In today’s digital world, it’s an imperative for the U.S.
military to have access to mission-critical information anywhere
around the globe. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is
responsible for ensuring that the Department of Defense (DoD) has
access to the best in class command and control, and
information-sharing capabilities required to keep U.S. warfighters,
national leaders and coalition partners safe. In support of this
mission, DISA has awarded Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) a $40
million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to help improve DoD
cyber security and risk management using automated security
solutions for the agency’s Enterprise Mission Assurance Support
Service (eMASS).
“We are honored to be selected as the government’s trusted
partner for this important DoD cyber security mission,” said Brad
Medairy, senior vice president with Booz Allen. “Today’s
information security professionals can easily spend much of their
day sorting through cyber incident alerts. New approaches, like
automating incident response, are key to cyber resiliency and will
enable DISA’s talented cyber warriors to shift from sorting
anomalies to focusing on the most critical issues.”
Booz Allen will provide full lifecycle development and
sustainment of the eMASS system, including user training and
enhanced integration with other cyber security tools for
state-of-the-art automation. To learn more about Booz Allen’s cyber
