Cyber Resilience for Mission Success
As cyber threats grow in sophistication and frequency, government agencies must ensure their digital environments are secure, compliant, and resilient. Cybersecurity is no longer just about protecting networks, it is about securing national security interests, critical infrastructure, and the integrity of digital operations. OST delivers end-to-end cybersecurity solutions that embed protection into every phase of IT strategy and modernization, ensuring proactive risk mitigation, compliance, and operational continuity.
Unlike reactive approaches that apply security after deployment, OST integrates cybersecurity from the beginning through SecDevOps engineering principles, Zero Trust methodologies, AI-driven threat detection, our proven seven-step risk management framework, and our emphasis on security culture, behavior, and training programs. Our cybersecurity solutions reduce vulnerabilities, streamline compliance, accelerate the Authority to Operate (ATO) process, and help manage third-party cybersecurity risks, while fortifying agencies against evolving cyber threats and increasing mission resilience.
OST’s seven step process that ensures better outcomes:
(1) Determine Risk Sources and Categories
(2) Define Risk Parameters
(3) Establish a Risk Management Strategy
(4) Identify Risks
(5) Evaluate, Categorize, and Prioritize Risks
(6) Develop Risk Mitigation Plans
(7) Implement Risk Mitigation Plans

CASE STUDY:
Cyber Support for Strategic Warning & Surveillance Systems
Challenge
At the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex, continuous, RMF-compliant cybersecurity operations are mission-critical across both operational and test environments. The challenge lies in maintaining constant vigilance: applying critical software patches and malware defenses, responding swiftly to Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts (IAVAs), and aligning with Time Compliance Network Orders (TCNOs). Equally vital is the rigorous enforcement of configuration management, routine execution of vulnerability scans guided by DISA STIGs, and the development of timely, effective mitigations for high-risk system exposures all while ensuring seamless mission support in a zero-fail environment.
Solution
OST delivered an integrated, proactive cybersecurity solution leveraging deep expertise in RMF compliance and DoD cybersecurity policy, ensuring operational continuity and robust security across all systems. Through disciplined configuration management, secure patching processes, and automated risk assessments, NORAD maintained a resilient security posture, enabling the command to focus on its core mission with confidence.
Outcome
The systems remain fully mission-capable, secure, and resilient day in and day out. OST’s efforts directly enhanced national defense readiness by reducing cyber risk, strengthening system integrity, and ensuring compliance across a complex, high-security environment. Every vulnerability closed, every patch applied, and every scan executed contributed to uninterrupted operational assurance. The result: faster threat response, fewer system disruptions, and unwavering confidence in the digital backbone of cyber defense.
