Nexxis Solutions operates at the sharp end of defense software engineering, delivering system-level work directly to the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community across more than 30 active contracts. The company's technical remit spans the full spectrum of classified infrastructure needs: computer network operations, active defense, embedded engineering, reverse engineering, and information assurance. This isn't advisory theater - cleared engineers here work mission-critical systems where uptime and operational security are non-negotiable. The technical stack reflects the reality of modern defense work: Java, C, C++, and Python for core systems; containerized deployments via Kubernetes and Docker; big data tooling including Hadoop, Apache Spark, and MongoDB; and cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. Engineers engage with multi-sensor integration, large-scale data collection and analysis, high-performance computing environments, and increasingly, machine learning pipelines for operational intelligence. The threat model is state-level adversaries; the operational tempo is continuous. Founded by veterans from Praxis Engineering, Nexxis maintains technical depth in domains where precision matters - reverse engineering adversary capabilities, hardening enterprise IT infrastructure, and building systems for computer network operations. The work requires security clearances and operates under the constraints of classified environments, but the technical challenges are substantive: integrating heterogeneous sensor data at scale, engineering defensive capabilities that adapt to evolving threats, and building resilient systems that function under adversarial conditions.

REST Solution runs a 24/7 managed security and IT operation from 10 locations worldwide, with three dedicated service centers handling everything from SOC detection and response to cloud migration support. Founded in 2016, the 80-person team operates round-the-clock monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management for businesses across multiple continents. The stack is standard enterprise: AWS and Azure for cloud, VMware vSphere and ESXi for virtualization, RHEL/AlmaLinux/Ubuntu on the Linux side, Windows Server with Active Directory and Group Policy on the Microsoft side, plus EDR/SIEM/XDR tooling for security operations. The service model is straightforward outsourced IT - network monitoring, infrastructure management, user support, and strategic IT oversight delivered continuously. They position as an extension of clients' internal teams, handling everything from baseline infrastructure monitoring to active incident response. Automation runs through Ansible, scripting through Python, PowerShell, and Bash. Core technical domains include vulnerability management, SOC operations, and cloud migration, with emphasis on proactive detection rather than just reactive patching. Operating since 2016 with a distributed global presence, REST Solution targets general business clients rather than vertical-specific deployments. The threat model they address is operational continuity: minimizing downtime, maintaining security posture across hybrid environments, and providing scalable IT capacity without building internal teams. It's a managed services play with security operations embedded throughout, not a pure-play SOC or consultancy.

We build software that helps financial advisors focus on what matters most - their clients. Since 1999, we've been creating technology that handles the complex stuff like portfolio accounting, compliance, trading, and reporting, so advisors can spend more time building relationships and growing their businesses. Our platform connects all the pieces of running a financial advisory firm into one system, from onboarding new clients to ongoing portfolio management and everything in between. What started as a portfolio accounting solution has grown into a comprehensive wealthtech platform that serves thousands of advisory firms managing over a trillion dollars in assets. We've acquired and integrated several companies along the way - Redtail CRM, Advizr, HiddenLevers, Brinker Capital, and others - to create what we call a 'most-in-one' solution. Our team knows the industry inside and out because many of us came from financial services ourselves, so we understand the real challenges advisors face every day.
