CyberKinetics

What CyberKinetics does

CyberKinetics is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, founded in 2015 by Brandon Lally to deliver cloud-based engineering, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure services to federal agencies and defense contractors in the National Security segment. The company organizes its work around three practice areas: IT Infrastructure Services (cyber infrastructure design, secure operating system configuration, technology refresh, incident troubleshooting, and cloud readiness); Software Engineering (distributed application design, application modernization, cloud re-architecture, DevOps-driven lifecycle, and data migration for sensitive missions); and IT Security and Forensics (least-privilege system design, vulnerability assessments, certification and accreditation, incident response, and digital forensics).

Underlying technology is cloud-native on AWS, combining API Gateway/Lambda serverless compute with ECS containerized microservices, a CI/CD-driven DevSecOps pipeline with integrated security scanning, and a stateless Zero Trust authentication model. CyberKinetics holds Advanced Tier AWS Consulting Partner status with Government Competency, along with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 certifications, and applies this stack to NIST 800-53 and Risk Management Framework accreditation work for intelligence community and defense customers.

The business model is project-based professional services with custom enterprise quoting, no publicly disclosed pricing, and revenue generated entirely from federal and defense customers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting federal agencies and prime defense contractors, augmented by the AWS Partner ecosystem for referrals. The firm lists Booze Allen Hamilton, Raytheon, GDIT, Leidos, DGS, and Unalakleet as customers/partners. In April 2024, CyberKinetics merged with CASE, with founder Brandon Lally moving to the Chief Customer Officer role at CASE, while the CyberKinetics brand continues to operate from Herndon with additional offices in Reston and McLean.
