Celerium joins AFCEA as corporate sustaining member
Celerium said its new AFCEA International membership will support cybersecurity collaboration across the Defense Industrial Base and add to its participation in conferences, education, and thought leadership.
Celerium said it has joined AFCEA International as a Corporate Sustaining Member to expand its defense cybersecurity work and take part in the group’s programs.
Celerium announced on Aug. 4, 2026, that it became an AFCEA International Corporate Sustaining Member, saying the move will deepen its work on cybersecurity for the Defense Industrial Base.
The company said the membership will also support collaboration among government, industry and academia through AFCEA’s network of defense and technology leaders.
AFCEA International is described in the release as a global nonprofit association that fosters collaboration among military, government, industry and academia to advance information technology, communications, cybersecurity and intelligence capabilities in support of national security.
Celerium said it plans to contribute expertise on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence-enabled threats, cyber resilience and challenges facing the Defense Industrial Base. The company also said it will take part in AFCEA conferences, thought leadership, educational programs and collaborative initiatives.
The release said Celerium has worked with the DoD Cyber Crime Center, or DC3, and the Defense Industrial Base Collaborative Information Sharing Environment, or DCISE. It said the company’s technology has helped eligible defense contractors improve network visibility, identify threats and strengthen cyber defense.
Celerium said its defense portfolio includes DIB CyberDome, powered by Cyber Interceptor. The company said the offering is designed to help small and medium-sized defense contractors improve cyber resilience through rapid deployment, continuous monitoring, automated threat detection and real-time protection.
Tommy McDowell, Celerium’s general manager, said cybersecurity is a mission-critical part of national defense. He said the membership reflects a commitment to work with government and industry leaders to strengthen the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base.
Vince Crisler, the company’s chief strategy officer and a former White House CISO, said artificial intelligence is changing how cyber adversaries operate. He said organizations need more automated and proactive defenses.
The release did not include financial terms or other deal details.
Celerium’s participation in AFCEA events, educational programs and other collaborative efforts will follow the membership.
