Security consulting · From the building to outer space

We secure you from the building to outer space.

IT Factor protects the facilities that house your systems, your on-premises networks, your cloud environments and your space systems, plus the AI, phones and IoT devices that run across all of them, for healthcare, financial services and government. Space cybersecurity is our specialty: satellites, ground stations and the links between them.

CYBERSECURITY

Watch · 0:30

People. Protection. A stronger tomorrow.

The satellites overhead, the networks in your hospital, the laptop on a family's living room floor. IT Factor protects what connects them.

Services by altitude

From the building to outer space. One security program.

Your security is only as strong as the lowest layer. We protect the physical buildings your systems live in, the networks inside them, the cloud they reach and the spacecraft they control, and we assess all four together so a gap at one altitude doesn't become a breach at another.

Across every layer

AI, mobile and IoT security

Some risks don't live at one altitude. AI tools, phones and connected devices touch every layer at once, so we secure them wherever they run.

AI security

Secure the AI your teams build and the AI tools they use, and keep sensitive data out of models that shouldn't have it.

  • AI and LLM application testing
  • Prompt injection & jailbreak testing
  • AI red teaming
  • Data leakage controls
  • Shadow AI discovery
  • AI governance & policy

Protect company phones and staff's own phones from phishing texts, risky apps and fake Wi-Fi, without touching personal data.

  • Mobile device management
  • BYOD policy & work profiles
  • Text-message phishing protection
  • Mobile app penetration testing
  • Lost & stolen device response
  • Compliance checks for access

IoT security

Cameras, badge readers, medical devices, sensors and controllers can't run antivirus. We find every one and watch it from the network.

  • Device discovery & inventory
  • Network segmentation for IoT
  • Medical device (IoMT) security
  • OT & industrial control systems
  • Firmware & default password review
  • Behavior monitoring

Our platform

Meet Vigil.

Vigil is IT Factor's AI security monitoring platform. It learns how every laptop, phone, server, camera, sensor and controller normally behaves, stops threats in seconds, and explains every incident in plain English. Our security team watches it around the clock.

  • Every device, including IoT. Cameras, printers, medical devices and PLCs are covered from the network, with nothing to install on them.
  • Phones and tablets. Company and personal phones are protected from phishing texts and fake Wi-Fi. On personal phones, Vigil sees only the work apps.
  • Stops threats in seconds. Ransomware, botnets and takeovers are contained automatically, or held for an engineer to approve. You choose which.
  • Ask Vigil. Ask what's risky or what happened overnight, and get a client-ready summary.
  • 24×7 security operations. IT Factor's team is on call with a 15-minute response target.

The demo runs on fictional sample clients and simulated activity.

Space cybersecurity

A spacecraft can't be patched by walking over to it.

Space systems run for years on hardware that can't be reached, over radio links anyone can listen to, controlled from ground networks that look like any other IT. We secure every segment of the mission.

Ground segment

Mission control & ground stations

Where most real-world attacks on space systems begin.

  • Mission operations network review
  • Ground station physical & cyber hardening
  • Penetration testing

Link segment

Uplink, downlink & crosslinks

Command, telemetry and payload data in transit over RF and optical links.

  • TT&C encryption & authentication
  • Jamming & spoofing resilience
  • Key management design

Space segment

Bus, payload & flight software

Security built in before launch, because changes after launch are slow and risky.

  • Secure-by-design reviews
  • Flight software assessment
  • Safe-mode & recovery planning

User segment

Terminals & downstream services

The organizations that rely on satellite communications, imagery and timing.

  • Satcom terminal security
  • GPS / PNT dependency mapping
  • Third-party provider assessment

Grounded in the frameworks the space community uses

We map findings and controls to recognized space and federal guidance, so your results hold up with partners, insurers and government customers.
