UltraViolet Cyber is the only security operations partner that unifies red, blue, and purple team capabilities into one integrated program — finding what's vulnerable, stopping active threats, and validating that your defenses hold under real pressure. Built by former U.S. intelligence community operators with 30+ years of experience, we serve 400+ Global 2000 enterprises and federal agencies. Our practitioner-led and AI-accelerated closed-loop operations turn offensive findings into defensive weapons immediately — so gaps close in real time and defenses improve before attackers can exploit what testing uncovers. Offense informs defense. Defense sharpens offense. Security that gets smarter — and stronger — with every iteration. 

UltraViolet is at the forefront of AI security — purpose-built to test, validate, and govern the AI systems organizations are deploying today. From adversarial testing of models, pipelines, and agents to pre-production threat modeling and board-ready governance frameworks, UltraViolet brings the same offensive and defensive rigor to AI that it applies across the enterprise. UltraViolet is ranked #19 on the Top 250 MSSP List and is headquartered in McLean, Virginia. Learn more at uvcyber.com.
