We ensure mission readiness by protecting critical infrastructure

Mission critical facilities depend on utilities, life safety, security, and building automation control systems to maintain readiness 24/7/365. Simplesense protects critical infrastructure from cyber attacks and unlocks previously siloed information to monitor, diagnose, and respond faster to events in real-time. Our adversaries rapidly adopt the latest technology: we help defense users respond in kind.

Our team combines over 100 years of direct mission experience solving hard problems with 50 years of technical expertise deploying DevSecOps, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure. We have a deep appreciation for our customers’ mission and end users’ priorities and build for scale – architecting and prioritizing technical work for long term success.
