What is the best contracting method to acquire your services?
– Please contact us to discuss your specific needs so that we can advise you on the best solution.
What is a “FTRA”?
– This stands for “Functional Threat and Risk Assessment.” It is a fact-based product that uses clear language to describe the factors that will influence decisions, activities and lives. There are other, older variations, such as the “HTRA” that fail to provide the same results. Ask us why!
What is Cyber Threat Intelligence?
– CTI as it is abbreviated is the Intelligence component of the cyber domain. Analysts require specific technical knowledge as well as training and experience in order to be competent. You will sometimes here people say that they “took a course” with an online provider. We are familiar with the offerings available to Five Eyes and NATO countries and can say that none of these are sufficient for OCO, DCO or CMA needs. Ask us why!
What if I don’t have a clearance anymore?
