Defense-in-Depth Cybersecurity for Federal Missions
Cherokee Federal provides enterprise-level Cybersecurity and Zero Trust Architecture solutions that safeguard networks, data, and mission systems from advanced and persistent threats. We help government agencies build defense-in-depth strategies that protect sensitive information and sustain operational readiness in an environment of continuously evolving cyber risks.
We implement Zero Trust frameworks that verify every connection, strengthen identity and access controls, and ensure continuous protection across hybrid and classified environments. Our experts at Criterion Systems, a Cherokee Federal company, operate one of the most mature cybersecurity Centers of Excellence in the federal space — supporting both proactive defense and incident response operations for civilian and defense agencies alike.
From compliance alignment and program development through 24/7 threat monitoring and active incident response, Cherokee Federal brings the depth, clearances, and operational experience to protect what matters most. Every solution is built around the principle that trust must be earned continuously — not assumed at the perimeter.
