Federal cybersecurity consulting and zero-trust implementation services
Zermount is a security consulting firm serving federal and commercial clients with a stack anchored in Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, and AWS native security tools—all core to zero-trust architecture work. The hiring mix (19 security roles, mostly senior-level, all in the US) reflects their consulting model: deep technical bench for on-site implementation and advisory. Active projects cluster around zero-trust operationalization and threat detection tuning, while pain points (continuous monitoring gaps, federal compliance, vulnerability remediation) define their current engagement scope.
