Booz Allen Hamilton

Technology and consulting for national missions

The United States government is the main customer of Booz Allen Hamilton, a consulting and technology firm. Its own site frames the firm's purpose around civil, defense and national security priorities, under the line that its commitment starts with country. The work combines advisory services with engineering, analytics and its own technology products.

Cyber defense

Cyber is one of the areas the firm gives most space to. It runs cyber fusion centers, which merge cyber threat intelligence and threat defense operations into a single integrated security function. Its cybersecurity strategy work draws on deep technical talent, sector insight and more than a century of practitioner experience, according to the firm. Its incident response services handle advanced persistent threats, help organizations rebuild operations after an incident and prepare clients for sophisticated attacks, and Booz Allen says an IDC MarketScape report named it a leader in this area.

Data, AI and space

The firm describes analytics and data science as a core capability and highlights artificial intelligence, post-quantum cryptography and real-time cyber defense in its technology coverage. It also describes space defense work that combines analytics, AI, cybersecurity and positioning, navigation and timing to strengthen information superiority. A platform called Modelpoint is presented as analyzing threats far faster than human analysts working alone, and a mobile kit for military decision making is described as speeding up battle management at the edge.

A partner network and an acquisition

Booz Allen says hard problems are not solved in a single lab, so it draws on a partner program to fit each client's mission. It has also completed its acquisition of the Ultra I&C Mission Solutions business, which now forms the commercial product and solutions part of its defense technology business and adds battle management, secure communications, encryption and edge compute.

Sectors and regions

Beyond federal agencies, the firm names energy, resources and utilities, homeland security and law enforcement, and commercial clients among the sectors it serves. It has expanded its presence into Southeast Asia and works with teams in Europe on deterrence and defense missions.
