“The combination of Baker Hughes’ global reach in delivering a broad portfolio of technology solutions and R9B’s military-grade technology that protects critical infrastructure enables organizations to manage the complex cyber threats they face every day,” said Eric Hipkins, CEO at R9B. “We are thrilled to join forces and advance cyber threat protection for the energy and utility companies Baker Hughes serves across 120 countries.”
