Caliola Engineering Innovation & Technology Culture

How does innovation show up in your company culture?

Innovation is the transformation of ideas into social impact. Caliola Engineering accomplishes this by quickly and collaboratively applying creative ideas to solve complex technical problems and address operational issues. Innovation is a core value of Caliola, and the resulting impact provides trusted solutions for mission critical communications.

What’s one recent innovation that improved user or employee experience?

One recent innovation that I have been personally involved in takes an existing communication system, considers its faults, and generates ideas on how best to improve performance. By engineering and implementing these ideas, our team solves real-world issues, helps protect the warfighter, and supports national security.

How do you balance experimentation with stability?

Caliola consists of a group of intelligent, driven individuals who have succeeded through collaboration and cooperation. The team’s extensive experience provides a solid base of knowledge on which to build creative solutions. Through collaborative communication and careful resource management, experimentation is allowed to discover the best possible solutions to complex problems while remaining efficient, effective and efficacious.

What’s it like to work on the cybersecurity team at your company?

Working on Caliola’s cybersecurity team is fast-paced and extremely rewarding. We’re responsible for protecting company systems, data and users while also making sure we meet security and compliance requirements. Every day can be different — one day may involve investigating an alert and the next might be improving policies, hardening systems or helping employees understand security risks.

What tools or technologies help your team protect the company and its customers?

We use a combination of security, monitoring, identity and compliance technologies to protect Caliola and its customers. These include endpoint protection, firewalls, multi-factor authentication, security monitoring and alerting, email security, vulnerability management and data protection tools.

What should candidates know about how your team evaluates, adopts or improves security tooling?

Our team takes a practical, risk-based approach to security tooling. We look at how well a tool addresses a real security need, how it integrates with our existing environment, whether it supports our compliance requirements and how manageable it will be for both administrators and users.
