At Worksters, we’ve spent years supporting U.S. government agencies through all kinds of technology changes. We’re a small business, but we’ve learned how to adapt, stay ahead, and deliver solutions that matter. Today, we’re seeing one of the biggest shifts yet — and cybersecurity is right at the heart of it.
Washington is putting real weight behind securing America’s critical systems. In 2025 alone, Congress has set aside more than $1.6 billion for military cryptographic modernization. This isn’t just about buying new equipment — it’s about rethinking how we defend the systems that power defense, healthcare, transportation, and more. Software-based protections aren’t enough anymore. The threats move too fast, and attackers are too sophisticated. That’s why appliance-based, hardware encryption is becoming the standard.
Our partnership with Krypton brings this capability straight from a country that knows the stakes — Poland, the global leader in facing cyberattacks. Krypton’s hardware encryption modules offer the tamper-resistance and speed agencies demand, and they fit perfectly into modern Zero Trust architectures where every device, every connection, has to be verified.
The funding is important, but the policy changes matter just as much. The Department of Defense’s small-business cyber set-aside programs are opening new doors for companies like ours to bring turnkey, hardware-backed solutions directly to the agencies that need them. Programs like the Mentor-Protégé initiative and APEX Accelerator mean small integrators can now offer services that used to be out of reach — like managed HSM deployments, secure firmware updates, and AI-assisted compliance reporting — all built on FIPS-certified hardware.
Looking forward, America’s AI Action Plan will require agencies to bake security into every layer of their AI systems. This means encrypted threat-intelligence sharing, post-quantum-ready modules, and tools that keep critical operations running even when facing nation-state-level attacks.
For managed service providers, enterprise security teams, and government buyers, this is a moment of opportunity. The right combination of policy, funding, and technology is here — and it won’t last forever. At Worksters, we’re ready to help agencies turn these federal investments into real-world resilience, protecting not just systems and data, but the people who depend on them.
