Our roots trace back to the very beginnings of cybersecurity research, when a group of hackers worked around a pool table until they became profitable enough to order office furniture. They hung a pirate flag on the wall to represent their decision to do things differently. Those pioneers started AIS because they not only believed in the potential of the industry, but the necessity to provide the United States with the offensive and defensive capabilities needed to gain the high ground in cyber warfare.Decades later, the pirate flag waves tall outside of our headquarters, and we continue to develop and envision technologies that protect our nation and our warfighters.
