For our nations security, defense, and intelligence agencies, Jacobs is a leading provider of mission operations support, information technology systems, scientific engineering, cyber security, facility operations support, and building design.

Information technology is a critical enabler of security programs and facilities. Our solutions span virtually every form of modern software, data-processing and communications technology. We specialize in IP-based network engineering, cloud-based solutions, application development, enterprise voice communications, global video-teleconferencing solutions, service desk operations, and cyber security.

Attacks compromising the information systems and data security of both private and public organizations have increased alarmingly in recent years. Jacobs' cyber security experts apply a wide range of technologies, processes, and practices to protect data centers, networks, and computer systems from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. We are adept at working with traditional security architectures as well as meeting the challenges posed by virtualized and cloud-computing environments. Jacobs' experts develop and apply identity management and access control systems; enable cross-domain solutions; perform vulnerability analysis and penetration testing; and certify and accredit the security strength of systems. In addition, unlike most cyber security providers, we also tune systems for best performance.

Jacobs has extensive mission operations experience including all source analysis, war gaming, mission planning, modeling and simulation, and acquisition and logistics. Our buildings design expertise includes state-of-the-art data centers, mission critical infrastructure, military, intelligence, aviation, and civilian public sector facility projects. Our building services range from master planning to design to construction management.

Jacobs also operates and maintains a wide range of secure facilities including administrative, laboratory, wind tunnel, testing, research, and advanced manufacturing. We strive to reduce operational costs through condition-based maintenance principles, and we leverage the power of data analytics to optimize technology utilization and workforce alignment.

To ensure bias-free support to our clients, we require no firewalls or other corporate structures when selecting systems and hardware, and thus avoid traditional organizational conflicts of interest (OCI). Our freedom from OCI also allows us to serve in sensitive roles supporting our clients mission, providing independent and objective assessments of hardware, systems, and alternative approaches.

At Jacobs, we take pride in the trusted relationships we form with our customers, strive to maintain our technological and operational expertise, and follow through on our commitment to innovation and the transfer of best practices.
