What Cyber Defense United Delivers
Cyber Defense United brings together two things mission environments struggle to unify:
the Cyber Reasoning Platform (Watchtower CRP) and
experienced defenders who can triage, investigate, and respond.
We support DoD/DIB programs as a mission-aligned cyber defense partner — focusing on
continuous monitoring, operational discipline, and defensible evidence.
We typically support as a subcontractor to primes or as a specialty cyber services provider under existing
contract vehicles.
Mission Cyber Defense Operations (DCO / Continuous Monitoring)
Ongoing monitoring, triage, investigation, and incident response support — built for high-consequence
environments where you must prove what happened and what you did about it.
- Mission-aligned coverage models (business-hours, hybrid, or 24/7)
- Case-based investigations with timelines, artifacts, and decision logs
- IR support: containment guidance, recovery support, after-action reporting (AAR)
Watchtower CRP as the Reasoning Core
Watchtower CRP acts as the operational brain that unifies alerts, context, and evidence across tools
— so decisions are faster, clearer, and easier to defend.
- Unified investigations across SIEM/EDR/identity/network sources
- Evidence packs: incident chronology → artifacts → assessment → actions taken
- Standardized playbooks and reporting aligned to mission needs
On-Prem Integration & Tool Rationalization
We deploy and integrate in the environments you actually have: on-prem, restricted, or disconnected.
We align your tool stack to operations and reduce chaos — not add more dashboards.
- SIEM/EDR/log pipeline integrations and tuning
- Disconnected operations patterns and continuity planning
- Modernization plans grounded in battle rhythm and reporting
How We Engage
Cyber Defense United is structured to plug into existing program delivery models — including prime-led programs
and mission environments with strict enclave constraints.
Subcontract Support to Primes
A specialized cyber defense team embedded under prime leadership, aligned to program cadence, governance,
and mission reporting.
- Mission DCO support (continuous monitoring, triage, investigations)
- Engineering integration + tool onboarding for restricted environments
- Evidence-ready deliverables for program oversight
Surge Support (Exercises / Incidents)
Rapid augmentation for high-tempo periods — incident response surges, exercises, migrations, or tool cutovers
where you need experienced hands.
- Rapid scoping + containment planning
- Decision support and leadership briefs
- After-action reporting with corrective actions
Integration + Operations Design
Build the operating model: tiering, handoffs, escalation paths, battle rhythm, and measurable reporting —
tied directly to the way your mission teams execute.
- Workflow + RACI + reporting cadence
- Tool tuning to reduce noise and improve fidelity
- Repeatable evidence capture as a byproduct of operations
Data handling and deployment posture:
Built for mission environments that require CUI-aligned controls and restricted data movement.
Designed for on-prem, restricted, and disconnected enclaves with
governance and auditability.
A&A / Continuous Monitoring Enablement, Automation, and AI Integration
Many continuous monitoring initiatives fail when they become paperwork exercises
We focus on what makes continuous monitoring real:
repeatable operations, traceable decisions, and evidence.
Cyber Defense United can be paired with automation and AI integration support so your program improves outcomes
while reducing manual burden — with governance and auditability.
Operational Continuous Monitoring Package
A packaged approach that combines Watchtower-led monitoring with supporting tooling to automate hardening,
checks, and evidence capture — built to support A&A realities and continuous monitoring expectations.
- Continuous monitoring workflows + reporting cadence
- Automated evidence generation aligned to operations (cases/timelines/artifacts/decision logs)
- Integration of supporting automation tools (per enclave constraints)
AI Integration Support (Human-in-the-Loop)
We integrate AI where it actually helps defenders: summarization, triage assistance, report drafting,
and decision support — with operator control and auditable outputs.
- Assist-driven summaries and “next-step” suggestions
- Briefing acceleration for leadership and auditors
- Governance patterns: logging, review gates, and traceability
DoD Contracting Support for IT & Cyber Programs
In addition to cyber defense operations, Cyber Defense United supports DoD IT and cyber programs across modernization,
operations design, engineering support, and mission-ready reporting. If you need a partner that can deliver both
operational execution and technical integration, we align to your program structure and constraints.
Common engagement patterns include subcontract support to primes, surge support for exercises, and integration support
for new tools coming online.
SOC / NSOC Modernization
Tiering models, escalation paths, shift design, battle rhythm, and reporting — aligned to your mission
and resourcing realities.
Engineering + Integration
Build the backbone: pipelines, integrations, tuning, and operational dashboards — with Watchtower as the
unifying workspace and evidence layer.
Compliance-Driven Operations
Evidence you can defend: incident chronologies, artifacts, decision logs, and repeatable workflows that support
continuous monitoring expectations and audit questions.

Let’s talk about your environment.
If you’re supporting a mission network, a defense program, or a DIB enterprise that needs measurable cyber defense
outcomes — we’ll start with a short technical conversation about your tools, constraints, and priorities,
then propose a clear operating approach.
