COLUMBIA, Md., June 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synergy ECP, a provider of software engineering, cybersecurity and systems engineering services for the U.S. Intelligence Community and Department of Defense, today announced its acquisition of SPYROS Information & Technology Consulting, a cyber operations firm which specializes in solving the Nation’s most difficult problems across the cyber domain.
