WASHINGTON, D.C., October 2025 – CyKor, a mission-focused Technology Solutions Provider (TSP) supporting the U.S. Department of Defense and Homeland Security, has been selected to support the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) Next Generation (NexGen) initiative, modernizing and securing the Navy’s afloat network infrastructure.
CANES NexGen is a cornerstone of the Navy’s digital modernization strategy, unifying command, control, communications, intelligence, and logistics applications across the fleet to deliver a secure, interoperable, and scalable network foundation.
The Navy faces a critical challenge in transforming legacy shipboard networks into agile, cyber-resilient architectures that can keep pace with evolving operational demands and emerging threats. Achieving reliable, data-driven decision-making at sea requires the integration of modern technologies and engineering expertise that can operate at mission speed.
CyKor’s engineering-led approach is centered on mission outcomes, not transactions. Leveraging deep expertise in Zero Trust architectures, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and automation, CyKor partners directly with Navy stakeholders to design, test, and deploy capabilities that modernize and sustain afloat networks with greater speed, security, and efficiency, advancing the Navy’s Digital Modernization Strategy and strengthening operational resilience across the maritime domain.
“The CANES NexGen effort reflects the Navy’s mission to deliver cyber-resilient networks that empower sailors to connect, defend, and fight smarter wherever the mission takes them. Strengthening cyber resilience and accelerating decision advantage at sea, so every ship, system, and sailor can operate with confidence in any domain. That’s how readiness becomes reality.”
– David Ray, Sr. Director, Business Development & Strategy – DoD, CyKor
CyKor’s continued involvement reinforces its commitment to advancing the Navy’s digital infrastructure, empowering the fleet with secure, connected capabilities that enhance readiness and sustain maritime dominance in the modern battlespace.
