Ava Security helps organizations see, understand, and act on their surroundings to protect their people, business, and reputation in real-time

At Ava, the team started with a small core group of engineers got together to find an industry where they could merge innovation, passion, and simplicity to help people reach their greatest potential. Their attention was drawn towards the world of security—indispensable to modern work, yet often overlooked and taken for granted. Organizations needed the tools to understand if something was happening in real-time to keep their people safe and their data and premises protected.

Ava Cyber was started in 2016, and Ava Video in 2018 and the two companies merged in 2020. Four years later, they embarked on the path to delivering unified security to enterprises around the world.

Ava is headquartered in Uxbridge (London) and have teams in the US, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and Poland.
