Booz Allen Hamilton Wins $621 Million DHS Cyber Contract

The Homeland Security Department granted Booz Allen Hamilton a $621 million, six-year contract Friday to lead the next phase of a major governmentwide cybersecurity program. Under the program, called Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, or CDM, Homeland Security provides a suite of cybersecurity tools that help agencies monitor and respond to suspicious activity on their networks. The program feeds alerts about that activity into a central agency dashboard.
