In-Q-Tel Invests In a Secure Company

The independent venture arm of the U.S. intelligence community, In-Q-Tel, needed good IT Support and for that it has invested in IT security company FireEye, the company announced Wednesday.
The IT companies, In-Q-Tel and FireEye didn't disclose terms of the agreement, or which intelligence agencies are particularly interested in the technology. However, in a release, they said that the investment "will extend FireEye's cyber security IT product development and stealth malware technical capabilities to protect against cyber threats." 

California-based FireEye sells an out-of-band security software that monitors all inbound network traffic, employing a blend of signatures and heuristics to analyze traffic for evidence of suspicious behavior.
