Zero-trust cybersecurity platform securing data exchange and access control for space, defense, and edge computing environments

About

SpiderOak is a U.S.-owned cybersecurity company that develops zero-trust security software for space, defense, and edge computing environments. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia, the company builds tools that embed access control, data protection, and secure messaging into mission-critical systems without relying on network or third-party security infrastructure. Its flagship product, OrbitSecure, provides transport-agnostic, quantum-resilient end-to-end encryption with topic-level data segmentation and decentralized authentication for satellite communications and tactical edge operations. OrbitSecure has demonstrated flight heritage through on-orbit deployments on a Ball Aerospace payload in LEO and aboard the International Space Station via Axiom Space. SpiderOak holds contracts with the Space Development Agency for next-generation high-assurance encryption within the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture and with the Air Force Research Laboratory for the CASR control plane. The company also serves the commercial UAS market through its Blue UAS cybersecurity assessment program and has raised approximately $35 million in venture funding.
