Rapid Cyber Development
We support offensive and defensive cyberspace operations with leading edge technical innovations, mission planning and automation solutions, cyber threat intelligence, and advanced cyber threat hunting and incident response. We have deployed quick reaction capability (QRC) efforts and tools, architected and integrated frameworks and capabilities, and performed vulnerability research to identify potential exploitable conditions and develop mitigations for a wide range of platforms. Our decades of experience, and comprehensive, converged offering of technologies and tools in cyber and intelligence expose and enable system and network vulnerabilities to anticipate and neutralize threats across the multi-domain battlespace.
Offensive Cyberspace Operations
Our cyber warfare solutions are designed and developed to support the full spectrum of cyber operations, readiness, and capability development. Our active and passive reconnaissance capabilities facilitate data collection, network enumeration, and device characterization, and provide the opportunity to identify target systems before they become a viable threat.
Defensive Cyberspace Operations
Our advanced defensive cyberspace capabilities identify cyber threats, reduce vulnerabilities, and enhance internal and external cyber defenses for Government and commercial clients. The cyber defense services we provide enable clients to increase the speed in which they identify, attribute, and respond to increasingly complex cyber threats.
From large-scale cybersecurity programs to immediate deployment and rapid assistance, our proven security methods reflect our customer-first approach, innovative mindset, and effective execution.
Built In Speed And Agility
As we’ve evolved, we’ve developed a reputation for unmatched speed and scalability while supporting more than 50 deployed operational products worldwide. We welcome the challenge of large and complex assignments because we know we have the agility to provide fast, tailored solutions that are immediately mission ready.
Recognizing the dynamic nature of cyber operations, we’ve merged our offensive and defensive cyber engineers to create a holistic, full-spectrum operational approach to provide our customers significant growth opportunities, cost savings, and capability developments.
Domain Freedom
We operate in every facet of the multidomain battlespace and address emerging threats by fusing technologies across the now-connected warfighting domains (land, air, maritime, space, cyber) and incorporating information operations, intelligence, data analytics, EW, multi-echelon C2, and kinetic operations.
This holistic, scalable common operating picture puts actionable information quickly into the hands of the operator. And we do so while providing integrated security—physical, cyber, communications, and intelligence protection—at unprecedented levels.
Our reverse engineers and vulnerability researchers have state of the art experience in breaking out algorithms and finding and developing exploits against desktop, mobile, embedded systems and devices, and enterprise systems. Our team develops target-specific analysis and approaches to provide a thorough assessment of potential vulnerabilities, exploits, and mitigations. We specialize in extracting, implementing, and working around custom encryption, encoding, and protocol schemes.
Combining our extensive expertise in signals exploitation, reverse engineering, and CNO development, our team creates end-to-end RF-enabled cyber solutions tailored to high value targets and operations. These complex capabilities are complete solutions for everything from individual cyber effects on RF-enabled devices, to effects on back-end networks using tailored cyber capabilities, specifically designed for high-latency communications over injected signals.
Our cyber enterprise developers combine enterprise and cyber expertise to automate access to targets—allowing operators to focus on their primary mission. Our engineers utilize User Centric Design to work closely with the system users and provide a system that allows users to be on-the-loop instead of in-the-loop.
Our CNO developers have extensive capabilities developing, testing, and deploying CNO Toolsets for operational readiness. We work alongside operators to ensure features are tailored to their mission requirements and preferences.
Our experience developing applications for Big Data Platforms (BDPs) positions us as an emerging authority in the field of cloud-based capabilities. Our solutions have been deployed into multiple BDP and tactical edge environments, making us an ideal choice for customers looking for the versatility to operate in multiple mission domain scenarios.
Tailored End-to-End Solutions
Our cyber development team provides end-to-end solutions: from access to command-and-control integration, we ensure that the solution provides value to your mission. Our team leverages isolated development and test environments to ensure limited access to solutions prior to deployment. Our experience comes from a diverse background of engineering expertise leading to solutions with polished user experiences and well-designed, secure baselines.
Our engineers leverage leading-edge techniques to develop:
- Command and Control Systems
- Secure Communications Mechanisms
- CNO Tools
- Reverse Engineering Tools
- Digital Force Protection Devices

Virtual Operations In Cyberspace
We have officially entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution in which data is everywhere and where individuals, organizations, and populations live and operate in a fully digital-centric world. The entire lifecycle of an operation — from idea inception to completion — can occur completely in a virtual environment with no physical elements involved in the process and only disparate data available to understand, safeguard, or exploit. This creates a challenge for the National Security Community as it grapples with transitioning cyberspace activities beyond traditional perspectives to fully-integrated intelligence and military operations in and through cyberspace.
