Impact
    • Core4ce provides cybersecurity subject matter expertise in support of Defense Health Agency (DHA) networks and systems located at hospitals and clinics across the Military Health System (MHS), which includes >9.6 million beneficiaries.
    • We designed the Biosurveillance Hub & Portal (BSHP) Proof of Concept (PoC) to detect, analyze, and track potential bio-threats using advanced predictive modeling techniques.
    • We’ve performed enterprise-wide network vulnerability assessments and Zero Trust assessments for the Department of Defense CIO, National Institutes of Health, and the DHA – helping to identify and mitigate potential cybersecurity risks.
    • We led the architecture and implementation of the DHA’s Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) solution, delivering a secure, scalable, and highly available virtual workspace. Designed to meet stringent DISA and DHA cybersecurity requirements, the solution supports remote access to clinical and administrative applications while maintaining compliance with Zero Trust principles.
    • We architect and administer the DHA’s only DevSecOps software factory.
    • We brokered the DHA’s first and only accredited commercial cloud hosting solution.
Capabilities

Cyber Defense
Core4ce protects our military’s critical healthcare infrastructure from insider threats, cyber criminals, and adversarial nation states. We identify advanced network threats, coordinate response plans, provide continuous monitoring, and develop cybersecurity tools. Our team supports DHA’s health and readiness mission, safeguarding the health data of Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force warfighters.

Enterprise-Wide Vulnerability Testing
We help healthcare customers see their networks the way a hacker does – as a series of opportunities waiting to be exploited. We aim to uncover as many attack paths as possible and follow each of them to their conclusion. During these engagements, we have also uncovered multiple zero-day exploits present in major commercial applications and devices. 

Network Design
Through a long-term partnership with the Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic (NIWC Atlantic), Core4ce has attained a high level of institutional and enterprise knowledge of MHS networks, including subject matter expertise across network appliances and IT products. Our team was instrumental in the infrastructure engineering of DHA’s Med-COI network.

Cloud Managed Services
Core4ce Cloud Managed Services help DoD and Federal organizations realize the full potential of their cloud investments by ensuring performance, security, and cost-efficiency across every phase of the cloud lifecycle. Our experts handle right-sizing resources to avoid overprovisioning, cost optimization to control budgets, and automation of operations for greater efficiency.

Cloud Infrastructure
Core4ce partners closely with MHS customers to design tailored cloud architectures that balance cost, scalability, availability, interoperability, and security, enabling future-ready, high-performing solutions that support the most demanding missions. By combining secure design principles with mission-focused engineering, Core4ce ensures cloud environments enhance operational agility, improve data interoperability, and reduce risk across the enterprise.
