Domains of Expertise


Cybersecurity

Whether you sit as a consumer or producer of capabilities in the cybersecurity domain, we will serve as a critical partner in measuring and capturing success. We frame all cybersecurity products and services in the context of three key components:

  • Threats: the breadth of possible damages to business operations

  • Vulnerabilities: the ways in which those damages have the potential to happen

  • Impacts: the resultant damage to business operations and client trust after a successful attack.

We help clients analyze these three key components across their technological landscape. This includes end-points, networks, and external services.


Data Science

When implemented correctly data science is one of the most important tools at a company’s disposal. However, it is used inefficiently all too often. This is because companies often lack a cohesive data science strategy, opting instead to capture seemingly infinite amounts of data without the means or vision to appropriately analyze it. At Vela we use a three-pronged approach to structure our understanding of data science problems and solutions. These are:

  • Capture: We encourage clients to capture the specific data needed with a clear goal for its utilization, rather than capturing data writ large. 

  • Evaluate: We help clients to utilize a diverse range of methods and models to evaluate the data, understanding that different data requires specific analytic tools. 

  • Deliver: We work with clients to present findings to decision makers in ways that are easy to consume and align with existing workflows.

Our three-pronged approach allows for consistent critical reflection of our clients’ development and utilization of data science tools in this complex ecosystem.
