National Security

Government’s strategic security interests span the traditional responsibilities of national intelligence communities and extend to developing strategies to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure, ensure the integrity of the nation’s border, and improve the capabilities of the law enforcement community to leverage intelligence and technology in the fight against crime. At the same time, businesses have an increasing need to build rigorous risk assessment, security and resilience strategies into their corporate infrastructure.

Booz & Company has a long history of providing support to major national security, intelligence, border security and law enforcement agencies.  We create essential advantage for our government clients by addressing their most complex and emerging challenges, where the stakes are highest.  We help agencies develop new concepts of operations, align executive teams around new operating models, and build long term implementation strategies.  We assist our commercial clients by creating innovative security and resilience solutions that draw on leading edge practices in government.  

Our cleared  national security professionals work in partnership with clients to develop capabilities, share best practices, and leverage the best thinking in the intelligence disciplines, border security and law enforcement, strategic policy and inter-agency capability coordination, national security performance measurement, vulnerability assessment, business assurance and risk management.
