CPT (Cyber Protection Team)
U.S. military teams trained to defend DoD networks, conduct vulnerability assessments, and respond to cyber incidents on priority systems.
Cyber Protection Teams (CPTs) are U.S. military cyberspace units assigned to defend Department of Defense information networks, protect priority missions, and prepare cyber forces. CPTs conduct defensive cyberspace operations including vulnerability assessments, network defense, incident response, and threat hunting across DoD networks. Operating under U.S. Cyber Command, CPTs bring specialized skills in network analysis, malware reverse engineering, and adversary emulation. CyberUp24 was founded by former CPT operators who bring this elite operational experience directly to government and enterprise clients.
