""Much of our work is de facto neither public nor publicised," the L3Harris website says about its offensive cyber capabilities. "We are particular about who we work with and so, for all the right reasons, our customer set is both select and small, comprising only those who share our own high ethical standards," it continues. "Standing shoulder to shoulder with allied governments, defence, security and law enforcement agencies, we work to make the world a safer place by 'preventing the event' and defending national security from ever-evolving threats.""
"Federal prosecutors have charged a former general manager of US government defense contractor L3Harris's cyber arm Trenchant with selling secrets to an unidentified Russian buyer for $1.3 million. According to the Justice Department, Peter Williams stole seven trade secrets belonging to two unnamed companies between April 2022 and June 2025 "knowing and intending those secrets to be sold outside of the United States, and specifically to a buyer based in the Russian Federation.""
Peter Williams, a former director and general manager at L3Harris's Trenchant cyber division, is charged with selling stolen trade secrets to a Russian buyer for $1.3 million. Prosecutors allege he stole seven trade secrets belonging to two unnamed companies between April 2022 and June 2025 with intent to sell them outside the United States. Trenchant develops offensive cyber capabilities, including computer network operations and vulnerability research, and describes its customer base as small and ethically aligned with allied governments and law enforcement. The lawsuit does not accuse Trenchant or L3Harris of wrongdoing; a company spokesperson declined to comment. Williams is an Australian national who joined Trenchant in October 2024 and resigned on August 21.
