Shift5 is a defense-focused cybersecurity and operational technology (OT) intelligence company founded by former officers who helped stand up the U.S. Army Cyber Command and pioneered modern weapons-system cyber assessments.
The company protects military and commercial fleets from operational failures and cyber threats by transforming previously untapped onboard system data into actionable intelligence.
Founded in 2019, Shift5 has grown to 100+ employees across five time zones and raised $185M in venture funding.
Its platform delivers deep visibility into cyber-physical systems—enabling predictive maintenance, compliance, anomaly detection, and real-time cyber resilience for aviation, rail, and defense platforms.
By bridging private-sector innovation with national security challenges, Shift5 supports warfighters, strengthens critical infrastructure, and partners with organizations such as Boeing, Booz Allen, Carahsoft, and ForeFlight to modernize fleet cybersecurity and operational readiness.
