OPSWAT operates in the narrow, consequential space where IT and OT converge - the infrastructure that actually keeps things running. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Tampa, the company builds layered defense systems for environments where failure isn't an option: nuclear facilities, power plants, water treatment systems, government networks, and industrial control systems globally. The threat model is specific: adversaries targeting critical infrastructure, where a breach means physical consequences, not just data loss.
The MetaDefender Platform serves as the backbone of OPSWAT's approach, combining threat prevention, secure data transfer, and advanced threat detection into a single architecture. The company's product stack extends across endpoint protection, file security, network access control, industrial firewall solutions, and cloud security services - each domain mapped to the particular vulnerabilities of IT/OT/ICS environments. Trust metrics point to operational reality: 98% of U.S. nuclear power facilities rely on OPSWAT's tools, and over 1,700 organizations worldwide depend on the systems.
The company's customer base reflects where the stakes concentrate - critical infrastructure operators who can't tolerate the latency or architectural friction that commodity security solutions impose. After two decades in the space, OPSWAT has built depth in the technical domains that matter most when you're protecting systems designed for availability and resilience first, not security retrofitting.
