Threat mitigation
The creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) following the terrorist attacks of 9/11 laid the cornerstone for a robust homeland protection market. This market continues to grow as new and evolving threats to our nation emerge. These threats span our national infrastructure—from our commercial industrial base to the intricate cyber realm. In addition, the United States has increased its need for federal, state, and local agencies to counter or mitigate future threats or security incidents through vulnerability assessments, risk analyses, and emergency preparedness and response planning, training, and other related requirements.
As scientific, engineering, and project management innovation leaders, Parsons’ core competencies stem from our long history of first-of-a-kind, one-of-a-kind national security projects, providing and operating complex facilities and systems for safely handling nuclear and other highly hazardous materials. Parsons employs the right people with the right technical experience and the right security clearance.
Parsons focuses on the expanding markets’ needs of national intelligence, homeland protection, and preparedness and response—all requiring 21st century technologies to create comprehensive security solutions. Our core competencies include the systems engineering of scientific and technical solutions to complex homeland protection challenges, incident management, strategic programmatic/project planning, and intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination. Parsons’ history of providing and safely operating complex facilities and programs to destroy weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) such as deadly nerve toxins or international stockpiles of munitions provides us with the unique perspective of having the hands-on knowledge of the technical and security issues vital to homeland defense.
