Our Story

AKS Cyber was founded to fill a critical gap in Alaska’s cybersecurity landscape. After years of working with various providers, our founder noticed a troubling trend — nearly every “local” penetration testing service in Alaska was actually outsourcing the work to companies in the lower 48. This practice meant higher costs, delayed responses, and no real on-site presence when it mattered most. AKS Cyber was created to change that. By keeping expertise in-state, we provide high-quality offensive cybersecurity services at reasonable prices — with the ability to send professionals directly to your location without the cost or logistics of flying someone in from thousands of miles away.

Looking Ahead

While we specialize in offensive cybersecurity services today, AKS Cyber is already planning to expand our offerings. Future services will include:

  • Optional MSP services for clients who need a more hands-on approach.
  • Tailored compliance packages to help you meet complex requirements such as CMMC, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more.
  • Specialized testing and consulting services that address both technical security and regulatory obligations.

Our Approach
We believe in partnership, not competition. AKS Cyber does not aim to replace or undercut your Managed Service Provider (MSP) — we work alongside them. Our goal is to strengthen your cybersecurity posture so your team can confidently demonstrate readiness when an attack occurs. By collaborating with MSPs, IT departments, and compliance teams, we ensure that security improvements integrate smoothly into your existing operations.

Our Community Commitment
We believe that strong businesses help build strong communities. That’s why a portion of our profits goes directly toward supporting nonprofit and community programs that make a real difference in Alaska. Whether it’s funding resources for those in need, supporting youth initiatives, or contributing to emergency relief efforts, AKS Cyber is committed to giving back to the state we call home. Our work is about more than cybersecurity — it’s about investing in the people and communities that make Alaska strong.
