DefenSoft

Founded in 2002, DefenSoft is an Israeli company that develops and markets a geo-spatial software system for security planning. The company operates in the aerospace, defense, and homeland security sectors, providing solutions for large-scale border and perimeter security systems.

DefenSoft's core product is LIGHTHOUSE, a platform that provides analytical tools, site modeling, and design services for the layout of territory and critical infrastructure sites. It uses proprietary CRITERRA technology to conduct integrated analysis of threats, terrain, infrastructure, and equipment to produce optimized security plans. The system assists users by analyzing the placement of sensors, cameras, radars, fences, and response units to create low-risk, cost-effective security designs before deployment. This technology aims to reduce planning time and eliminate guesswork by showing users the effectiveness of their security plan prior to installation.

The company's business model involves selling the LIGHTHOUSE software and providing consulting services to government and commercial clients globally. These clients include entities responsible for securing airports, seaports, military bases, and oil and gas facilities. Notably, DefenSoft has supplied its software and services to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) since 2004 for major projects, including the West Bank Security Fence and borders with Gaza and Egypt. In the US market, the company operates under the brand name CRITERRA through an affiliate, BSEC Planning Corp.
