Protect Data Everywhere

Our Mission

XQ’s Zero Trust Data Platform aims to simplify data security, making it easier to provide privacy to people, organizations, and infrastructure. Web security is weak and easily hacked. VPN security is hard to use, not scalable, and still vulnerable. XQ provides a data-centric, highly secure model that gives users control of their data. Resilient, data agnostic, and scalable, XQ is cyber security for those who want to control their data wherever it goes.

People who care about Data

Digital Privacy is a Human Right. XQ brings together software developers and security experts from Silicon Valley and Washington DC. What makes XQ special is our unique mix of software development and national security expertise. Our team includes inventors, graphic designers, coding types, security nerds as well as people who have worked for US Presidents (a really serious job).

Early on the XQ team realized that data exfiltration attacks were increasing as a result of enterprises outsourcing key functions as well as moving to the cloud. The key insight is that the greater the distribution of data, the higher the probability of exfiltration. Subsequently, the XQ team believed that the occurrence of data exfiltration would only increase in the emerging 5G IoT world. So the XQ team set about designing a distributed data protection solution from a clean sheet of paper (we still have the original paper). XQ’s SMART concept is to implement encryption and authorization and policy enforcement at the edge and integrate tracking to detect data exfiltration attempts (something called a Zero Trust security model).
