Our Mission
EVR:RDY is a veteran-led, open-source defensive cyber initiative focused on OT/ICS. Our mission is to deliver low-cost, practical solutions for defending critical infrastructure by uniting veteran expertise with civilian innovation.
We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

The Challenge
Critical infrastructure faces three major cybersecurity challenges that traditional solutions fail to address effectively.
Underfunding
Most organizations do not allocate or have the funds to properly secure ICS/OT, leaving critical areas under-resourced.
High Cost Solutions
Leading OT/ICS cybersecurity platforms often start out of the range of small organization.
Workforce Shortage
The U.S. faces a cybersecurity workforce gap of 0+ unfilled jobs, with 67% of organizations reporting shortages.
Our Solution
Two lines of effort: T.A.P.S. (Telemetry Acquisition Platform Solution) and TacSOC (Tactical Security Operations Center).
Affordable Protection
TacSOC pools customers, leveraging Chronicle to share licenses and undercut costs.
Low-Cost Infrastructure
SEER, GHOST and RAMPART replace expensive OT appliances with affordable with opensourced alternatives. T.A.P.S avoids expensive OT sensing solutions .
Scalable Talent Pipeline
TacSOC automates Tier-1, accelerates analysts from Tier-2 to Tier-3 through mentorship, and spins up new Hunter/Killer Teams — multiplying skilled defenders faster than traditional pipelines.
Our Structure
EVR:RDY is built on a dual‑track model working together to solve the toughest challenges in critical infrastructure defense.
Defensive Operations Group
This is our current effort to develop opensource and affordable infrastructure. While open source is powerful, most businesses need a trusted partner like EVR:RDY TacSOC and vendor-backed support. Revenue fuels the ability to safeguard more networks, provide competitive pay, and share equity with employees. Many organizations won’t adopt open source alone because they don’t have the resources or workforce to maintain it — that’s where we step in..
Foundation for Critical Infrastructure Defense
Future non-profit arm will pursues grants, partnerships, and collaborations to build training pipelines for veterans and civilians. This includes outreach to the veteran community, creating pathways into cyber careers. Together, these efforts expand workforce development and strengthen critical infrastructure defense.
The vision: Mission and market reinforce each other — open collaboration drives innovation while sustainable services scale protection.
Become Part of the Work
We seek talented, passionate individuals from academia and the ICS cybersecurity industry to collaborate, contribute, and lead as part of the EVR:RDY Foundation. This includes opportunities to serve as board members, guide our open-source OT security projects, and help shape training pipelines for both veterans and civilians.
