After major security operations achieve a satisfactory level of success in degrading the force projection capabilities of opposing forces, one generally sees a lull in the operational tempo. This lull can engender a false sense of security and be used by criminal elements to reorganize, rearm and regroup.

Most of our operators and staff have served on the frontlines in the War on Terror. We have seen firsthand the pernicious and detrimental effects of terrorism on local economies, development and the social fabric of nations. The expanding nexus between organized crime and terror, the increased use of cyber warfare, that are equally devastating to financial systems and infrastructure has added multiple fronts and increased the vulnerabilities of nations & corporations. Recent world events have also shown us that vested foreign and/or domestic interests can also interfere with the governance processes of nation states. Hence, it is our bold vision to make significant inroads in the Cyber-warfare domains so that we can further boost our already world class kinetic capabilities.

• TECH SERVICES TO PROTECT AGAINST CYBER-TERRORISM
