Startup OP[4] comes Online

Chantilly, Va., March 23, 2023: OP[4], a startup built on cybersecurity technology originally developed for DARPA and productized via AFWERX, launched today with over $2 million dollars in initial seed funding secured through a combination of product sales and private investment.

OP[4]’s security platform is designed to automatically find and fix N-Day and 0-Day vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices and embedded systems. Already delivering the software-as-a-service product to the US government, the company is preparing to release industry-specific versions for Consumer IoT, Aerospace & Defense, and Telecommunications markets this Spring. These solutions will support the White House’s national cybersecurity IoT labeling initiative launching later this year.

“As IoT devices become increasingly prevalent, we aim to provide the commercial sector with the same level of protection and privacy as nation states,” said OP[4] co-founder and CEO, Irby Thompson, in a press release. “Our technology empowers device manufacturers, integrators, and critical infrastructure operators to create safer, more reliable products faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.”

The power of OP[4]’s platform lies in its innovative ability to simulate a running device, allowing it to differentiate between active and inactive code and assess risk at the binary level. OP[4]’s fully automated system continuously and accurately detects, isolates, validates, classifies, prioritizes, and remediates N-Day and 0-Day vulnerabilities. This enables product development teams to concentrate first on addressing mission-critical vulnerabilities across their entire software supply chain, reducing risk and enhancing time to market.
