Peraton achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification compliance in 2026 under Tom Terjesen’s leadership, reaching a milestone the company had pursued for years. Each merger and acquisition made Peraton’s technology environment more complex, so Terjesen credits his team with establishing a consistent approach to protecting and monitoring it.
Along with supporting the internal infrastructure and cybersecurity of the company, Terjesen and his team also support customers through a Mission Services organization. This team provides cloud capabilities, on-premises solutions and IT support for Peraton’s classified program. This support provides customers with the mission-critical services they need, Terjesen said.
Why Watch
In 2026, Terjesen and his team will be utilizing AI to make the organization more effective, and they will leverage an agentic AI platform that has ties to Peraton’s enterprise applications to make it easier for employees to handle day-to-day activities and find information across various platforms.
They are also exploring capabilities to help Peraton deliver system patches and upgrades in a timelier fashion, hardening the cybersecurity posture, and working to get the Peraton[x] platform in the hands of users to provide them with superhuman capabilities.
“To successfully transform digitally, we must constantly evolve our IT capabilities,” Terjesen said. “Our ongoing infrastructure investments are focused on delivering high-value services to our customers and supporting our organization’s long-term growth.”
