Government Solutions (“SilverEdge”) today announced it has partnered
with Counter Threat Solutions, LLC (“CTS”), a leading provider of all
source and counterintelligence analysis, identity intelligence, and
enterprise IT and data management solutions, which include sophisticated
software development and engineering and niche ServiceNow capabilities. The partnership furthers SilverEdge’s objective of serving as the
cyber, software, intelligence, and technology solutions provider of
choice for the U.S. Intelligence Community (“IC”).
“We are excited to welcome the CTS team to the SilverEdge family,” said Robert Miller, CEO of SilverEdge. “By
combining CTS’ capabilities with SilverEdge’s existing cybersecurity,
software, and intelligence solutions, we are increasing our cleared
workforce to approximately 450 engineers and technical staff whose
primary focus is to provide our intelligence customers with the tools
required to support critical mission needs.”
Founded in 2015 and based in Reston, Virginia, CTS provides technology
solutions and related services to key U.S. intelligence agencies. Led by
CEO Theresa Keith, a U.S. Army intelligence veteran with more than 20
years of experience in the IC, CTS employs more than 100 technical and
mission support specialists, nearly 100% of whom hold high-level
security clearances. The company will continue to operate with its
current leadership under the SilverEdge platform.
Theresa Keith said, “We are thrilled to be joining SilverEdge, whose
tremendous resources, qualified team, and extensive capabilities will
enable us to continue to grow our business rapidly and provide
additional opportunities for our people. Our team looks forward to
working together as part of SilverEdge, contributing our specialized
expertise to expand our shared capabilities, and growing our talent pool
to serve national security interests and our IC customers.”
Douglas T. Lake Jr., Founder & Managing Partner at Godspeed, remarked, “The
addition of CTS to SilverEdge’s comprehensive suite of offerings
further enhances the growth potential of the platform as it continues to
scale into the leading technology and cybersecurity solutions provider
for critical U.S. Intelligence agencies and select mission-oriented
Department of Defense customers.”
Nathaniel Fogg, Partner at Godspeed, added, “Following SilverEdge’s
recent acquisition of QVine, bringing CTS on board alongside will help
to further bolster our commitment to the Intelligence Community. We
