Opal Information Security Corporation - Home

Opal Information Security Corporation is a startup, founded in 2018, and dedicated to creating secure computing platforms for critical national security infrastructure.

Our team has researched the nature of security and insecurity, including a deep historical review of best practices and design evolution. The systems most frequently used today all derive their strengths and weaknesses from a common design philosophy that affects hardware, firmware, and software.

We are working on the Opal Kernel: a novel nano-kernel that is secure by design. Analysis of CISA's list of most common and dangerous CVEs has shown this design to be immune to each attack studied to date. These analyses will be published as this website expands.

Opal has undertaken a parallel effort to develop a product line to support AuthM Zero Trust Architecture on top of existing platforms in the cloud or on premises. The AuthM Sentinel leverages principles from the Opal OS to improve the security posture of legacy and insecure systems consistent with Zero Trust Architecture.
