Industry analysis & approach

Why Aerospace & Defense Chooses AdVran

Defense contractors and aerospace firms face some of the most rigorous cybersecurity requirements in any sector. CMMC 2.0, ITAR, and NIST 800-171 demand not just documentation but verifiable, continuous security controls across every system that touches Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

Our Approach

AdVran operates as a unified MSP and MSSP, meaning the same team that manages your IT infrastructure also secures it. For defense clients, this eliminates the gap between “IT did their part” and “security wasn’t aware,” a gap that auditors and adversaries both exploit.

What This Looks Like in Practice

  • Network segmentation between CUI and non-CUI environments, managed and monitored 24/7
  • Encrypted endpoints with centrally managed policies that satisfy NIST AC and SC control families
  • Audit-ready documentation maintained in real time, not assembled before an assessment
  • Insider threat detection using behavioral analytics tuned to defense-sector risk patterns

The AdVran Advantage

Why pay for a separate IT provider and a separate security consultant when one team can do both, with full accountability and a single monthly cost? AdVran gives defense contractors the operational reliability of a managed service provider and the threat-hunting rigor of a security operations center, unified under one roof.
