OPSWAT opens new Cybersecurity Lab and office in Arlington, VA

The Arlington expansion is indicative of the company's deeper focus on U.S. federal cybersecurity.

OPSWAT has officially opened the doors to its new Arlington, Virginia, office and CIP cybersecurity lab.

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," said Benny Czarny, founder and CEO of OPSWAT. "With our roots in federally funded innovation and a growing portfolio of federal clients, Arlington is the right place for our next chapter."

The Arlington expansion is a natural evolution following OPSWAT's acquisitions of Fend and InQuest—two cybersecurity innovators born from U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense challenges.

"This is the perfect time to be here in Washington, D.C.," added Czarny. "We're proud to support not only federal agencies but also the broader economy—from tech innovators to manufacturers—who all play a part in securing America's future."
