Advens exists to protect organizations from cyberthreats, but this is not their only purpose. As a European, independent cybersecurity leader founded in 2000, Advens seeks to have an impact on the world, society, and lives. With 600+ experts across France and Europe, the company provides 24/7 protection through mySOC, their sovereign SOC-as-a-Service platform, incident response via CERT Advens, and offensive security services. In 2025, Advens became B Corp™ certified, recognizing their commitment to balancing profit with purpose. Guided by the conviction that vulnerability is not a weakness but the starting point for strength, Advens has structured its business model around two entities: the cybersecurity company and the Advens for People and Planet endowment fund. Through a financial retrocession mechanism, as the company grows, it contributes to funding societal initiatives in education, inclusion, democracy, and sustainability. This mission-driven approach - making cybersecurity accessible while reinvesting in positive change - demonstrates that economic, social, and environmental value creation can grow together.

adesso Netherlands is the Dutch arm of the adesso Group, a European IT service provider with over 11,000 professionals across 60+ locations. The company delivers IT consulting and software services with teams that work across software engineering, data science, digital transformation, and client-facing implementation. Their technical stack spans Azure, Microsoft Power Platform, SAP, and modern development tooling including Java, Kotlin, Python, Docker, and Kubernetes, alongside data infrastructure like Databricks, Snowflake, and dbt. The company positions itself as maintaining the agility of a close-knit team while drawing on the scale of its European parent organization. Projects involve working directly with clients to implement technical solutions, with teams combining business domain knowledge and engineering execution. Communication lines run direct, hierarchy stays minimal, and employees are expected to take ownership of project direction and internal propositions. Knowledge-sharing sessions, tech tours, and team events supplement the core work. Technical roles include data scientists working with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Keras; software engineers building with Spring Boot, Hibernate, and RESTful APIs; and consultants managing client relationships and implementation strategy. The culture emphasizes continuous learning and collaborative problem-solving over credential signaling, with senior colleagues serving as both technical challengers and support structure. For practitioners who want client exposure, cross-domain work, and the space to shape how projects run, the setup offers more autonomy than typical consultancy roles - though the trade-off is the inherent variability of services work.
