Mercury Acquires Star Lab to Advance Its Leadership Position in Secure Processing

Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com), a technology company that delivers mission-critical processing to the edge, today announced the closure of an agreement that will further advance the company’s leadership position in secure processing capabilities for aerospace and defense applications.

Mercury has completed the acquisition of Star Lab, a subsidiary of Wind River Systems, Inc., that provides anti-tamper and cybersecurity software solutions designed to protect mission-critical processors from advanced attacks. Mercury has worked with Star Lab for more than a decade, leveraging its technology in deployed and awarded Common Processing Architecture and BuiltSECURE™ products, which mitigate reverse engineering and safeguard confidential data from adversarial threats even when a system has been compromised. This unique technology is required across many defense applications in order to deter, impede, detect, and respond to the exploitation of critical program information.

Star Lab software is readily and easily integrated with many other Mercury products to provide unique and valuable cybersecurity protection for customers. The acquisition will enhance a wide range of Mercury products and solutions, such as rugged servers, embedded processing cards, mixed signal cards, avionics, and integrated processing solutions. Star Lab will join Mercury’s Processing Technologies business unit.
