DARK WOLF : ACCELERATING SECURITY FOR USAF
Dark Wolf Solutions is small and agile , and its partnership with the US Air Force is helping to deliver critical security faster and better than ever before .
As a small company whose biggest customers are the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community , Dark Wolf Solutions is a triple-threat , specializing in Cybersecurity , Software and DevOps , and Management Solutions . Dark Wolf secures and tests cloud platforms , develops and deploys applications , and offers consultancy services performing system engineering , system integration , and mission support .
The break for Dark Wolf came when the Department of Defense decided to explore software factories . Rick Tossavainen , Dark Wolf ’ s CEO , thinks it was an inspired path for the DoD to take .
It has been , Tossavainen says , “ amazing to watch ” and has energized the Federal Contracting Sector with an influx of new talent and improved working environments that foster creativity and innovative ways of approaching traditional problems .
“ We originally started working with the US Air Force about three years ago . The problem was at the time you could develop all the software you wanted but you couldn ’ t get it into production – you had to go through the traditional assessment and authorization process . I talked to Lauren Knausenberger and she told me about Kessel Run and what eventually came out of this was the DoD ’ s first continuous ATO [ Authority To Operate ].”
The secret to Dark Wolf ’ s success – and its partnerships with USAF and Space Force – lies in a client-first attitude . “ We ’ re not looking to maximise revenue ,” Tossavainen explains . “ We tell all of our employees , if you ’ re ever faced with an issue and you don ’ t know how to resolve it , and one solution is better for the customer and the second is better for Dark Wolf , you always do number one . We ’ ve just got to take care of our customers , and I look for other partners that want to do that . And let ’ s work together so that we can bring them the best answer we can .”
