On May 24, Reston, VA-based Agile Defense, an end-to-end provider of large-scale, digital transformations solutions to the Department of Defense (DoD) and other national security customers, announced today that it has acquired Falls Church, VA-based XOR Security, an innovative provider of cybersecurity operations, cybersecurity engineering, and virtual security operation center (VSOC) offerings that protect enterprise systems used by federal government and commercial customers.

“The acquisition of XOR Security bolsters our already comprehensive suite of enterprise IT solutions with additional cutting-edge cybersecurity talent,” said Jay Lee, CEO of Agile Defense. “We are thrilled to welcome XOR Security’s talented employees, sophisticated capabilities, and customers to the Agile Defense family.”
“Agile Defense aligns perfectly with the capabilities, people, and culture at XOR Security. We both have a long history of delivering mission-critical enterprise solutions to the federal government,” said Razwan Raja, founder and CEO of XOR Security. “The synergies between our firms made joining forces the right move, giving XOR additional access to the defense and intelligence markets, while supporting Agile Defense’s delivery of digital transformation services throughout the federal civilian marketplace.”
