Assured Information Security celebrated its 25th anniversary on Tuesday, June 9, marking a quarter century of innovation, growth and mission-driven impact in the cyber and information security industry, according to company officials.
Founded in 2001 by a team with roots in the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate, AIS began as a small software company supporting Air Force and Department of Defense cyber technology research. Twenty-five years later, AIS — which is headquartered at 153 Brooks Road on the Griffiss Business and Technology Park in Rome — has grown into a nationally recognized cyber and information security company employing approximately 200 people nationwide and delivering advanced capabilities that support government, defense and commercial partners across the globe.
The morning portion of the anniversary event featured a community charity initiative benefiting The Humane Society of Rome, Feed Our Vets and United Way of the Mohawk Valley. AIS employees collected donations and essential items for each organization, and AIS presented each nonprofit with a $2,000 contribution in recognition of their impact throughout the region.
“Giving back to the community has always been an important part of who we are as a company,” Green said. “Rome and the Mohawk Valley have played an important role in our success over the last 25 years. This anniversary is not only an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been, but also to recognize the people and organizations around us that help make the region a great place to live, work and grow.”
AIS has long prioritized community engagement alongside its mission work, supporting initiatives including blood drives with the American Red Cross, youth STEM and drone education programs, food and toy drives, veteran support initiatives and partnerships with regional educational institutions and nonprofit organizations, officials added.
