Darede, founded in 2013 and operating out of Brazil and Portugal, is a cloud consulting firm whose security practice sits inside a broader DevSecOps, migration, and modernization stack. The team holds over 400 AWS certifications - a number that signals depth in Amazon's security tooling, IAM models, and cloud-native threat surfaces. Their technical domains explicitly include Security alongside DevOps/DevSecOps, Managed Services, and 24x7 monitoring, meaning security engineers here aren't bolted on after the fact; they're embedded in the infrastructure lifecycle from migration through ongoing operations.
The product lineup covers the operational ground you'd expect: cloud consulting, managed services, database management, and round-the-clock monitoring. Notably, they also offer Amazon Connect with AI capabilities and work across Big Data, Machine Learning, and Generative AI - domains where data exposure, model security, and access control are live concerns. For a security-focused hire, that means working across environments where the threat model spans misconfigured IAM policies, insecure data pipelines, and AI-specific attack vectors, not just perimeter defense.
Darede has been certified as a Great Place to Work multiple times and is recognized for diversity and inclusion practices. The firm serves both SMB and enterprise clients across multiple industries, which suggests varied security postures and compliance requirements across engagements - a useful signal for anyone looking to build range rather than repeat the same hardened template.
