Cyber Assurance Testing Lab

At Booz Allen Hamilton, we take the guesswork out of cyber security with an interactive Cyber Assurance Testing Lab (CATL) accredited to test and certify a range of products against federal and international standards. As product-agnostic partners, we use our deep cyber expertise and broad sector experience to connect clients with the right mix of vendors and products to support their cyber missions.

Booz Allen is the premier Certification & Authorization and penetration testing/vulnerability assessment contractor to the U.S. government. We support various government agencies, including NIST and NSA, and serve as primary authors to the Certification & Authorization policy documents.

Our CATL is an important component of our powerful Cyber Solutions Network, a virtually-connected constellation of centers and labs, each equipped with unique tools and expertise to counter 21st century cyber threats. This network provides access to more than 5,000 cyber experts, threat intelligence, proven technologies, and the latest training—available any time and from any location.

Booz Allen’s Cyber Assurance Testing Lab is an important component of our powerful Cyber Solutions Network. This network is a virtually-connected constellation of centers and labs, each equipped with unique tools and expertise needed to counter 21st century cyber threats. Today’s cyber battleground is constantly evolving, and cyber criminals are devising increasingly sophisticated attacks for financial and political gain. To stay one step ahead of these threats, organizations need access to a host of resources to help them prevent, identify, and effectively respond to rogue cyber agents. The Booz Allen Cyber Solutions Network provides access to thousands of cyber experts, threat intelligence, proven technologies, and the latest training—available any time and from any location.

Our Network’s capabilities are aligned to four core service areas: Advanced cyber analytics, computer network defense, product testing, and evaluation and comprehensive cyber training. Through these areas, companies have access to continuous network monitoring, proactive threat detection, technology evaluation data, and virtual education courses within a secure environment that enables real-time collaboration with some of the top cyber experts in the world.

Cyber technology vendors are often unsure how to thrive in such a competitive environment or how to receive a certification assuring that their product delivers as promised. With a specialization in product validation services, we help vendors understand the market demands as well as the complex evaluation requirements and processes required to work with both commercial companies and government agencies. In fact, our cyber experts helped to develop many of today’s standards, so we use that intimate understanding of the requirements to help vendors navigate the process. We work with cyber technology vendors to thoroughly understand their products before our assessment begins, accelerating the process, eliminating costs, and instilling confidence in their ability to compete.

We use insights from our testing lab as well as from live client environments to help commercial and government buyers understand the options and find the right tools to address their specific needs. Integrating with our CyberM3 reference model, we map cyber products to proven solution architectures, offering expert recommendations to help connect the dots. In addition, we host an interactive environment where buyers can engage in hands-on use of products in real time, true-to-life scenarios to determine which option works best for their needs. The result is assurance that the products they select will be delivered with the proper integration and configuration to reduce the attack surface and support their cyber strategies.
