The Camelot Secure Story

The evolution of Camelot Secure began as a special operation amongst veteran cyber warriors committed to creating a visionary, comprehensive cybersecurity solution that is as dynamically intelligent as the future threats we will battle. Conventional cybersecurity solutions were incomplete—each providing a narrowly focused tool rather than a holistic strategy. Our vision comprises expert people, proven processes and innovative technologies required to engage successfully with ever-evolving adversaries.  

Today, Camelot Secure represents an elite team of experts who have pioneered the concept of a 360° cybersecurity solution. Our strategies are reliable, repeatable, and scalable because our heritage is rich, drawing from our Company’s 23 years of peerless performance in partnering with the world’s most selective and security-sensitive organizations.
