Alpha & Omega Think Tank (AOTT)

Main Service(s)

AOTT is a boutique cyber security consultancy, focusing on fusing business and security. This combination is reflected in the service catalogue: the company is active in helping companies become ISO and NIS 2.0 compliant, as well as providing experts to fill the gap in your security or compliance team.

Attracting great (security and IT) talent is difficult. This statement has always been true, but doubly so in our sector. Talent scarcity is also one of the main principles on which AOTT is being built.

The company looks for people which possess the combination of technical prowess, drive and social skills. They try to attract this talent by providing the basics (a great atmosphere, an attractive compensation package,..). But more importantly, they provide opportunities for accelerated growth. This might be in the practitioner realm (i.e.: how can I improve my knowledge, skills and experience in the most effective way), in the entrepreneurial realm (i.e.: how do I structure and set up my own company).

AOTT then makes these people available to companies looking for able and driven individuals in the cybersecurity or IT field, with the promise that these individuals are able to provide high-quality, added-value work.

Key differentiators

Focus on attracting high-quality talent

AOTT looks for people which possess the combination of technical prowess, drive and social skills. To attract this talent, the company of course provides great perks (i.e. compensation,...), but also some perks which might not be available in other companies. For example:

• Visibility in the workings of the company
  • - Insight in the revenue the individuals generate and how it flows back into the company and ultimately to them.
  • - Insight in the sales funnel and how much work it takes to go from lead to customer.
• Personal growth
  • - Above average opportunities (and expectation) for upskilling
  • - Regular networking events with successful people “who have done it before”

Of course, the promise to AOTT customers is that these high performing individuals leverage their skills, knowledge and expertise in the work they do for them.

Future plans and direction

AOTT is a relatively young company (founded in 2020) and is now focusing both on attracting more talent and servicing additional customers.
