Irish professional-services provider Accenture, which has Hartford offices, says its purchase of a Virginia cybersecurity provider positions Accenture to expand its cyber-defense services to the U.S. government.
Dublin-based Accenture said Friday it has completed its purchase of Alexandria, Va.-based Defense Point Security. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
Accenture says DPS will serve as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Accenture Federal Services.
DPS will provide a cybersecurity operations center, as well as cyber operations, security engineering and cyber analytics support services.
First announced in October, Accenture sought to acquire the company in an effort to provide end-to-end federal enterprise security services, including cyber defense and incident response, security integration and cyber analytics.
