Cybervance

What Cybervance does

Cybervance is a privately held cybersecurity services company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Kensington, Maryland. The company operates three core service lines delivered primarily to U.S. federal agencies, law enforcement, and international partner nations: Cyber Operations (enterprise network defense, including security operations center staffing, security engineering, cyber investigations, and digital forensics), Cyber Training and Exercises (scenario-driven training and exercise programs for cybersecurity professionals and leadership), and Cyber Foreign Assistance (international cyber capacity building implementing U.S. foreign policy objectives in partner nations). Selected customers include U.S. federal government agencies, law enforcement agencies, and international partner nations receiving U.S. foreign assistance.

The company's proprietary technology is Cybervance Vertex, an online cybersecurity learning platform built on LearnWorlds that delivers experiential, scenario-based training matched to organizational threat landscapes. The platform supports assessment and evaluation, skill development, compliance exercises, and reporting. Vertex packages a broader proprietary curriculum organized into specialized modules covering digital forensics, incident response (including ransomware and malware analysis), network investigations, online investigations (social media and dark web), cryptocurrency tracing, cyber defense (Zero Trust, cloud, endpoint), operational management, and executive and legal content (judicial workshops, AI in policing, cyber-enabled terrorism). Cybervance holds CMMC Level 2 certification, indicating compliance with defense contractor cybersecurity requirements and qualifying the firm for defense industrial base work.

Cybervance generates revenue through federal government professional services contracts (Cyber Operations staffing and program management), training and exercise program delivery, and commercial licensing of its proprietary training curriculum and materials under an explicit Training Program Commercial License Agreement. Distribution occurs through direct federal contracting via FAR/DFARS-compliant procurement, direct international program delivery to partner nations, and online learning platform access. The company reports deployment to 30+ countries with hundreds of completed engagements, indicating an operating footprint that significantly exceeds its public 1-10 employee disclosure, suggesting significant use of cleared contractors, subcontractors, or international field trainers. Marketing reach is conducted through the corporate website, industry conferences, a Community of Practice, and the Vertex learning platform.
