Engineering and IT consulting for utilities, transit, and government agencies
Auriga is a 34-year-old consulting firm serving utilities, transit systems, and government clients with engineering services across power systems, telecommunications, and IT infrastructure. The company is actively hardening its security posture—adopting Azure, implementing Microsoft security tools (Defender, Sentinel, Purview), and automating incident response—while simultaneously hiring mid-to-senior engineers and security staff. This dual focus suggests a shift toward internal capability-building in cloud security as client demands evolve.
