What We Do
Cyber Security
As threats grow in breadth and sophistication, the old defense in-depth approach often generates unclear priorities, drains resources and leaves gaps in protection. At MountChor Technologies, we help customers migrate to a defense in-context strategy. We bring transformative cyber expertise and mission-enabled solutions to the forefront of operations.
Our security solutions predict attacks, proactively respond to threats, ensure compliance and protect data, applications, infrastructure and endpoints.

SCIF:
There are various construction methods of achieving the proper protective measures required and the various methods can have a substantial cost impact on the project. It is most beneficial in terms of both time and money to ensure that the designer of a SCIF has substantial experience with the different potential requirement scenarios and that the contractor building the facility has had enough experience to avoid common assumptions that standard commercial contractors, without a lot of SCIF experience, would typically make.
