U.S. Critical Infrastructure Reinforcement Backed by Booz Allen Financial Support
Booz Allen, a leading technology and consulting firm, has announced its partnership with Corsha, a Machine Identity Provider (mIDP) specialising in securing communication for operational systems and critical infrastructure.
David Forbes, the director of cyber-physical defence at Booz Allen, highlighted the importance of Corsha's patented identity technology in safeguarding national security. Forbes emphasised that Corsha's technology is designed to prevent malicious activity, particularly in the face of increasing cyberattacks on critical operational systems in the U.S.
Anusha Iyer, CEO at Corsha, expressed her excitement about the broad application of Corsha in the non-human identity space. Iyer highlighted the company's technical depth, mission focus, and elegant solution to operational cybersecurity problems.
Booz Allen plans to support operations in critical manufacturing environments with Corsha. The firm's $100 million corporate venture capital arm made 16 strategic investments, with Corsha being one of them. Booz Allen aims to improve AI and machine learning capabilities with Corsha, and to collaborate with the company to expand its research and development lab.
Corsha's technology utilises multi-factor authentication for machine-to-machine communication. It also employs advanced behavioral analytics to identify and block potential threats. The company works with partners such as the U.S. Air Force.
Chris Woods, an investor at Booz Allen Ventures, believes that Corsha is well-positioned to become foundational security infrastructure for next-generation mission systems. Corsha is an addition to a portfolio that includes companies like Albedo, ConductorAI, and Reality Defender.
Booz Allen's support aims to help Corsha address the toughest cybersecurity challenges and enable faster, safer U.S. operations. The details of the CEO of Corsha mentioned in the article were not provided in the search results.
