Your people are the target.
We make them the defense.
Foreign intelligence services don't hack firewalls—they hack people. Our counterintelligence and elicitation defense training protects the executives, cleared personnel, and key leaders that adversaries are actively trying to exploit.
Why your organization is already being targeted
The Human Vector
Over 80% of intelligence collection against U.S. defense and commercial interests occurs through human interaction—not cyber intrusion. Your executives and cleared personnel are approached at conferences, through LinkedIn, during international travel, and in everyday social settings. Most never realize it's happening.
Who Gets Targeted
Anyone with access to items of intelligence interest: classified programs, controlled unclassified information, proprietary technologies, strategic business plans, government contract details, or relationships with decision-makers. If your organization holds a facility clearance or U.S. defense contracts, your people are already on someone's target list.
