Federal cybersecurity and compliance solutions for government and defense
Avint is a federal-focused cybersecurity firm built around continuous diagnostics, compliance engineering, and physical security strategy. The stack is defense-grade (Splunk, Nessus, Qualys, Cortex XDR, OpenSCAP) with heavy Oracle/SQL Server data infrastructure. Active migration from Sybase to cloud identity (Okta adoption) and cloud ETL signals modernization underway, while projects track federal RFP delivery and government compliance programs — a hiring velocity (13 roles open in 30 days) concentrated in security and engineering aligns with contract-driven growth.
Avint delivers cybersecurity and physical security solutions to federal agencies, defense contractors, and intelligence organizations. The firm operates as a government-services vendor, with a business model centered on compliance, diagnostics, and security posture transformation — capabilities rooted in continuous monitoring and audit. Founded in 2018 by a former Booz Allen Hamilton executive and Air Force/FBI veteran, the company is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia. Core operational areas include managed security engineering, compliance documentation (federal standards), RFP response, and legacy system modernization. The technical footprint spans on-premises (Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase) and cloud infrastructure (Azure, Okta), reflecting an installed base of legacy federal systems alongside newer cloud-first deployments.
Splunk, Cortex XDR, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Nessus, Qualys, and OpenSCAP form the core monitoring and vulnerability layer. Oracle and SQL Server underpin data infrastructure, with Okta handling identity management after recent adoption.
Primary projects include federal HACS and ACAT I programs, RFP response and documentation, pre-sales engineering for new tool deployments, cybersecurity modernization initiatives, and migration of legacy Sybase environments to cloud-based identity and ETL infrastructure.
