Deltek Picks Up Twin Honors from Northern Virginia Tech Council, Boosting Its Local Profile in Security and Software

Deltek wins a rare double uplift from NVTC

Deltek has been named to two of the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s high-profile lists for 2025: the Tech100 and the Cyber50. The company’s announcement framed the pair of honors as a clear signal that Deltek’s work in software for project-driven organizations and its emphasis on cybersecurity are both being noticed in the region.

The recognition is a straightforward, public boost: a Tech100 nod highlights Deltek among the area’s leading technology employers and firms, while a Cyber50 placement calls out its role in protecting customer data and systems. Deltek presented the news as a point of pride for its local teams and as an endorsement of steady work on security and product quality.

What Deltek does and why it sits in Northern Virginia’s tech mix

Deltek builds software that helps organizations manage projects, from planning to billing. Its customers tend to be companies and agencies that run complex, contract‑driven work — think engineering firms, consultants and government contractors. The software is aimed at making projects easier to track and run on time and on budget.

Though Deltek operates nationally and serves clients around the world, it has deep roots in the Herndon and Greater Northern Virginia area. That region is known for a dense cluster of tech, defense and government contracting companies. For Deltek, being local matters: it connects the company to customers with strict security needs and to a pool of workers who know the public sector and project-based workflows.

Why both the Tech100 and Cyber50 awards matter

The NVTC Tech100 list is a broad pick of technology companies that stand out in Northern Virginia for things like growth, influence and community presence. The Cyber50 list focuses specifically on firms and teams that are notable in cybersecurity — either because of the products they build, the defenses they run, or the way they support customers in handling cyber risk.

Winning a spot on both lists signals that a firm is seen as both an important technology employer and a credible security player. NVTC’s process typically looks at innovation, regional impact and, for cyber winners, evidence of effective security practices or services. The awards are regionally focused: they shine a light on who matters in the Northern Virginia ecosystem rather than on national rankings.

Company remarks and the public record on the announcement

Deltek framed the honors in a company statement as recognition of its teams and work on secure products for project-based customers. The release emphasized the company’s ongoing focus on protecting customer data and on supporting projects that often involve government and regulated industries. NVTC also congratulated winners this year, noting the lists highlight local strength in tech and cyber talent.

Beyond the company statement, this appears to be a self-reported announcement; there were no extended external reactions quoted in the release. Still, the dual listing is the kind of recognition local leaders and hiring managers often point to when describing reputable employers in the region.

Practical effects for employees, customers and the local tech scene

The awards matter most at the people and partnership level. For current and prospective employees, a Tech100 mention helps with visibility during hiring: it says Deltek is among the recognized tech employers in the region. For customers, a Cyber50 spot is a shorthand signal that security is a visible priority, which can matter when contracts involve sensitive data.

Regionally, the double recognition contributes to Northern Virginia’s story as a cluster where software and cybersecurity overlap. That can lead to more networking, more talent moving between firms, and more opportunities for local vendors and systems integrators to work together.

How NVTC compiles its lists — and what to watch next

NVTC assembles its Tech100 and Cyber50 lists annually to spotlight local companies and leaders. The selections usually reflect a mix of innovation, community presence and market or security work that affects the region.

Follow-up stories to expect: whether Deltek announces new product moves tied to security, posts hiring growth in Northern Virginia, or takes part in upcoming NVTC events where the company might speak or present case studies. Those next steps will show whether the honors turn into lasting momentum for the firm in the local ecosystem.
