DD Form 2345 Certification Reinforces Strategic Shift Toward Department of Defense and Intelligence Community Focus

ZEPHYR COVE, Nev. – VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSE: VHC), a player in secure communications and zero-trust cybersecurity solutions, announced today that its facilities in Zephyr Cove, Nevada, and Farmington, Utah, have been awarded DD Form 2345 certifications. This move signals a strategic pivot for the company, shifting its focus from primarily commercial ventures toward becoming a key technology partner for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC).

The DD Form 2345, officially known as the Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement, is a certification managed by the DoD’s Joint Certification Program. This designation grants certified organizations access to unclassified technical data with military or space applications subject to export controls under the Export Administration Regulations or International Traffic in Arms Regulations. For technology companies like VirnetX, possessing this certification is crucial for managing and sharing sensitive technical information securely, without compromising national security protocols.

Securing the DD Form 2345 opens doors for VirnetX to engage in classified projects, collaborate on defense initiatives, and bid on government contracts necessitating access to controlled data. The certification validates VirnetX’s security infrastructure, positioning the company to deliver its zero-trust platforms, engineered for resilient, secure communications across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, to critical applications within land, sea, air, space, and cyber domains. This development aligns with the DoD’s increasing emphasis on zero-trust architecture amid escalating cyber threats.

The certification also strengthens VirnetX’s strategic pivot, enabling the company to expand its presence in the defense sector through Digital Engineering services. These services advance Model-Based Systems Engineering and synchronize with the DoD’s Digital Engineering strategy, reflecting a broader government trend towards modernizing defense technology. VirnetX’s approach involves embedding secure communications with Dynamic Trust Evaluation to ensure robust network security. Its product line aims to secure command and control, battle management, and multi-domain sensor orchestration, while its Cyber Threat Intelligence services offer insights to help defense leaders anticipate and defend against emerging threats.

“This certification underscores our dedication to national security and technological innovation,” stated Kendall Larsen, CEO and President of VirnetX. “As we shift our focus towards the DoD and IC, the DD Form 2345 empowers us to deliver cutting-edge, zero-trust solutions which protect sensitive communications and data within an increasingly complex security landscape. This certification allows VirnetX contribute to vital programs which safeguard U.S. interests.”
