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.
