Frequently asked questions
What is the origin of ARES Security's technology?
The AVERT software was developed in 1999 in coordination with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to protect U.S. nuclear assets. ARES Security Corporation was formed in 2012 specifically to commercialize and expand that government-developed technology for broader industry use.
What accreditations does the AVERT platform hold?
AVERT solutions are accredited by the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, and the platform is DHS SAFETY Act certified. This combination of federal validations is unusual for a commercial physical security product.
How does ARES Security's platform integrate physical and cyber security?
The Enterprise Security Platform covers the entire physical security lifecycle, from initial security design and threat assessment to real-time command and control, virtual training, and robotic operations. It does not natively provide cybersecurity tools but integrates physical security data for a unified operational picture.
Does ARES Security operate outside the United States?
Yes. In addition to its Vienna, Virginia headquarters and Marlborough, Massachusetts office, ARES Security maintains offices in Dubai and Riyadh. It works with strategic partners in Egypt, Morocco, and Kuwait to serve clients in the Middle East and Africa.
What industries or sectors does ARES Security primarily serve?
The platform is deployed across government agencies, critical infrastructure and utilities, and Fortune 500 corporate enterprises. Its nuclear-security heritage makes it particularly relevant for energy facilities, defense sites, and other high-consequence assets.
