As a Founding Partner in the Five Eyes Group, I have been privileged to work closely with EPM on offerings that enhance the national security of the US and its closest allies. EPM Discreet is positioned as a provider of commercial marketing and technical engineering services focused on addressing capability gaps in the Information Environment for Federal Law Enforcement, National Security agencies, and allied coalition efforts.
With financial backing of a Berkshire Hathaway portfolio company, EPM Discreet markets its capacity to scale across a range of mission requirements, from tailored technical concepts to enterprise-level initiatives with a cost-effective approach that meets the demands of a resource-constrained public sector.
Five Eyes Group has evaluated EPM Discreet for potential engagements where technical innovation, strategic planning, and public-sector alignment that enhances the national security interests of the US and its allies are under consideration.
