We founded AXE55 Technologies because we saw a critical gap: organizations facing sophisticated threats but relying on security solutions that only protect surface-level vulnerabilities.
For decades, we hunted adversaries in the world’s most challenging environments. When we left government service, we saw the same tactics targeting commercial organizations — through ownership structures, supply chains, and procurement dependencies. AXE55 Technologies was built by people who've actually faced these adversaries.
Our leadership team has operated across every domain of national security. We've led missions on six continents, managed classified programs, and advised senior officials on emerging threats. That depth of experience translates directly to how we protect commercial organizations.

Transform uncertainty into operational strength by fusing proven intelligence tradecraft with cutting-edge AI. We expose hidden vulnerabilities across both equity and digital chains, fortify critical failure points, and give organizations the clarity needed to defend against threats others don't see coming.

Modern adversaries exploit ownership ties, vendor dependencies, and procurement pathways just as readily as they exploit code vulnerabilities. Traditional security stops at your digital perimeter. We go further—mapping your complete equity chain alongside your digital infrastructure for unified visibility.
We're former intelligence officers and special operations professionals who bring field-tested tradecraft to every engagement.
We practice equity chain mapping — analyzing ownership, financial control, and vendor relationships alongside digital infrastructure.
Our Assured Discovery and Intelligence™ (ADI) platform fuses human expertise with machine learning to reveal hidden adversary tactics.
