Netizen Corp. gets Army contract totaling up to $9.2M

The U.S. Army has awarded Allentown-based Netizen Corp. a multiple-year contract with a total value of up to $9.2 million, according to company officials.

The contract calls for Netizen, a highly specialized cybersecurity solutions provider, to deliver a variety of cybersecurity solutions in support of the Project Manager Soldier Training (PM ST) in Orlando, Fla. The training program is an effort to assure troops and their leaders maintain constant military readiness. Michael Hawkins, Netizen founder and chief executive officer, said the contract is key, and that plans are in place to expand the corporation’s presence in Orlando.

“Netizen is renowned for our unique level of specialization, as our team members are amongst the most highly experienced cyber professionals anywhere, and our products and solutions are trusted by customers worldwide,” Hawkins said. “We look forward to continuing our work with this key customer for years to come by providing PM ST with the best possible value and expertise.”

Officials anticipate that the corporation will undergo expansion in Orlando as a result of this contract and the presence of Netizen Academy, an education program designed to provide further training to college graduates who are looking to be successful as cyber professionals. Cybersecurity, according to company officials, is a rapidly growing career field.

A veteran-owned organization, Netizen is America’s fastest growing cybersecurity company. In addition to Allentown and Orlando, the company has locations in the D.C. Metro area and Charleston, S.C.
