Camber has developed security tools that are recognized throughout the IC. In conjunction with the IC, DoD, and numerous federal agencies, Camber contributes to the security and integrity of the nation's most critical computer assets.

"The combination of the two firms provides Camber with an excellent platform in the intelligence community to address growing issues, including the cyber threat," said Randall Meyers, CEO and founder of i2S.

"i2S is the gold standard for intelligence capability, and we are ready to use Camber's corporate infrastructure to enhance i2S' operational maturity," said Bruce Schoemer, Senior Vice President for Camber's National Security Group. "Acquiring i2S is a perfect synergy, as we can combine our broad based capabilities with i2S' proven IC talent, opportunities, and customer sets."

The alliance of the two companies is made complete with a shared customer-focused, employee-driven approach to making their customers successful. With its well-known and highly regarded senior consultants, i2S is well poised to join Camber's base of more than 1,900 employees.

Camber plans to preserve the i2S brand, and will also bring i2S expertise into its existing customer base, such as the Unified Combatant Commands. The larger mission is to create a well respected, intelligence business supporting the IC, Defense Intelligence, and the rapidly growing Domestic Intelligence community, with additional focus on cyber security, law enforcement, and border protection.
