ARES Security Corporation

ARES Security Corporation

ARES Security Corporation was established in 2012 to commercialize the AVERT software platform, which was originally developed in 1999 in coordination with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to secure U.S. nuclear assets. The firm is headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, with additional offices in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Dubai, and Riyadh, and operates through a network of strategic partners in Cairo, Casablanca, and Kuwait. The company’s Enterprise Security Platform covers the full physical security lifecycle. Its modular AVERT solutions span security design and assessment, command and control, situation management, building information management, robotic operations, virtual training, and real-time decision support. The platform holds DHS SAFETY Act certification and accreditations from the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. Clients include government agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and Fortune 500 corporate enterprises across North America, the Middle East, and North Africa. ARES has expanded its capabilities through acquisitions and organic development, though it does not publicly disclose team size or financial metrics. In March 2025, the company entered a strategic distribution and integration agreement with ONYX, extending its reach into new security technology channels. The firm’s remote personnel and international strategic partners, including Cairo Communication Systems in Egypt and Global Projects in Kuwait, support deployments in the Middle East and Africa. ARES distinguishes itself through a rare accreditation footprint — it is one of the few commercial physical security platforms to hold both DHS SAFETY Act certification and simultaneous DoD and DoE accreditations. This regulatory posture creates a high barrier to entry for competitors and locks the platform into procurement frameworks for nuclear facilities and other national-security infrastructure.
