ROME, N.Y. — Assured Information Security (AIS) announced it has been awarded an Engineering for Virtualized Enterprise and Remote Access Technology (EVEREST) $300 million Indefinitely Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

The pact is focused on enhancing secure access and information transfer across multiple security domains and the cloud. AIS says it will provide research, development, enhancement, sustainment, and training of innovative technologies directly supporting U.S. military operations.

EVEREST will address the growing need for advanced information security and secure data access within military and intelligence communities, the company said. Successful execution of the initiative will ensure rapid deployment of military forces, providing real-time information to achieve strategic objectives and maintain battle-space situational awareness.

“We’re honored and thrilled to have been selected for EVEREST, which reflects both our team’s unwavering commitment to the mission and our clients’ trust in our capabilities,” Adam Dailey, AIS director of trusted systems said in the announcement. “Our long-standing partnership with AFRL continues to enable delivery of next-generation solutions that ensure our U.S. military and intelligence agencies stay ahead of emerging threats.”

This contract, growing from a previous $95 million award to $300 million, reflects the company’s success in delivering next-generation solutions to address evolving security challenges. As the mission expands, AIS anticipates potential growth in jobs to support the efforts.
