About Us
Our Story
At Aevora, we are a veteran-owned and operated cybersecurity firm focused on helping organizations navigate the constantly evolving landscape of cyber threats. Founded in 2025, Aevora was built on the principle that effective defense starts with foresight and preparation—not reaction.
Our journey began with a simple conviction: too many companies are calling vulnerability assessments a penetration test. There are numerous security firms that run basic automated vulnerability scans and call it a day. When you review these reports, you will notice findings that were not validated, false positives, and often a team that does not understand technology at the level they claim. What happens next? Companies are hacked and privacy is compromised. Nearly all Americans have already had their personal information leaked online. Aevora is here to break this issue.
Our strength lies in a team of resilient, curious, and driven operators who are passionate about uncovering vulnerabilities and strengthening defenses. With a focus on advanced penetration testing and adversary simulation, we provide organizations with the insights they need to stay one step ahead in an ever-evolving threat landscape.
Our Mission and Vision

Vision
A future where every organization operates with unbreakable resilience, leveraging human ingenuity and advanced frameworks to outmaneuver cyber risks. At Aevora, we envision a world where cybersecurity is not a cost center, but a strategic advantage that drives growth and innovation.
