Accenture Federal Services won a $90 million prime contract to provide data analytics and vulnerability research and analysis support to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The company will support CISA’s Cybersecurity Division Vulnerability Management Insights Branch by delivering timely and actionable guidance on risk mitigation strategies to the agency’s partners and stakeholders, the company said.
The length of the CISA CSD VM Insights contract is a 1-year base with four option years.
“Accenture Federal Services values our work with CISA helping to ensure senior leaders at departments, agencies, and the private sector throughout the United States understand their role in reducing the likelihood and impact of a potentially damaging compromise,” said Accenture Federal Services CEO Ron Ash. “This is important work, as it supports the agency and its partners with protecting our nation’s critical infrastructure and enhancing overall cyber resilience.”
CISA’s VM Insights Branch supports CISA’s implementation of the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022.
“CISA plays a critical role in enabling cyber risk reduction, strengthening critical infrastructure resilience, and reducing attack surface exposure in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks,” said Paloma Prutsok, a managing director in Accenture Federal Services and CISA client account lead. “Our team looks forward to using our global expertise to deliver transformative analytic products and solutions that help execute the VM mission.”
In 2021, Accenture Federal Services was awarded a $112 million prime task order from CISA to protect federal civilian executive branch systems against cyberattacks.
