Enterprise Cybersecurity for Federal Missions

Cherokee Federal provides enterprise-level cybersecurity and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) solutions that safeguard networks, data and mission systems from advanced and persistent threats. In increasingly complex cyber environments, we help agencies strengthen defense-in-depth strategies that protect sensitive information and maintain operational continuity.

We implement Zero Trust frameworks that verify every connection, strengthen identity and access controls, and ensure continuous protection across hybrid and classified environments. Our cybersecurity teams support proactive defense, compliance management and real-time threat response across civilian and defense agencies operating in high-risk environments.

Through Criterion Systems, a Cherokee Federal company, agencies gain access to one of the most mature cybersecurity Centers of Excellence (CoEs) in the federal market. Our teams combine operational experience, advanced analytics and mission-focused execution to help agencies modernize security operations while maintaining visibility, compliance and enterprise resilience.

As federal Zero Trust mandates and cybersecurity requirements continue to evolve, Cherokee Federal helps agencies operationalize security architectures aligned with NIST guidance, continuous monitoring requirements and long-term mission objectives.
