Huntington Ingalls Industries [HII] on Monday said it has acquired the cyber security firm G2 Inc., which will be part of the company’s Technical Solutions division that was stood up in late 2016 following the acquisition of government services provider Camber Corp.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. G2 has about 130 employees, most of who hold various levels of security clearances, Andy Green, president of Technical Solutions, told Defense Daily in a phone interview.
G2 is based in Maryland near where U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency are located. The company’s capabilities include computer network exploitation, data science and analytics, edge computing, and commercial cyber services.
G2, on its website, says it pursues grant stage research around employee-initiated activities that have led to product development. The company’s Prevalent product is approved by the government to manage dispersed trusted cyber sensors from multiple vendors.
“The acquisition of G2 adds advanced cyber security capabilities to our portfolio and supports our strategy to expand our professional services business,” Mike Petters, HII’s president and CEO, said in statement.
Green said the acquisition gives his division a high-quality team of cyber security-focused professionals with customers in the intelligence community and elsewhere in the federal government. He said some of the customers are new for Technical Solutions while others are existing ones.
