UNITED STATES OF AMERICA —American government technology contractor Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) has completed the acquisition of Information Security Corporation (ISC). While specific transaction terms were not publicly disclosed, the corporate deal saw KPMG advise SAIC and TideLock Partners serve as financial advisor to ISC. The acquisition integrates ISC's specialized public key infrastructure (PKI), credential management, and automated encryption product suite into SAIC's broader national security portfolio.
Science Applications International Corp. is a NASDAQ-listed technology integrator providing engineering, digital transformation, and defense systems services to the US military, intelligence community, and civilian government agencies. Information Security Corporation is a specialized software firm headquartered in the United States that develops cryptographic solutions, data protection tools, and PKI software for government and commercial enterprise applications.
The acquisition centers on ISC's specialized cryptographic software, including its CertAgent product, which maintains a long-standing placement on the National Security Agency's Commercial Solutions for Classified components list. These tools provide automated crypto-agility and quantum-resistant encryption capabilities designed to safeguard sensitive communications and data environments. The acquisition enhances SAIC's capability to deliver zero-trust architecture and modernized cryptographic security across classified government networks.
This strategic integration underscores increasing demand within federal IT procurement for advanced cybersecurity tools capable of defending against emerging threat vectors and preparing for post-quantum computing standards. For defense agencies, intelligence operators, and government IT contractors, incorporating automated PKI management and NSA-certified encryption components strengthens data resilience across multi-domain defense networks while streamlining zero-trust security deployment.
