Mission Statement

Securing the world, one network at a time.

Vision and Philosophy

Information security is one of the foundations of business practices. That foundation needs maintenance over time, and we will help organizations to shore up that foundation to allow them to continue in their own missions. We understand that the best path for one is not the best path for everyone, and that sometimes decisions right in the moment have long-term consequences that must eventually be addressed. We are help them do so fairly and within their capabilities.

With that in mind, we pledge the following:

  • Honesty, professionalism, respect, and understanding of our clients and their industry, mission, capabilities, and goals. Use modern tactics and techniques to understand the client’s threat surface, maturity, and capability, and provide useful advice to reduce their risk levels and thereby make the whole world safer.

  • Honor, respect, and camaraderie for and with our colleagues to foster a collaborative environment and build employee skill and ability, while also encouraging a healthy work-life blend.

  • Strengthening both clients and colleagues through internal and cooperative research shared via papers, talks, demos, and outreach. Uphold honor, integrity, and image through respectful and professional interactions with clients, colleagues, and industry.

Equality and Stewardship
