About Us

Purpose Built for Planes, Trains, and Tanks

Shift5 was created by founding members of the U.S. Army Cyber Command who pioneered modern weapon systems cyber assessments. Shift5 defends onboard military platforms and commercial transportation systems against malicious actors and operational failures.

Move Quickly from Data to Decisions.

Shift5 built an entirely new model that brings order to the complexity of onboard data flowing from planes, trains, tanks, and weapon systems.

The Shift5 platform captures and analyzes real-time onboard OT data, revealing the critical operational and cybersecurity insights needed to move from data to decisions quickly and confidently.

Our Focus

Shift5 is tackling a difficult problem in a way that’s never been done before. Our opportunity is significant, and our ability to make change is meaningful. We support the defenders and the data-driven decisions makers on the front lines of national security.

Shift5 is building a smarter, safer, and more secure world by creating resilient and mission-ready fleets.

We accomplish this through practicing four core values:


  • Maximize our real world impact

    Shift5 focuses on the products and solutions that save lives and affect millions of people. Every decision we make supports the safety and security of planes, trains, and tanks.


  • Solve hard problems with rapid, quality solutions

    We face interesting technical challenges. We solve and rapidly deploy creative solutions into the hands of users.


  • Operate with integrity

    We can’t do our jobs without privileged access. With trust comes great responsibility. We provide honest information to our customers and each other.


  • Be Collaborative

    The complexity and magnitude of the problems Shift5 solves means no one person can deliver alone. We are heavily team oriented.
