Catalyst Partners Offers New Homeland Security Technologies
Assessment Practice

Washington, DC – Catalyst Partners, a Washington, D.C.-based government
relations and public affairs firm, today announces a Homeland Security Technologies Assessment practice to help homeland security companies bring
innovative technologies to the public arena. The practice, led by Dr. David A. McWhorter, will help companies large and small
identify the right place within homeland security to present their security
solutions.

“The Technologies Assessment practice allows Catalyst to
cater specifically to the companies creating technological innovations that
strengthen our nation’s defenses,” said McWhorter, a principal of Catalyst Partners
and expert on antiterrorism technologies. “The impact of technology on homeland
security has never been greater, and Catalyst’s expanded practice will help clients
best advance their important products and services.”

The practice assists clients in determining the most appropriate
federal, state and local government groups to approach. Most U.S. critical
infrastructure is privately owned, and through the Technologies Assessment practice,
Catalyst will assist clients in evaluating and penetrating the private sector
as well. The practice also compliments Catalyst’s other core competencies, such
as their DHS SAFETY Act practice.

“Catalyst was one of the first
homeland security consulting firms,” said David Olive, principal and founder of
Catalyst. “The dedicated Technologies Assessment practice allows us to offer
clients yet another means to support and strengthen their homeland security
offerings.”
