Federal Data Systems has purchased two Maryland-based counterintelligence and intelligence business units from public sector services contractor Intelligent Decisions for an undisclosed sum in an effort to expand threat insider and critical infrastructure support services for commercial and government organizations.
œThis acquisition launches our platform of companies and extends FedData™s reach into the private sector and the intelligence community, Jamie Benoit, FedData president, said Tuesday.
Arlington, Virginia-based FedData provides incident response, data security, storage area networks, automated data replication software and hardware and other IT platforms and services for government and commercial markets.
