Shift5

Shift5 (operating at shift5.io) is an Operational Intelligence platform engineered for defense and transportation systems, transforming untapped operational technology (OT) into actionable insights. Founded in 2019 by Josh Lospinoso and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, Shift5 specializes in cybersecurity solutions that bridge the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern threat detection. Under the hood, its platform combines hardware and software to prevent, detect, log, alert, and mitigate cyber threats on OT platforms—enabling near-real-time monitoring of critical systems. This allows defense contractors, commercial aviation, passenger rail, and freight operators to enhance operational resilience, reduce downtime, and fortify cyber defenses. Backed by $185M in venture capital funding, Shift5 empowers mission-critical industries to secure their infrastructure against evolving threats.
