KEVAL

What KEVAL does

KEVAL, LLC is a privately held, Service Disabled Veteran Owned cyber security training and education services firm headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. Founded in 2007 by Dr. Valerie E. Davis after 24 years of military service in national security, the company provides customized cyber security training, consulting, assessments, policy development, and bootcamps to federal government agencies and private organizations. The training portfolio covers threat awareness, insider threats, cyber investigations, profiling, and information sharing, structured across four proficiency levels (Level 1 Basics through Level 4 Advanced).

The company's core product set consists of four offerings: custom Learning Management System (LMS) development, computer-based training, formal course development (face-to-face classroom instruction at customer sites), and mobile training teams that deliver hands-on instruction at client locations. Delivery modalities span face-to-face, hybrid, and computer-based formats. The underlying technology stack is conventional eLearning infrastructure (LMS, virtual classrooms, blended delivery) and does not include proprietary AI components. Course content and curriculum customization are the primary differentiators, leveraging the founder's 30+ years of cyber intelligence experience and program development at JWICS classification level for the Intelligence Community, DoD, and State Department.

Revenue is generated through professional services under multi-year contracts, with pricing custom and quote-based. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by federal contract vehicles (GSA and similar) and a single minor affiliate partnership with NordPass. The company holds 12 small business certifications (SDVOSB, WOSB, MBE, VOSB, SBE, WBE, AABE, DBE, DIBE, ESBE, HUB, VBE) that unlock federal contracting set-asides. Named customers include the FBI (Denial and Deception Workshop) and Howard University (Cyber and Analytical Bootcamps). No funding rounds, external investors, headcount figures, or revenue disclosures are present in the source data. The operating geography is the United States.

Direct peers

• Cybrary: Online cybersecurity skills development platform offering free and paid training across awareness, technical, and certification tracks for individuals and teams. Comparable to KEVAL's CBT and eLearning curriculum capabilities.
• SANS Institute: The leading provider of cybersecurity training and certifications globally, offering face-to-face, online, and self-paced GIAC-certified courses for government and enterprise audiences. Directly comparable to KEVAL across delivery modalities, content depth, and government-focused curriculum.
• Infosec Institute: Cybersecurity training and certification provider offering boot camps, role-based training, and awareness programs to enterprises and government. Overlaps with KEVAL's bootcamp, formal course, and computer-based training offerings.
• KnowBe4: Specialized security awareness and simulated phishing training platform serving enterprise and government markets. Highly comparable to KEVAL's awareness-training core, but delivered as a scalable SaaS platform rather than bespoke service engagements.
• SecureNinja: Government-focused cybersecurity and IT training provider serving DoD, intelligence community, and federal agencies. Directly comparable to KEVAL in its federal-government orientation and JWICS/expert-level training credentials.
• INE Security: Technical cybersecurity and networking training company offering hands-on labs, boot camps, and certification prep for offensive security, SOC, and engineering roles. Comparable to KEVAL's analytical bootcamps and technical training tracks.

Emerging players

• Hack The Box: Hands-on cybersecurity upskilling platform with gamified labs and enterprise training tiers. Overlaps with KEVAL's boot camp and skills-development offerings, though delivered as a self-serve platform rather than bespoke service.
• RangeForce: Cloud-based cyber skills training platform combining guided exercises with attack simulations for SOC and security engineering teams. Targets similar buyer personas as KEVAL's mid-to-advanced level cyber training programs.
• Immersive Labs: Cyber skills resilience platform offering hands-on labs and crisis simulations for enterprise security teams. Adjacent to KEVAL's boot camp and mobile training team offerings but delivered via automated platform rather than instructor-led service.

Broad incumbents

• CompTIA: Major IT certification body whose Security+ and other credentials underpin the cybersecurity training ecosystem. Operates a much broader portfolio than KEVAL but competes for the same entry-level and professional training budget.
