Booz Allen Invests in Corsha to Safeguard U.S. Critical Infrastructure

via Business Wire

Strengthening American cybersecurity resilience within the defense manufacturing base and beyond

Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) today announced that its corporate venture capital arm, Booz Allen Ventures, has made a strategic investment in Corsha, the first and only Machine Identity Provider (mIDP) built to secure communication across operational systems and critical infrastructure. This investment will accelerate the use of advanced technology solutions to reinforce U.S. defenses against increasingly sophisticated and frequent cyberattacks.

Operating in demanding environments and working with key partners such as the U.S. Air Force, Corsha uses multi-factor authentication to secure machine-to-machine communication and proactively defend against emerging cyber threats. Corsha leverages advanced behavioral analytics to detect unusual patterns and spot potential threats, blocking adversaries’ access to American operational technology (OT), including within domestic defense manufacturing and other U.S. critical infrastructure.

“The physical world is increasingly hyperconnected and software defined, leaving military installations, civilian critical infrastructure, and other hubs of economic and national security at risk of cyber disruption,” said David Forbes, director of cyber-physical defense at Booz Allen. “Addressing identity verification challenges is a critical step towards creating more resilient systems. We invested in Corsha because we believe their technology can solve the identity problem and because we expect securing the physical world to be a significant growth vector in the cyber market.”

This investment reinforces Booz Allen’s commitment to innovation as the leading provider of AI and cybersecurity to the federal government.

“Our patented identity technology is instrumental in bringing zero trust to our nation’s critical infrastructure, preventing malicious activity at its onset and safeguarding national security,” said Anusha Iyer, CEO at Corsha. “Cyberattacks targeting our nation and critical operational systems are ever more frequent and advanced. With the support of Booz Allen, we are addressing the toughest cybersecurity challenges to enable faster, safer U.S. operations and advancement.”

Booz Allen will work with Corsha to expand the portfolio company’s research and development lab, scale its AI and machine learning capabilities, and support the advancement of Corsha’s operations in critical manufacturing environments to deliver mission outcomes.

"Corsha stands out for its technical depth, mission focus, and elegant solution to a growing problem in operational cybersecurity," said Chris Woods, investor at Booz Allen Ventures. "We are excited to tap into Corsha’s broad application in the non-human identity space and it’s clear that Booz Allen believes the company is well-positioned to become foundational security infrastructure for next-generation mission systems."

Since its launch, Booz Allen’s $100 million corporate venture capital arm has made strategic investments in early-stage companies developing dual-use commercial technologies. Corsha marks its 16th Ventures investment, with a diversified portfolio that includes Albedo, ConductorAI, Credo AI, HiddenLayer, Hidden Level, Latent AI, Quindar, RAIC Labs (formerly Synthetaic), Reality Defender, Reveal Technology, Scout AI, Second Front (2F), SEEQC, Shift5, and Starfish Space.
