I would say Booz Allen is probably, if not actively working, has worked for most major agencies in the federal government.
Booz Allen specializes in IT work, especially in the hot area of cyber security. Some of its biggest contracts are with military and intelligence services, like the National Security Agency. Many of its 25,000 employees are people like Edward Snowden, former government workers who come with security clearances.
The Obama administration's intelligence chief, James Clapper, used to work at Booz Allen. And the man who held that job in the Bush administration, Mike McConnell, now works there. McConnell spoke about cyber security in a video produced by the company.
Nation-states are building cyber-warfare tools. They will use the same means to get into a system that they would use for espionage or exploitation.
People like McConnell are one reason Booz Allen has prospered, people with strong ties to the intelligence community who know their way around government. Tom Rodenhauser is managing director at Kennedy Information, which follows the consulting industry. He says Booz Allen has quietly managed to earn the confidence of government officials.
There's a high degree of - I would call it - professionalism and confidentiality that permeates the company. Part of its bedrock principles is having that confidentiality aspect. That's how consultants work.George Price是BB&T资本市场的一位分析员。“如果不是积极工作的话，Booz Allen公司可能已经为联邦政府的大多数主要部门工作了。” Booz Allen公司擅长IT方面，特别是热点地区的数据安全。最大的合同中的一部分就是像国家安全局一样，为军方提供情报服务。它的两万五千名雇员中的许多人都和这位前政府工作人员--Edward Snowden一样受过忠诚度调查。奥巴马管理团队中的情报主管，James Clapper就曾经供职于Booz Allen公司。在布什执政期间获得同样工作的Mike McConnell，现在还在那儿工作。McConnell在一段公司提供的视频中谈及数字安全问题。“国家在创造网络战的工具，他们使用同样的方式进入一个用于谍报和搜寻的系统。”这些像McConnell一样的人是Booz Allen公司发展壮大的一大原因，这些熟悉政府情况的人与情报部门联系紧密。Tom Rodenhauser是咨询业中肯尼迪信息公司的总裁。他认为是这种机密的管理方式为Booz Allen公司赢得了政府的信任。“我认为在这家公司里充满了高度的职业性和保密性。它的一些基本原则里就体现了机密特征。这就是咨询顾问的工作方式。”
