America's Security Corporation

What America's Security Corporation does

America's Security Corporation (ASC) is a privately held, micro-cap information technology and cybersecurity firm headquartered at 2121 Eisenhower Avenue in Alexandria, Virginia, with a secondary training facility at George Mason University in Fairfax. Founded in 2009 and operating with 1-10 employees, the company serves primarily Department of Defense and federal government clients, alongside state, local, and commercial customers. The company describes itself as a premier Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) and positions its offerings around two pillars: professional cybersecurity and IT services, and a packaged product suite for certification exam preparation.

The core technology portfolio consists of twelve downloadable software products covering four IT security certification tracks (CAP, CISSP, Network+, and Security+), each delivered in three formats: Evaluator (randomly generated practice questions simulating the exam), Flashcards (digital study cards with sound, shuffle, and playback features), and MiniGames (gamified learning exercises). Products are distributed for Windows, iOS, and Android, with the mobile apps aggregating all four certification domains. The professional services line spans information security assessments, penetration testing, policy assessment and design, data breach prevention, HIPAA self-risk assessments, cybersecurity management (event aggregation, incident response, remediation), systems engineering, software engineering (Java, Oracle, SQL Server, .NET), security product integration, and systems integration. Instructor-led training programs in boot camp, evening, and weekend formats align with DoD 8570.1 workforce certification requirements and integrate materials from official (ISC)2, ISACA, and Intelligence Community guides.

ASC's revenue mechanics combine low-unit-price consumer-grade software sales (Flashcards and MiniGames at $5.99, Evaluators at $9.99) with higher-value, variable-priced professional services contracts and training programs. The go-to-market is direct: inside sales via phone, an e-commerce storefront at amesec.com for software, in-person boot camps at the Fairfax training facility, and outreach to government procurement channels. Pricing for training and services is opaque and quoted on request, consistent with bespoke government contracting. The company is privately held, reports no funding rounds or institutional investors, and does not disclose revenue.

Direct peers

• InfoSec Institute: InfoSec Institute offers boot camps and online training for CISSP, Security+, CEH, and other cybersecurity certifications — overlapping ASC's certification prep and instructor-led training offerings.
• OffSec (Offensive Security): OffSec delivers hands-on cybersecurity training and certifications (OSCP, OSCP-aligned content) and shares ASC's training-plus-exam-prep positioning, particularly around penetration testing.
• Cybrary: Cybrary provides online cybersecurity training and certification prep across CompTIA, (ISC)², and CISSP tracks, competing with ASC's software and training products in the same buyer market.
• Training Camp: Training Camp runs accelerated boot-camp style certification prep courses for CISSP, Security+, Network+, and other IT/security credentials — directly comparable to ASC's boot camp training programs.
• Destination Certification: Destination Certification focuses on CISSP and other (ISC)² exam prep through books, online courses, and practice questions, addressing the same self-study and boot camp buyer that ASC targets.
• Boson Software: Boson sells downloadable practice-exam and simulation software for CompTIA, Cisco, and (ISC)² certifications, mirroring ASC's Evaluator/Flashcard/MiniGame product approach.

Broad incumbents

• Pluralsight: Pluralsight is a broad incumbent tech-skills platform that bundles cybersecurity and certification prep content (including Security+, CISSP) into a subscription, competing with ASC's individual software purchases.
• SANS Institute: SANS is the dominant incumbent in deep cybersecurity training and GIAC certifications, serving the same federal and commercial buyers as ASC but at significantly greater scale and breadth.

Others

• CompTIA: CompTIA issues the Security+ and Network+ certifications that ASC's products prepare candidates for. Like (ISC)², it is the upstream authority rather than a direct competitor.
• (ISC)²: (ISC)² is the certification body behind CISSP and CAP, and an official content partner for ASC's training programs. They are not a direct competitor but a content authority ASC depends on.
