' or hidden code. This enables users with top secret, secret and no security clearances to securely share information.

The UCDMO is a joint Department of Defense and Intelligence Community organization that provides centralized coordination and oversight of cross-domain initiatives across these communities. The baseline details cross-domain technologies that are currently operational, have a government sponsor, and a minimum three-year life-cycle support agreement.

Lockheed Martin is a leading provider of cyber security solutions to the Federal government. Our solutions are designed with the right people, processes and embedded technologies to provide customers with mission resilient systems that are always available.
