OPSWAT Opens New Cybersecurity Lab and Office in Arlington, VA

Critical infrastructure protection leader expands federal presence and national commitment to cybersecurity in the National Capital Region

ARLINGTON, Va., May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OPSWAT, a global leader in critical infrastructure protection (CIP), has officially opened the doors to its new Arlington, Virginia office and state-of-the-art CIP cybersecurity lab. The expansion deepens OPSWAT's commitment to U.S. federal cybersecurity while reinforcing its support for the broader national security and economic ecosystem.

The grand opening featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Virginia State Senator Barbara Favola (District 40), with further remarks by Arlington County Board Chair Takis Karontonis and Kate Bates, President and CEO of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. In addition, representatives from federal agencies, regional tech companies, and public sector leaders were in attendance.

"This is more than a new office—it's a reaffirmation of our mission to protect the critical infrastructure that keeps our nation running," said Benny Czarny, Founder and CEO of OPSWAT. "With our roots in federally-funded innovation and a growing portfolio of federal clients, Arlington is the right place for our next chapter."

Key Highlights:

• OPSWAT was founded in the U.S. in 2002 and continues to grow its domestic workforce, with local hiring in the Washington, D.C. area.
• U.S.-based manufacturing and a reliable national supply chain support all federal-focused products.
• Revenue has grown at a rate of more than 35% year over year since 2023.
• OPSWAT solutions help federal agencies achieve strong cybersecurity outcomes with fewer resources—especially vital as budgets tighten.

Federal-Focused Solutions Include:

• Network Detection & Response (NDR): Automated threat, breach, and exfiltration detection with full network visibility.
• Fend Data Diodes: Rugged communication devices for secure, one-way data exfiltration from critical networks, operational technology, and legacy platforms.
• MetaDefender NetWall^®: Secure, unidirectional gateways for safe data exchange between networks of varying classification levels.
• MetaDefender InSights: Real-time intelligence on indicators of compromise (IOCs), command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, and adversary activity.

The Arlington expansion is a natural evolution following OPSWAT's acquisitions of Fend and InQuest—two cybersecurity innovators born from U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense challenges. Together, they reflect OPSWAT's deep understanding of government needs and its ability to translate that into deployable, commercial-grade technology.

"This is the perfect time to be here in Washington, D.C.," added Czarny. "We're proud to support not only federal agencies, but also the broader economy—from tech innovators to manufacturers—who all play a part in securing America's future."
