Booz Allen Will Implement and Operate
Thunderdome’s Zero Trust Network Access and Application Security
Architecture
Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) today announced it was awarded a
follow-on production other transaction authority (OTA) agreement
for at-scale deployment of Thunderdome, the Defense Information
Systems Agency’s (DISA) zero trust network access and application
security architecture. The single-award contract has a one-year
base period of performance, with four one-year option periods.
Under this agreement, Booz Allen will help to move DISA, the Fourth
Estate, and its mission partners toward a zero-trust
architecture.
Booz Allen will broadly implement and operate Thunderdome’s zero
trust network access and application security architecture, which
will harden Department of Defense (DoD) networks and help
warfighters defend against adversarial activity by employing
network and resource access tools along with segmentation
technologies. DISA’s Thunderdome capabilities align with the
Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity and the DoD
Zero Trust Strategy and Roadmap.
“The at-scale production of Thunderdome will be a critical step
toward moving DoD forward in its zero trust journey,” said Kelly
Rozumalski, a senior vice president leading Booz Allen’s National
Cyber defense business. “Our team successfully demonstrated the use
of commercial technologies to help meet many of DoD’s zero trust
implementation goals, and our internal zero trust investments
helped accelerate our ability to bring innovative solutions to
complex challenges. This agreement further establishes Booz Allen
as the premier zero trust service provider to federal
agencies.”
This award follows Booz Allen’s successful delivery of the
Thunderdome prototype earlier this year. In January 2022, DISA
awarded an initial OTA agreement to Booz Allen for the execution of
a Thunderdome prototype, a zero-trust security solution to
modernize and strengthen DoD’s cybersecurity terrain. During the
prototype phase, DISA successfully onboarded over 1,800 users to
Thunderdome and implemented conditional access for remote and
on-premise users. In addition, Booz Allen achieved an Authority to
Operate (ATO) for Thunderdome on DISA’s unclassified and classified
network.
“At-scale adoption of Thunderdome is a huge step toward zero
trust and, ultimately, mitigating malicious activity,” said Chris
Pymm, DISA’s Thunderdome portfolio manager. “The success of the
prototype proved that commercial-off-the-shelf technologies can be
integrated effectively to accelerate zero trust within DoD. Not
only did Thunderdome’s prototype improve security in evaluated
operational use cases, it also added efficiency to pilot users
across the DoD Information Network.”
DISA’s Thunderdome prototype proved that commercial
technologies, including Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Software
Defined-Wide Area Networks/Customer Edge Security Stack (CESS), and
Application Security Stacks, can improve both security and network
performance in an existing enterprise environment. Thunderdome is a
set of technologies integrated with, but not dependent upon, each
other.
“We are proud of our partnership with DISA to successfully
deliver the Thunderdome prototype,” said Imran Umar, a vice
president spearheading Booz Allen’s zero trust practice. “The
Thunderdome prototype was composed of innovative technologies to
demonstrate, with real users, that they will work together to
deliver the tenets of zero trust on both classified and
unclassified networks. We look forward to our continued partnership
with DISA to take this solution into full production.”
