Our software reflects our values

  • Altiro creates a high-availability, consensus-based distributed control plane that ensures graceful degradation and mission adaptation even in degraded comms environments.

  • Data Safety is our bread and butter. By default, all data Altiro handles is encrypted at full line rate, in motion and at rest, with quantum-resistant algorithms. We are FIPS 140-2/3, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 prepared, DoD Zero Trust Architecture compliant (SP 853), and our software runs in memory so that it’s erased on shutoff.

  • Altiro not only works with any hardware, network, datatype, compute, and domain - it creates interoperability by providing a trusted common database that heterogeneous platforms can access and contribute to. Integrate across OEM, classification level, and allies without risking a direct connection.

  • We do what we say, and we describe what we’ve built. This is not a company that will sell you vaporware and then go build it.
