HUNTSVILLE, AL--(Marketwire - August 24, 2009) - Camber Corporation, provider of cyber
security, subject matter experts, engineering solutions, acquisition
management, full-service education, and training to defense audiences
worldwide, has acquired the Columbia, MD-based intelligence analysis and
solutions firm i2S, Inc. i2S will become part of Camber's National
Security Group.
With demand soaring for cyber security expertise, Camber is proud to have
the opportunity to be involved in i2S' exciting intelligence community (IC)
work. i2S' core competencies include intelligence analysis, knowledge
management, systems engineering, advanced software development, and
enterprise architecture expertise.
"Combining Camber's cyber security expertise, along with i2S' analysis
talent, creates a solid platform on which to build our cyber enterprise,"
said Ken Foxton, Camber vice president of National Intelligence Programs.
Camber is well established in the IC as a provider of intelligence analysis
and cyber security. They provide meaningful and essential support, which
includes security testing of classified networks, policy development, and
program management support. 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.
