Imran Umar is a senior cyber solution architect spearheading zero trust initiatives across Booz Allen in support of the Department of Defense (DOD), federal civilian agencies, and the intelligence community.
Imran provides technical solutions that enable organizations to move towards a resilient zero trust architecture by applying unique tradecraft to determine their current zero trust maturity status, identifying key gaps in their architecture, and developing tailored solutions to transition them towards a data-centric security model that enforces least privileged access. Imran works to advance the adoption and fusion of concepts such as zero trust, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to improve cyber resiliency at an enterprise scale. He specializes in advanced zero trust concepts such as secure access service edge (SASE) and security service edge (SSE) that enable conditional access and incorporate data-centric zero trust design principles.
He leads a team of cybersecurity analysts, conducting zero trust maturity assessments for large enterprises. He also is the Booz Allen technical lead overseeing the DOD transition toward a zero trust architecture.
Imran earned a master’s in information and telecommunication systems, with a focus on cybersecurity, from Johns Hopkins University, and a bachelor’s from George Mason University.
