Velari was founded on a simple, unshakable belief: the people who care for us when we're most vulnerable deserve technology that protects them — not technology that exposes them to risk, fines, and harm.
Most cybersecurity vendors treat healthcare as just another vertical. They sell the same tools to banks, retailers, and clinics alike. At Velari, we believe healthcare is different — because the stakes are human lives, not just quarterly earnings.
When a ransomware attack hits a hospital, it's not just data that's encrypted. It's access to medical records. It's the ability to administer medication. It's the difference between a patient getting timely care and waiting in a hallway while systems are restored. We saw too many security companies selling fear without understanding the clinical reality on the other side.
Velari exists to bridge that gap. We combine deep healthcare domain knowledge with practical, deployable security technology — designed for the realities of small and mid-size practices, not just enterprise hospitals with million-dollar security budgets.
"Healthcare cybersecurity isn't about checking boxes. It's about protecting the trust between a patient and their provider. When that trust breaks, everything breaks."
Every decision we make starts with one question: does this improve patient safety and trust? If the answer is no, we don't build it.
Enterprise-grade security capabilities should not require enterprise budgets. We design for practices with 5 providers and 500 — without compromising on rigor.
We will never tell you you're "100% secure" — because no one is. We will tell you exactly where you stand, what matters most, and how to improve.
These principles guide every product decision, client engagement, and strategic choice we make. They are non-negotiable.
Our tools never access, inspect, or store protected health information. We monitor network patterns and DNS queries — never packet contents. Your patients' data stays where it belongs: under your control.
Security that disrupts care is bad security. We design for deployment in 15 minutes, zero agents on clinical workstations, and no impact on EHR performance. Security should fade into the background — not create new friction.
We tell you what we find — good and bad. We explain our methodology. We show our work. There are no black boxes, no proprietary algorithms you can't understand, and no inflated threat reports designed to scare you into buying more.
Cybersecurity is a posture, not a project. The day after you pass an audit, a new zero-day vulnerability could emerge. We build for continuous monitoring and ongoing improvement — because the threat landscape never sleeps.
We understand the difference between a workstation in billing and one in patient care. We know why a medical device running Windows 7 can't simply be "patched." We speak your language because we've studied your world.
The best security tool is an informed team. We invest heavily in education — not just for CISOs, but for front-desk staff, nurses, and providers. A phishing-aware employee is worth more than any firewall.
One person, one mission, and a deep commitment to making healthcare security accessible.
Founder & Principal Consultant
Noah built Velari after recognizing a critical gap: small and mid-size healthcare practices were being left behind in the cybersecurity arms race. While enterprise hospitals could afford dedicated security teams and six-figure tooling, the family practice with twelve employees had nothing — and they were being targeted just as aggressively.
With a background in cloud infrastructure, a Security+ certification, and a deep passion for healthcare technology, Noah set out to build something different: a security platform and consulting practice designed specifically for the clinical environment, priced for the reality of small-practice budgets, and built with the belief that every patient deserves a provider who takes data protection seriously.
Today, Velari combines passive network monitoring technology with hands-on consulting services to deliver what Noah calls "security that understands healthcare." It's not about selling fear. It's about building trust — between providers and patients, and between practices and the technology that should protect them.

From recognizing a problem to building a solution — the story of why Velari exists.
While working with healthcare technology and studying the intersection of cloud infrastructure and clinical environments, a pattern emerged: every small practice faced the same threats as large hospitals, but had none of the same defenses. A 5-provider family clinic was just as likely to be hit by ransomware as a 500-bed hospital — but they had no security team, no budget for enterprise tools, and no one selling them solutions they could actually use.
Deep research into the healthcare threat landscape revealed something alarming: unauthorized AI usage by clinical staff had become the #1 health technology hazard of 2026. Nurses were pasting patient notes into ChatGPT. Doctors were using Claude to summarize records. No one was tracking it. No one had Business Associate Agreements. And no affordable tool existed to detect it. The problem wasn't just ransomware and phishing — it was invisible data leakage happening in plain sight.
Velari was built from the ground up with healthcare constraints in mind: passive monitoring that requires no agents on clinical workstations, DNS-based detection that never inspects packet contents, severity scoring that accounts for whether a device is in patient care or billing, and reporting that maps directly to HIPAA Security Rule controls. Every design choice was validated against one question: would this work in a real clinic, with real staff, on real networks?
Today, Velari exists to make enterprise-grade healthcare security accessible to practices of every size. Whether through our open-source detection platform, our managed security services, or our compliance consulting, our mission is singular: protect the providers who protect us. Because when a clinic's data is secure, their patients can focus on what matters most — getting better.
Our goals are ambitious because the problem is urgent. Here's what drives us every day.
