Securing and Controlling Data in Motion

Dispersive® Stealth Networking (Dispersive Holdings, Inc.) is a preemptive cybersecurity platform that makes data in motion invisible, resilient, and fully under an organization's control. Built on a multi-path, quantum-resilient architecture that is FIPS 140-3 compliant and aligned with NIST-standardized algorithms, including ML-KEM, the platform exists for one purpose: to give organizations control over how their data moves and who can see it moving. Whether protecting a trading floor's connection to the cloud, a hospital's patient records, or a defense agency's critical mission communications, the outcome is the same: data in motion that can't be intercepted, a network that can't be mapped, and operations that continue even when the underlying infrastructure is degraded or under attack. That translates directly to business results: up to 10x faster throughput, up to 20% lower latency, and up to 40% lower total cost of ownership, without replacing the infrastructure you already have..

A Recognized Leader in Preemptive Cybersecurity

Gartner projects that preemptive cybersecurity, security that acts before an attack succeeds rather than detecting it afterward, will grow from under 5% of IT security spending in 2024 to 50% by 2030. Dispersive is named by Gartner as an example vendor in two of this category's core capabilities: Automated Moving Target Defense, which continuously shifts network paths and resources so attackers can't map or predict them, and Advanced Obfuscation, which conceals sensitive assets and data so they remain invisible and functionally unreachable to adversaries. Both capabilities describe exactly what Dispersive's transport-layer architecture already does: constantly shifting, constantly concealed, and built to make an attack impossible to execute rather than merely difficult to complete.

Our Mission and Our Story

At Dispersive, we believe security should be invisible, effortless, and uncompromising. Our mission is to give organizations nation-state-proof networking that is faster, smarter, and more resilient, so they can operate with confidence in an unpredictable world. Organizations rely on Dispersive for:

  • Seamless Zero Trust Access – Securely connect users, devices, and workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
  • Unbreakable Resilience – Self-healing, multi-path networking ensures uninterrupted operations, even in high-risk environments.
  • Cost & Complexity Reduction – Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by as much as 40% with a simple, scalable, and adaptable solution, as seen in large cloud transformation projects.
  • Performance at Scale – Up to 10X faster throughput against industry-standard security solutions for edge-to-cloud access, especially under high-latency and high packet loss.

A Track Record in High-Consequence Environments

Dispersive is trusted by organizations in government and defense, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and technology, where security and performance cannot be compromised. From safeguarding patient data and securing financial transactions to protecting operational networks and enabling digital transformation, our technology ensures mission-critical connectivity in the most demanding environments. Validated by the United States Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community, Dispersive is the go-to solution for industries that require both cutting-edge security and high-performance networking in environments where downtime, interception, or instability carry consequential operational and financial stakes.

Federal and Defense

Select federal programs, including the Department of Homeland Security, rely on Dispersive to maintain mission-critical communications in contested, remote, or degraded environments, preserving continuity even when traditional links are disrupted.

Enterprise Edge Infrastructure

In a multi-month engagement with American Tower and Vertical Data, Dispersive delivered up to 30% throughput improvement, sub-second autonomous failover, and enhanced traffic segmentation for high-throughput workloads at the network edge, without replacing the underlying infrastructure.

Regulated Industries

Financial services and other regulated institutions use Dispersive to secure sensitive data in motion across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, strengthening compliance posture while reducing reliance on compensating controls.

Global Infrastructure

In a Gartner-documented deployment, a satcom-as-a-service provider serving government, public safety, and commercial customers adopted an AMTD-based stealth networking approach ahead of a major infrastructure launch, continuously splitting network traffic across multiple physical paths while rotating encryption keys at shifting intervals. The result: person-in-the-middle attacks became impossible to execute, and intercepted traffic remained unusable even against future decryption attempts.

Enterprise-Ready Reach

DARPA-Incubated

Dispersive's core architecture originated in U.S. Department of Defense programs, engineered for environments where traffic detection results in mission compromise and where resilience must be maintained under active attack. That lineage underpins every commercial deployment.

53 Patents Granted

Dispersive holds 53 granted patents covering multipath fragmentation, dynamic path selection, independent per-channel encryption, and stealth transport. The architecture is proprietary and purpose-built, not assembled from commodity components.

AWS Defense Accelerator

In 2022, Dispersive was one of only two U.S. companies selected for the AWS Defense Accelerator. Dispersive is an AWS ISV-A partner, available on the AWS Commercial Marketplace and the AWS IC Marketplace.

Ahead of the Mandate: Post-Quantum Cryptography

In June 2026, the White House issued an Executive Order requiring all High Value Assets, National Security Systems, and covered defense contractors to transition to post-quantum cryptography by December 31, 2030, with a further deadline for digital signatures by December 31, 2031, independently confirmed by Gartner's own analysis of the order. The mandate is built around NIST-standardized algorithms, including ML-KEM for key exchange, as the countermeasure against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks, where adversaries capture encrypted data today in order to decrypt it once quantum computing makes that possible.

Dispersive is FIPS 140-3 compliant and aligned with NIST-standardized ML-KEM today. Our segmentation and per-channel encryption architecture goes beyond the order's baseline: defeating it requires an adversary to capture not just the data, but every segment across every dynamic path, plus the precise latency metadata for each one, a practical impossibility the order doesn't yet contemplate. Formal NSA recognition remains an open priority we're actively pursuing, not yet a certification we hold.

Our Leadership

The Dispersive leadership team brings experience from enterprise networking, government intelligence, military communications, and large-scale infrastructure. This is not a team that theorized the problem from the outside. They operated in environments where the consequences of failure were not financial.

Government & Defense Background
Core team members bring direct experience from intelligence community and defense environments. The threat model Dispersive® Stealth Networking was built to address is one they encountered firsthand.

Security & Compliance Depth
The team has operated at the intersection of regulatory compliance, audit requirements, and operational security across financial services, critical infrastructure, and federal contexts.

Enterprise & Carrier Experience
Leadership includes veterans of large-scale carrier networking, enterprise infrastructure, and cloud platform architecture. The product was designed to work in real operational environments, not clean lab conditions.

FAQs

Yes. Dispersive integrates with SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments, securing remote access to cloud applications without impacting performance.

 

Dispersive's zero-trust architecture and encrypted, multi-path traffic routing align with regulatory standards such as NIST, HIPAA, and GDPR.

Unlike VPNs and SD-WANs, which rely on static connections and single-path encryption, Dispersive uses multi-path, stealth networking to dynamically split and encrypt traffic across multiple secure channels. This eliminates attack surfaces, improves resilience, and enhances performance, making it a next-generation alternative for secure connectivity.

Dispersive offers flexible deployment options to meet diverse security and performance needs. DispersiveCloud, our cloud-native SaaS solution, deploys in minutes with low-code/no-code orchestration and integrates seamlessly with existing Identity Providers (IDPs). For organizations requiring on-premises control, DispersiveFabric delivers the same stealth networking capabilities within private data centers or hybrid environments. Both solutions work as overlay or underlay architectures, requiring minimal infrastructure changes for fast, scalable implementation.

 

Most network security tools, VPNs, ZTNA, SD-WAN, and SASE, control who can access a network or encrypt a single path between two points. Dispersive works underneath all of them, at the transport layer, making the data itself invisible and unpredictable in motion. Dispersive deploys alongside your existing security stack rather than replacing it.

 

Yes. Dispersive's segmentation and per-channel encryption architecture already exceeds the baseline set by the 2026 federal Executive Order on post-quantum cryptography, and Dispersive is FIPS 140-3 compliant and aligned with NIST-standardized ML-KEM key exchange today, ahead of the 2030 deadline.
