Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT), Raytheon Company (RTN): Is North Korea Led By a Modern Day Super-Villain?

With that in mind, I’d also be surprised if SAIC, Inc. (NYSE:SAI) didn’t join Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN) in the program, especially considering it already has a well-established presence in the industry through its dedicated cybersecurity segment.

If you’re looking for an even more diversified company, though, don’t forget General Electric Company (NYSE:GE) , whose massive reach includes business segments that focus on everything from locomotives to appliances, medical devices, aircraft engines, finance, energy infrastructure, and lighting.

So where does GE come in here? Believe it or not, the massive industrials conglomerate also has a robust military communications segment which focuses on addressing hacking threats and network sabotage. Through it, GE provides products including military-grade secure routers and switches, custom firewalls, packet encryption software, and other cyber tools dedicated to intrusion detection and prevention.

We’re not going anywhere
In the end, no matter what North Korea tries to throw our way, we can rest assured knowing so many people are working hard to protect everything our country has to offer. Considering the fact there will likely always be another hostile country out there to stir up trouble, it’s safe to say all five of the aforementioned companies have what it takes to secure their places in the defense market for decades to come.
