Transforming Cybersecurity in the Middle East

CyberM3: A Strategic Roadmap for Cybersecurity

Middle East countries are experiencing extraordinary economic and technical transformations as a result of the desire to diversify their portfolios and be the best in the world. Business opportunities in the Middle East are growing; with this rapid growth comes an unprecedented level of cyber threats. Many organizations in the Middle East, especially in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are beginning to recognize the need for a solid cybersecurity program.

Booz Allen Hamilton’s CyberM3 capability maturity model enables organizations to actively move from a perimeter-based security to an intelligence-driven approach to security.

Turning Big Data into Big Insights

Leverage the power of our Cloud Analytics Reference Architecture

We are living in the greatest age of information discovery the world has ever known. Fueled in large part by the more than five billion mobile phones in use around the globe, our world is increasingly measured, instrumented, monitored, and automated in ways that generate incredible amounts of rich and complex data. Unfortunately, the number of big data analysts and the capabilities of traditional tools aren’t keeping pace with this unprecedented data growth.

Booz Allen Hamilton’s Cloud Analytics Reference Architecture integrates cloud computing technology and advanced analytic capabilities. Our secure, scalable, and schema-less framework allows machines to do the mundane tasks required to compile and sort the data and frees people to do the analysis that provides insights for data-driven decision-making.

Most organizations are unprepared for the deluge of data and are unable to turn big data into big insights that drive intelligent business decisions. For the last 20 years, systems have been built in stovepipes, which actively prevent the insights to occur.

Our layered framework incorporates a wide range of services to move from technology infrastructure with chaotic, distributed data burdened by noise to large-scale data processing and analytics characterized by speed, precision, security, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Booz Allen brings together best-of-breed domain experts, software engineers, and analysts to extract new insights from data, enabling our clients to make the intelligent data-driven business decisions required to compete in today’s information age.

With the OH-58D, the mountainous terrain in Afghanistan was interfering with over-the-horizon communication. With the UH-60, the ingestion of sand material in Iraq was causing the engine start control valve to become clogged and inoperable, leading to high turnover in the fleet.

Working through the PIF, Booz Allen ES rapidly installed an ARC-231 multi-band radio with a satellite communications capability on the OH-58D airframe. We also established in-theater test, repair and partial overhaul capability for the UH-60 engine start control valve, re-engineering an existing depot capability into a transportable, self-contained and fieldable system.

Booz Allen ES fixed the full set of OH-58D aircraft that were going into theater within 16 weeks, ensuring they were able to communicate with their brethren without any concern for the terrain. By keeping the assets in-theater, we also resolved the UH-60 engine start control valve issue within three months, despite a nine-month backlog of orders.

Delivering IT Efficiency

Supporting the Air Force’s IT Efficiency Initiatives

Facing increasing mission scope and declining budgets, the federal government is optimizing its use of information technology to drive cost savings while enhancing operational effectiveness. In-depth analysis of the people, processes, and systems that support an IT organization is the first step to identifying efficiencies that will enhance mission performance.

Aiming to reduce IT spending by more than $1B, the CIO of the Air Force looked across the entire enterprise and identified eight major IT initiatives with the potential to produce the desired cost savings. Booz Allen quickly deployed a multi-disciplinary team of experts to assist in the financial, operational, and technical analysis of the CIO’s eight initiatives.

Facing significantly reduced budgets, the CIO of the Air Force needed to identify $1B in IT efficiencies across eight strategic initiatives without compromising security.

Booz Allen quickly deployed a team of experts to assist with in-depth analyses of the lifecycle costs, technical specifications, and manpower requirements associated with the CIO’s eight initiatives.

Working closely with Air Force IT leaders, Booz Allen’s RightITTM methodology identified more than $1.1B in IT cost savings across the CIO’s eight initiatives, as well as additional efficiencies beyond the scope of the engagement.

Factors such as rough terrain and IED detonations could cause the Buffalo MRAP vehicles to roll over, leaving U.S. Marines disoriented. It became apparent that emergency egress lighting (EEL) was needed to help the Marines locate the Buffalo’s egress points after a rollover event.

Working in concert with Panama City Naval Surface Warfare Center, Booz Allen ES engineers, software programmers, modelers, and fabricators began conceptualizing how an EEL system could be implemented in MRAP vehicles. With the Buffalo on site, Booz Allen ES conducted rapid design, development, and testing of the EEL system.

Booz Allen ES provided the Marine Corps with the EEL system from concept to production and is today completing fabrication of production units and spares, ultimately saving hundreds of lives.

Improving Public Safety with Analytics

Booz Allen’s innovative approach to a national priority with ICE earns prestigious INFORMS analytics award.

After years of gathering large amounts of data, organizations now face the challenge of interpreting the data in ways that advance their business goals or mission areas. Traditional methods of processing this much data could take years, much too long to be effective in determining probable cost, risk, and outcomes of time-sensitive initiatives. Booz Allen’s expertise in Analytics, on the other hand, enables organizations to process, interpret, and use massive data stores in weeks or months.
