White Cliffs directly supports the Intelligence and Cyber communities, focused on delivering technical expertise and mission understanding in three areas which are key to advancing our national security, cyber and intelligence missions:
Technical Analysis
White Cliffs delivers high-end technical analysis across the Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) discipline and Cyber mission space, leveraging skills and expertise within the DNR, Network Intelligence Analysis, Convergence and Next Generation Network technology arenas. Some of the key focus areas are efforts against:
- Network Infrastructure Development
- Enumeration
- Protocol Analysis
- Intrusion Detection Analysis
- Malware Analysis
The quality of these services are indicative of White Cliffs' approach in building a multi-disciplined, mission-focused corps of technical experts who execute and deliver on critical mission requirements and outcomes in support of national security, cyber and intelligence mission objectives.
Software Development
White Cliffs delivers software engineering that combines strong computer science expertise coupled with a deep mission understanding. Specific focus areas include:
- Reverse Engineering
- Tools and Services in Support of Network Operations
- Software Analytics
We work to apply our knowledge of industry and standard tools and techniques in order to effectively provide detailed analysis that can be used for immediate mission needs.
Engineering
White Cliffs engineering delivers both technical analysis and development to provide solutions for the customer. We work with the system as a whole, from end to end. We look at the hardware and software components of a system and learn the details of how they interact with one another until we know it inside and out. Specific focus areas include:
- Telecommunication Protocols
- Hardware
- Infrastructure
- Data Processing, Formats and Flows
- Operating Systems
- Virtualization
- High-Performance Computing Architectures
- Software Design and Integration
- Software Reverse Engineering
The key to WCC's approach is to answer the important questions within these focus areas. Basically asking "What does it do?", "How does it work?", "What can be done to make it better?", "How can we make it do more?", and "How can we make it do what we need it to do?"
How these services tie in to supporting mission:
Our mission depends on our analysts having the proper tools for the job. These tools are often created by our software developers and integrated into systems by our engineers. Teamwork between White Cliffs personnel ties these services together and separates this company from others. Our Analysts talk to our developers to define the mission need, our developers work with our engineers to integrate new capabilities into mission systems, and our engineers consult with the analysts to be sure the system supports the mission. The White Cliffs team is willing to help solve the hard problems.
