Shift5 uses hardware and software to deliver real-time visibility, operational insights, and cybersecurity for mission-critical systems in defense, aviation, and rail. The platform protects operational technology assets that traditional IT security tools cannot reach.

Shift5 has recruited multiple highly talented executives with extensive experience in security technology from companies like Armis and Tanium. There's a growing need for cybersecurity for fleets and transportation systems due to increasing digital components in vehicles, creating a major pain point for both commercial and government customers. Shift5 specifically targets the digital components within moving vehicles, allowing them to develop highly relevant and effective solutions for this complex and critical area. Shift5 offers a two-pronged value proposition. For government clients (like the US Department of Defense), the primary offering is OT security to protect against cyberattacks on critical weapons systems and vehicles. For commercial clients (like New Jersey Transit), the main product offering is the operationalization of fleet data, enabling improvements in maintenance, operations, compliance, and significant cost savings.
