What we do matters. Our technical expertise, consultative approach to business optimization, and passion for delivery excellence ensure continuous readiness and bring high-impact solutions to the organizations we serve.
Zero Trust by 2027
Agencies within the Department of Defense have to deploy a zero trust architecture by 2027. Even with departmental guidelines around the seven pillars of the directive, compliance will require the right approach. Our experts, Kynan Carver and Harsha Rao, describe the path forward to achieve zero trust and enhanced cybersecurity.
The federal executive order on cybersecurity
What it means to DHS and DoD: The federal government’s executive order on cybersecurity has generated a lot of activity among agencies. Bruce Matthews and Kynan Carver, cybersecurity executives at Maximus and experts in threat intelligence and security technology, spoke on the Government Huddle podcast about progress made since the order’s release, what still must be accomplished at the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense, and what to expect in 2023.
Older systems contain the greatest cyber vulnerabilities
Older technology in the Department of Defense is more susceptible to cyberattacks. Kynan Carver, DoD cybersecurity lead, discusses the implications of this “technical debt” and how IT modernization presents opportunities to pay it down.

Success story: Supporting Defense Health Agency (DHA)’s Solution Delivery Division
Recognizing our capabilities in accelerating digital transformation, modernizing IT systems and applying a foundation rooted in our deep knowledge of agency missions and operations, the Web and Mobile Technology (WMT) Program Management Office partnered with Maximus to design and develop the Deployment Readiness Education for Servicewomen (DRES) web application. This interactive, progressive web application (PWA) provides an installable version of the handbook with an extensive amount of easy to access, valuable information for servicewomen during their deployment even in areas of low or no connectivity.

Supporting the Army’s Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) migration
When the U.S. Army gets the order to move, it takes with it the power of the Army Materiel Command (AMC) and its capacity for supporting units with everything they need for the mission. Its core logistics system had grown to accommodate 23,000 users and over nine million transactions daily, and as AMC looked ahead, it realized a cloud solution would improve the security and capability of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

Aiding the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to fend off cyber-attacks
Maximus constructed a cyber cell to prevent threats and ensure risk and compliance across the agency build the cell in 45 days. Within a week of partnering with DISA, Maximus recruited individuals with deep experience on government cyber teams who could immediately jump into the project to help secure the network. Today, half the team investigates threats to the network, while the other half works on compliance and supply-chain risk management for the DISA organization. The team also scans new software and devices for compliance and ensures that hardware is up-to-date based on industry best practices.
