Org structure, founder specification, lineage timeline, membership records.
Aleks Security Cyber Intelligence Inc., trading as ASEC, is a Toronto offensive-security firm founded in 2015. This document enumerates the working organizational structure, the founder credential set, the ten-year community lineage through DC416 (DEFCON Toronto), and the four federally-relevant industry memberships ASEC participates in.
The document is intentionally sparse on biography prose and dense on specification rows. Readers comparing vendors on RFP shortlists or procurement panels are expected to lift the rows directly.
Specification entries reserved for senior offensive-security engineers, IR consultants, and platform engineers. Names, credentials, and engagement-history columns are populated when the ASEC team supplies the personnel record.
