Strategic partnership allows clients to gain objective, high-fidelity insights into their cybersecurity program maturity, risk profile, and mitigation opportunities to maximize return on security investment (ROSI).

Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) and CyberSaint today announced a strategic partnership that aligns Booz Allen’s world-class cybersecurity consulting services with CyberSaint’s industry-leading cyber and IT risk management software, providing clients with an on-demand view of their cybersecurity posture against frameworks and standards like the NIST CSF paired with credible cyber risk quantification and analytics.

Considering the fast-changing landscape of cybersecurity threats, organizations need a way to understand their most critical cyber risks, whether that is ransomware from a criminal group or DDoS from a nation-state, and confidently make decisions around how best to manage those risks. By taking a practitioner approach to understanding threat actor types and motivations, vulnerability opportunity, impact levels of threats, and marrying that with security control postures, Booz Allen Hamilton’s risk model, backed by CyberSaint’s software, has quickly emerged as the one of the most innovative cyber risk assessment solutions on the market. In leveraging this joint solution, clients will be able to objectively quantify their cyber risk posture, know how to prioritize, confidently decide where to take risk, and understand where they can obtain the greatest return on investment (ROI) from their security investments to create business value.

“We are excited to bring this powerful and scalable solution to our clients. Booz Allen’s high-fidelity risk model was designed, built, and refined over time by our team of leading cyber threat and risk modeling practitioners who have decades of experience in the Public (DoD, Intelligence Community) and Private Sectors (Fortune 500 & Global 500) advising operational and strategic decision makers. Our solution correlates the interdependencies between cyber and business risk, which is a critical component to making well-informed decisions focused on enabling and protecting an organization’s value chain,” said Michael Vallone, Booz Allen’s Global Cyber Risk Practice Lead.

“Whether you are a CISO or a CEO, you need a way to get real-time insight into your cybersecurity posture while quantifying risk in a transparent way for enhanced decision-making,” said Jerry Layden, CyberSaint CEO. “CyberSaint’s strategic partnership with Booz Allen allows clients to gain this insight by leveraging proven, cutting-edge approaches to measuring and managing risk.”

The Booz Allen Hamilton Cyber Risk Solution, powered by CyberSaint, is designed for strategic (BoD, ELT, ERM) and operational (CISO, Risk Director) stakeholders to measure, monitor, and manage their enterprise-level cybersecurity risks and control posture.
