Service Beyond Service

Service-Beyond-Service

When Alec Hall launched Alliance Cyber in 2021 on Florida’s Space Coast, his goal was simple but ambitious: protect organizations with trusted cybersecurity solutions—and give back to the communities that shaped him.

That mission has earned national attention. Hall was recently honored as the 2025 Vetrepreneur® of the Year by Military Friendly®, recognizing Veteran-owned businesses that exemplify leadership, innovation and community impact.

“I’m immensely grateful for this recognition. Being named Vetrepreneur® of the Year isn’t an individual achievement—it’s a credit to the people who’ve believed in me, the team that shows up every day to make a difference and the Veterans everywhere who keep finding new ways to serve after the military,” Hall said. “This award is my reminder of how powerful service can be when it’s fueled by purpose, teamwork and heart.”

Mission-Driven from the Start

Alliance Cyber’s success story is rooted in Hall’s 30 years of experience in cyber operations and workforce development—both in and out of uniform. A U.S. Air Force Veteran of 28 years, Hall co-authored the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education while serving at the Pentagon and represented the White House’s Joining Forces initiative as a spokesperson. Those experiences shaped a corporate culture grounded in service.

Alliance Cyber provides high-quality IT and cybersecurity solutions, including compliance support, managed IT, structured cabling and risk management.

But it also devotes significant time and resources to helping others.

Through its nonprofit arm, the Alliance Cyber Gives Foundation, the company donates cybersecurity services to local nonprofits, teaches cybersecurity courses at Brevard Adult Continuing Education, and funds annual “Bright Ideas” Classroom Grants that support STEM education at Cocoa High School and nearby schools.

The company also helped launch Military TransitionCON, an event designed to help service members and military spouses bridge the gap between military service and civilian careers. The model is now being replicated nationwide.

Alliance Cyber’s technical expertise and social responsibility has made it a trusted partner for both government and commercial clients. Its nonprofit cybersecurity toolkit has helped organizations such as the Brevard Homeless Coalition, Family Promise of Brevard, and the Community Foundation for Brevard modernize and secure their systems.

Recognition That Fuels the Mission

Hall was chosen via public voting to represent Florida before winning the Vetrepreneur® of the Year award.

Alliance Cyber was also recently named one of NaVOBA’s Veteran Business Enterprises We Love 2025, adding a second national award in the same month.
