Motivated to meet the moment.
Sevco Security is a cybersecurity software company born out of a deep motivation to fix a decades-old problem: attackers better understand their target networks than the network owners themselves.
Why are we so confident we’re the answer?
We’ve done this (many times) before. We are the founding team of Cylance and Carbon Black, the industry’s first AI prevention and endpoint detection & response platforms. These companies and technologies changed the game for Security Operations teams. Still, we recognized a clear problem: it was only effective where the endpoint agent was installed and updated, and getting to a comprehensive deployment was a hard problem. We sought to solve it - by providing the best damn visibility of all IT assets status and state in an organization.
Combined experience creates our unique perspective.

Our core values.
Obsess about customer problems.
We exist to solve customer problems.

Be responsible.
Employees have the freedom to act, but it requires personal responsibility.
Be authentic.
We all have strengths and weaknesses. Don’t waste energy pretending to be someone you aren’t.
Hustle.
We all make mistakes every day. Make them fast, learn, and drive forward.
Our core virtues.
Humble. Hungry. Smart.
What does Sevco mean?
"He conquers who conquers himself.”
The name “Sevco” is based on the Latin phrase se vincit, from the broader vincit qui se vincit: “He (she) conquers who conquers himself (herself)”. It reinforces the importance of strong asset discovery in cybersecurity: get your own assets under control and you will be victorious.
Turning vision into reality.
More than a role, it's a responsibility.
