Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Watchtower
The defense supply chain is vulnerable to software supply chain attacks. This platform checks software entering the DoD environment at the point of intake, decomposing binaries to find "nested dependencies" (like Log4j) and holding packages that break your supplier and provenance policies for a decision, helping protect the integrity of mission systems. Binary analysis cannot identify every component, and admission decisions remain with your designated approvers.

Zero Trust "Black Cloud" Overlay
Defense assets must be hidden from the public internet. This overlay network utilizes a Software Defined Perimeter so critical applications make only outbound connections and expose no inbound ports or public IP addresses, keeping them hidden from attackers on the transport network. Hiding an application does not fix vulnerabilities in it; patching and access policy remain with your organization.
