Sentar Honored with Two FORUM Innovation Awards for Groundbreaking Cybersecurity Initiatives

Sentar, Inc. (Sentar), a leading provider of advanced cybersecurity and intelligence solutions, is proud to announce its recognition as a FORUM Innovation Award winner for two transformative technologies: Secure Enterprise Network Threat Response Incident Query (SENTRIQ) and Scalable Tiered Risk Operations for Next-Gen Governance, Holistic Operations, and Leadership Development (STRONGHOLD). These awards mark Sentar’s 8th consecutive year of recognition and 12th total FORUM Innovation Award, highlighting its innovation and leadership in defense and federal IT.

SENTRIQ, developed with the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC)-Atlantic, revolutionizes cybersecurity operations through real-time threat detection, automated response, and intelligence-driven security enhancements. By integrating tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, and Trellix into a unified analytics framework, SENTRIQ has added a layer to support false positive detection, accelerated response times, and enhanced situational awareness. SENTRIQ also serves as a platform for mentoring cyber professionals, equipping them with threat hunting and adversary analysis skills to combat evolving threats.

STRONGHOLD, also developed with NIWC-Atlantic, introduces a scalable, tiered framework for cybersecurity governance and operational resilience across diverse Department of Defense (DoD) systems. By integrating modular support levels, STRONGHOLD enables organizations to elevate their cybersecurity posture while fostering leadership development. Through this framework, Senior ISSMs mentor ISSOs in implementing Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls, ensuring workforce consistency and risk visibility.

“These awards are a testament to Sentar’s commitment to innovation and collaboration,” said Nate Swab, Senior Director, DoD Programs at Sentar. “SENTRIQ and STRONGHOLD exemplify how cutting-edge technology and impactful leadership can transform cybersecurity operations, empowering agencies to stay ahead of evolving threats while building the next generation of cyber leaders.”

Sentar will be recognized at the 11th Annual FORUM Innovation Awards ceremony on June 23 in Reston, VA.
