NexThreat is a cybersecurity services company focused primarily on serving U.S. government agencies and defense-related clients. The company is certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and is onboarded to the Navy Seaport NxG contract vehicle, indicating its eligibility for federal contracting. It was founded by Ruben Gavilan, a U.S. Navy veteran and former cryptologist whose career spans work with defense contractors, law enforcement agencies, and large corporations such as Visa Inc. and Morgan Stanley. NexThreat's core services include continuous network monitoring, system patching and updating, data encryption, and protection against malware, unauthorized access, and data breaches. The company also engages in offensive cyber activities such as network infiltration and external surveillance to support its security assessments. A key area of focus is SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) technology, with the company reporting measurable outcomes including a 70% reduction in false positives, a 75%+ reduction in duplicate records, a 35% increase in overall efficiency, and a 4–5x increase in use cases. NexThreat also addresses regulatory compliance requirements, specifically NIST standards and NSA cybersecurity guidelines, which are mandatory for government agencies handling private, sensitive, or classified data. In 2024, NexThreat acquired MelkoTech, expanding its capabilities. The company targets government agencies at various levels and tailors its security solutions to the specific operational and budgetary needs of each client.
