The Subsafe Security name comes from our core belief in the same in-depth strategy from design, selection, construction, testing, operations and maintenance to protect control systems from cybersecurity attacks that the US Navy has in its SUBSAFE program. The tragic loss of the USS Thresher was a complex event with multiple contributing factors. It was discovered that the failure of a single system that was not designed appropriately and antiquated procedures caused the submarine's descrtruction. The SUBSAFE program was created to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.

In addition to traditional cybersecurity services, we focus on solving core design issues to make systems resilient and secure.
