Our Insights

Transferring Your Military Skills and Experience into the Field of Cybersecurity

Welcome to the second article in this series looking at cybersecurity careers. Cropper Federal Security believes that military veterans are ideally positioned to make valuable contributions in the cybersecurity industry. Many key skills are highly transferable, which is good news in a landscape suffering from a shortage of highly trained federal security professionals.

Why Partner with a Cybersecurity Firm with Military Experience?

Providing services that keep pace with the continually-evolving nature of digital technologies is no easy task, especially in the high-stakes world of intelligence and national defense. Tech companies and service providers looking to make inroads in the intelligence community can face questions of experience and security clearances, especially in terms of cybersecurity. Without the proper level of experience, expertise, and clearance, businesses will find intelligence contracts elusive at best.

What Government Organizations Need in a Cyber Security Firm

Selecting a cyber security partner could be one of the most important decisions your organization ever makes. Choosing the right cyber security firm could mean the difference between a knowledgeable partner who keeps your mission-critical IT assets protected, and a poor IT security posture that exposes you to a devastating cyber attack.
