It said that according to Raytheon, six unnamed federal government agencies involved in defense, intelligence or law enforcement have bought licenses for the software from the company. One agency bought 12 licenses. The $65,000 program is being unveiled to the computer-industry press on Wednesday as the start of a big marketing campaign, the newspaper reported. SilentRunner uses complex algorithms to find potentially improper uses of internal computer networks, the Wall Street Journal said. Raytheon claims the product can identify hard-to-discern patterns of data traffic that signal fraud, insider trading, or espionage by a company's employees, the article said.
