"We have policies and procedures in place to mitigate the cyber threats to our business, and we remain confident in the integrity of our robust, multi-layered information systems security," the statement noted.
Earlier, a Reuters story quoting unnamed sources within Lockheed had reported that the defense contractor was grappling with a major internal computer network problem that had affected a "lot of people."
