Booz Allen Hamilton announced on September 24 new insights into the size and scope of its cyber business, highlighting its essential role as the leading cyber security provider for the U.S. government.
Building on more than 30 years of technology, tradecraft, and adversarial insights, Booz Allen’s broad and deep cyber portfolio puts the company at the center of nearly all major cyber missions across public and private sectors. Today, the company has more than 8,000 cyber professionals supporting both offensive and defensive U.S. government missions as well as a range of commercial enterprises. It has nearly 300 active cyber projects.
Aligned with its VoLT strategy (Velocity, Leadership, Technology), Booz Allen’s cyber business is positioned at the nexus of technology innovation and missions of national importance. The company pursues a “One Battlespace” approach, reflecting the nature of today’s growing cyber threat where adversaries see the cyber domain as a single, expanding attack surface across defense, intelligence, civilian, and commercial infrastructures. Booz Allen takes a holistic view of the threat landscape and emerging tech solutions to defeat advanced cyber threats across sectors, domains and missions, according to the company.
This approach positions the company to address the trends that are likely to significantly drive clients’ cyber missions in the near future, including a need to maintain U.S. strategic advantage in the cyber domain, the transformation of cyber defense through Zero Trust and AI systems, a need to secure the physical world, and preparing for a post-quantum world, the company said.
“Our adversaries don’t see boundaries, and neither do we,” said Brad Medairy, executive vice president and leader of Booz Allen’s national cyber business. “Maintaining a strategic advantage in the cyber domain requires a unified approach that applies IP and tradecraft to develop best-in-class solutions that leverage commercial partnerships and advanced dual-use technologies. We’ve organized our business to meet the adversary where they are, enabling us to bring the full scale and expertise of Booz Allen to the mission—because cyber security is national security.”
