root9B will lead global active defense and pursuit operations throughout the company's proprietary enterprise. These operations incorporate active manned information security driven by tactical threat intelligence tailored to the client's unique business needs. root9B's unmatched experience and proprietary active defense platform ensures its operators and analysts can defend global networks on behalf of its clients.
