Federal cybersecurity and data exploitation platform for intelligence and defense
Probity is a 51–200-person federal contractor focused on threat detection, incident response, and large-scale data analysis for the Intelligence Community and Homeland Defense. The tech stack—Windows, OCI, GCP, AWS Lambda, Elasticsearch, Java/Spring—reflects a mature enterprise security posture across cloud and on-premise. Active projects center on cloud incident detection, threat hunting automation, and netflow/pcap analysis; pain points cluster around ingesting petabytes of data, detecting advanced threats, and optimizing incident response workflows, indicating Probity is moving from traditional signature-based detection toward behavioral and cloud-native threat visibility.
