ARLINGTON, VA – May 15, 2025 – OPSWAT, a global leader in critical infrastructure protection (CIP), has officially opened the doors to its new Arlington, Virginia office and state-of-the-art CIP cybersecurity lab. The expansion deepens OPSWAT’s commitment to U.S. federal cybersecurity while reinforcing its support for the broader national security and economic ecosystem.
The grand opening featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Virginia State Senator Barbara Favola (District 40), with further remarks by Arlington County Board Chair Takis Karontonis and Kate Bates, President and CEO of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. In addition, representatives from federal agencies, regional tech companies, and public sector leaders were in attendance.
This is more than a new office—it’s a reaffirmation of our mission to protect the critical infrastructure that keeps our nation running. With our roots in federally-funded innovation and a growing portfolio of federal clients, Arlington is the right place for our next chapter.
