Elite Cloud & AI Engineering for National Security & Defense

We are a lean team of cleared technologists delivering secure, scalable, and cloud-focused solutions to the nation’s most sensitive missions. We bring deep technical expertise, embedded leadership, and a Zero Trust mindset to every engagement.

Our Services

  • Cloud Architecture & Security

    We design and deploy resilient, scalable multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments across AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and IL2–IL6 enclaves. Every architecture we touch is hardened against modern threats, ATO-ready from inception, and aligned with DoD reference models.

  • Zero Trust Enforcement

    Zero Trust is more than a buzzword, it’s how we operate. We engineer fine-grained access controls using ABAC, enforce MFA across services, and integrate real-time policy engines to protect sensitive data at rest and in motion. Our Zero Trust solutions follow USAF, DISA, and NSA guidance to the letter.

  • Generative AI for Mission Advantage

    We help national security agencies develop, secure, and deploy artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, without compromising operational control or compliance. From building air-gapped pipelines to implementing explainability and auditability frameworks, we bring mission-ready AI to life.

  • Containerization & Virtualization

    We engineer Kubernetes-based solutions and virtualized workloads that thrive in edge, disconnected, and SAP environments. Our experts have delivered container platforms inside TS/SCI networks, complete with orchestrated updates, hardened baselines, and seamless DevSecOps workflows.

  • Cloud Native Access Points (CNAP)

    Our team includes the original architects and builders of the first Cloud Native Access Point (CNAP) deployed in operation. That experience has been refined into a repeatable, secure, and automation-driven approach to boundary enforcement for cloud workloads. These CNAP solutions embed Zero Trust principles at the infrastructure layer, enabling secure mission access across disconnected, hybrid, and high-side environments.

  • Rapid ATO & Model-Based Engineering

    Time-to-mission matters. We shorten ATO timelines by automating policy controls, inheritance mapping, and documentation workflows. Our MBSE approach integrates compliance into the system lifecycle, ensuring mission systems are secure, testable, and authorized faster.

Who We Are - A Force Multiplier of Cleared Experts

Wraith Defense is not a staffing firm. We are a battle-tested crew of cleared engineers, cloud architects, and cybersecurity leaders — many of whom built enterprise-grade operational programs across the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. All of our leadership is billable. All of our engineers deliver. No fluff. Just elite execution.
