Everfox

Everfox operates as a specialized cybersecurity provider, focusing on delivering defense-grade, high-assurance solutions to a distinct client base. The company's history is a multi-stage evolution, originating as NetPartners in 1994, founded by Phil Trubey. It initially functioned as a reseller of network security products before developing its own software. A significant rebranding occurred in January 2024, when Forcepoint's government and critical infrastructure division, known as Forcepoint Federal, was carved out and renamed Everfox. This strategic move followed its acquisition by the global investment firm TPG for $2.45 billion in late 2023. The business itself boasts a legacy of over 25 years in the sector, safeguarding critical data and networks.

Led by CEO Sean Berg, who has been with the business since its time as part of Forcepoint in 2017, Everfox is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, with a global presence that includes offices in the UK. The company primarily serves government bodies, defense organizations, the intelligence community, and highly regulated industries such as finance, energy, and oil & gas. Its business model is centered on providing comprehensive cybersecurity platforms that address complex challenges unique to these sectors. Since becoming an independent entity, Everfox has pursued strategic growth, notably through the acquisition of Garrison Technology Ltd., a UK-based firm specializing in hardware-enforced security (hardsec). This acquisition enhances Everfox's portfolio by integrating Garrison's remote browser isolation and secure access technologies.

Everfox’s product suite is designed to protect against sophisticated cyber threats and manage insider risks. Key offerings include Cross-Domain Solutions, which enable secure data access and transfer between networks of different classification levels, a critical function for its government clients. Its Threat Protection services feature Content Disarm & Reconstruction (CDR) to prevent malware, while the Insider Risk Solutions provide user activity monitoring and analytics to detect internal threats. The recent integration of Garrison's technology introduces 'hardsec' capabilities, using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) to fortify security for air-gapped networks and other high-stakes environments. This allows personnel to access mission-critical data from various security domains on a single device, reducing infrastructure complexity.
