Peraton: Some Notes
August 16, 2021
Peraton received another juicy Federal contract. “Peraton Wins Nearly $1B DOD Contract” reports:
Herndon-based Peraton Inc., a national security contractor, won a nearly $1 billion task order to provide the U.S. Department of Defense’s U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) and its mission partners with operational planning, implementation and assessment services (OPIAS). USCENTCOM directs military operations with allies in the Middle East.
Peraton is, to some degree, the Harris Corp’s government unit. Backed by Veritas Capital, the contract winner is an example of the shift taking place in cyber intelligence.
The company is active in a number of government centric sectors; for example, digital forensics, cyber crime, and mission operations and analysis.
What work will Peraton perform? I don’t know and it is highly unlikely that the company will follow NSO Group’s method for generating publicity. I mention this Israeli firm’s misstep because it is continuing to send shockwaves through the intelware sector.
