Celerium is aiming to level the cyber battlefield for small- and mid-sized defense contractors with a new integrated platform built to meet rising compliance demands.
The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) CyberDome system is envisioned as a cost-conscious security layer for firms that often lack the budget and staffing to protect sensitive information at scale.
It also supports compliance with the US Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a tiered framework that assesses how well organizations safeguard data that could pose national security risks if exposed.
At CMMC Level 2, CyberDome reportedly gives companies continuous visibility into their networks, acting as a 24/7 monitoring layer that would traditionally require significant resources to maintain.
“Small and mid-sized defense contractors are now facing the same level of adversary sophistication as the largest primes, but without comparable resources or visibility,” Celerium Chief Strategy Officer Vince Crisler said.
“DIB CyberDome changes that model — putting automated, real-time threat detection and blocking at the network boundary, where breaches actually begin, without requiring the staff or infrastructure that smaller contractors don’t have.”
How CyberDome Works
DIB CyberDome includes two main components, each focused on a different layer of defense.
The Cyber Interceptor is designed to protect individual firms by continuously monitoring networks for threats, with updates and adjustments made every 15 minutes.
It can be deployed on both physical servers or cloud infrastructure without the need for special hardware or endpoint installation.
The system also automates much of the security workload, reducing reliance on large in-house teams while generating audit-ready reports.
The Elevated Defense System extends protection across the wider defense contractor ecosystem.
It leverages AI to detect emerging threats and coordinate defensive responses across participating organizations within the CyberDome network.
