About Shift5
At a glance

Shift5 provides operational technology cybersecurity and data intelligence solutions for military and commercial transportation fleets. Founded in 2019 by former U.S. Army Cyber Command officers who pioneered modern weapons system cyber assessments, the company focuses on securing and optimizing cyber-physical systems across aviation, ground vehicles, maritime vessels, and rail networks. The company's platform extracts and analyzes data from operational technology systems in transportation assets that traditionally lack visibility and communication capabilities. This enables near real-time threat detection, predictive maintenance, and operational insights for both defense and commercial customers. The platform retrofits existing systems with modern analytic capabilities without requiring replacement of legacy infrastructure. Shift5 serves both military and commercial sectors, working with defense customers to protect weapons systems and military vehicles, while also partnering with commercial aviation, rail, and maritime operators. The company has partnerships with Boeing, ForeFlight, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Carahsoft to deliver integrated solutions. Their approach combines OT cybersecurity expertise with compliance and predictive maintenance capabilities for cyber-physical systems. The company has raised $185 million in venture capital funding and employs over 100 people across five time zones. Their solutions address the unique challenges of transportation systems operating in remote or high-stakes environments where system failures can have critical consequences.
