Elevate your
protection IQ.

PublicCore identifies and mitigates threats to critical infrastructure and National Special Security Events — from armed assault on a facility to drone incursions, CBRN, and AI‑enabled biological attacks.

PublicCore sits at the intersection of the democratic process and protective operations.

We protect the systems a free society runs on — the reactors, networks, and cables that keep a nation running, and the events where the democratic process unfolds in public view. Our work starts long before anyone reaches the gate.

PUBLICCORE
Maps how an adversary would reach the gate — and what they would do next.
Identifies threats before they become incidents.
Assesses conventional and emerging threats: drones, CBRN, AI‑enabled attack.
Adapts protection as intelligence and the threat picture change.
Works as a neutral liaison between political operations and law enforcement and government resources.

From the familiar to the unprecedented.

CONVENTIONAL

Armed assault

Coordinated attacks on facilities and personnel, often preceded by surveillance and rehearsal.

Vehicle-borne attack

Ramming and vehicle-borne explosives aimed at gates, crowds, and critical nodes.

Insider threat

Trusted access turned against the mission — through coercion, ideology, or grievance.

Sabotage & intrusion

Covert entry and physical tampering aimed at systems that are hard to replace.

EMERGING

Drones & swarms

Commercial and modified UAS used for surveillance, payload delivery, and coordinated disruption.

CBRN / WMD

Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.

AI-enabled biothreats

AI tools that lower the expertise barrier for designing and producing biological agents.

Cyber-physical attack

Digital intrusions engineered to cause physical effects in industrial and control systems.

The infrastructure beneath everything.

VITAL AREA PROTECTED AREA BOUNDARY UAS · OVERFLIGHT

Nuclear & energy

Generation sites and grid nodes where a successful attack is measured in regions, not buildings. We assess design-basis and beyond-design-basis threats, including insider and aerial vectors.

INSIDER THREATCOUNTER-UASCBRN
BACKHAUL MACRO SITE UNMANNED SITE · INTRUSION

Telecommunications

Macro cell sites, switching centers, and backhaul that carry emergency communications and everyday life. Many sit remote and lightly protected — we determine which ones matter most.

Subsea cables

Undersea cables carry the vast majority of intercontinental data. We assess landing stations, shore-end routes, and maritime threats — from anchor-drag to deliberate sabotage.

Data centers

The compute behind AI, finance, and government services. We protect the facility, the power and cooling it depends on, and the people with privileged access to it.

Where visibility is itself a vulnerability.

We provide discreet assessment and protective design for sensitive public and private-sector facilities.

When the world is watching.

Inaugurations, national party conventions, the Super Bowl — moments where the democratic process and national life happen in the open, and where a single failure echoes worldwide.

PublicCore works closely with the U.S. Secret Service, the Diplomatic Security Service, and CISA, bringing threat assessment, venue hardening, and emerging-threat expertise to the interagency effort.

  1. AssessThreat and vulnerability assessment of venues, routes, and surrounding infrastructure.
  2. PlanIntegration with federal, state, and local partners on the operational security plan.
  3. ExerciseTabletop and field exercises that stress-test plans against conventional and emerging scenarios.
  4. OperateThreat monitoring, emerging-threat expertise, and rapid assessment while the event runs.
  5. ReviewAfter-action analysis that carries lessons forward to the next event.

Identify. Assess. Mitigate. Sustain.

IdentifyMap the adversary's options: what they would target, how they would get there, and what they would need.
AssessTest the defenses through vulnerability assessment, red teaming, and scenario modeling — including threats most plans ignore.
MitigateClose the gaps with practical, prioritized measures across physical security, detection, procedures, and people.
SustainStay ahead with continuous protective intelligence and regular exercising, so protection keeps pace with the threat.
