Lionfish Cyber Security
Cyber Tackle Box™ Workforce & Compliance Platform
The DoD faces a 28,000-person cyber talent gap. Lionfish recruits and trains college students in CMMC/CCP, deploys them to help the DoD supply chain with compliance, then transitions them into DoD cyber roles — building the next generation of mission-ready defenders.
Why it mattersLionfish Cyber Security is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) delivering comprehensive, forward-looking cybersecurity and compliance solutions. Our offerings focus on workforce development, tailored training programs, and a robust Cyber Resiliency, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform, all underpinned by a “By, With, and Through” philosophy inspired by our founder’s U.S. Army Special Forces background. Beyond strengthening U.S.-based clients, Lionfish extends these capabilities to allied and partner forces abroad, helping them secure their digital environments while they manage kinetic operations. By integrating practical, scenario-based instruction with rigorous policy frameworks (e.g., CMMC), we empower organizations to fortify their cyber posture and address non-kinetic threats. Our goal is to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap with a scalable, accessible approach that remains aligned with national security priorities.
About
Problem
The DoD faces a shortfall of 28,000+ cyber professionals — a direct threat to U.S. military readiness. Critical missions, networks, and weapon systems are exposed. Without trained defenders, adversaries can breach systems faster than we can fill vacancies. This is no longer a hiring issue — it's a national defense emergency.
Solution
Lionfish trains college students in CMMC/CCP, deploys them to help DoD contractors meet compliance, then transitions them into DoD cyber roles — closing the talent gap and securing the supply chain.
Field Validation
Pilot at Ball State and Production currently at Northern Virginia Community College. Students completed CCP certification and will support live CMMC compliance projects for DoD contractors. Technology Maturity: TRL 7–8: Platform and model actively used. Students perform real documentation, control implementation, and walk-throughs.
Strategic Advantage
Patent-pending AI training, GRC platform, community talent pipeline, and “By, With, and Through” deployment — unmatched in scope and integration.
Go-to-Market
University pipelines, primes, DIU, AFCEA, and outreach to USINDOPACOM J6/J8 and DoD cyber workforce leads.
Dual-Use Potential
Expandable to energy, healthcare, education, and critical infrastructure.
Team
