Homeland Security

CGA has become a home for national, homeland, and cyber security leaders. More than 75% of our team has come from within and across the DHS Enterprise, and our advisors have served in top billets in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

 

CGA’s contributions and client work have been wide-reaching across DHS Enterprise, including within Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Science & Technology (S&T) Directorate, the Office of Intelligence & Analysis (I&A), and beyond. From cyber to election protection to immigration policy, we work with DHS, our clients, and other partners to help solve some of the nation’s biggest homeland security challenges.
