Sprung a leak? Real-time activity monitoring allows for the early detection of threats.
Hairy situation? We ensure your mission-critical apps purr along without a care in the world.
reliable
Patterns have meaning. We leverage heuristic analytics to determine the level of the threat based on the behavior of the attacker.

WE SECURE THE ESSENTIAL
Founded by Army & Navy veterans, we design & build tools for critical operations to deliver virtualization and orchestration technology that protects essential systems—from data centers to tactical edge.
MAINSAIL
Essential systems face a paradox: the infrastructure that powers society—energy grids, healthcare systems, defense networks, financial institutions—is more connected than ever. And more vulnerable than ever.
Modernization is essential, but traditional approaches tend to bring unpredictable costs, vendor lock-in, and security models designed for a bygone era. Starlight was created to remove those barriers.
One platform for VMs, containers, and AI—from data center to tactical edge
Run Everything
VMs, containers, AI inference on a unified platform.
Operate Anywhere
Data center to edge, connected or disconnected.
Secure by Design
Confidential computing and Zero Trust built in.
Integrate, Don't Replace
Works with Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, and existing investments.
BUILT FOR OPERATIONS THAT MATTER:
-
Exceeding NIST Zero Trust 800-207, we help protect mission-critical applications, infrastructure, and data against advanced threats, including in hostile & contested environments.
-
Advanced cyber & threat protection that exceeds requirements for financial workloads at the edge. With performance, compliance, and customer data privacy baked in.
-
100% total encryption of data at-rest, in-transit, and in-use. Active Response Capabilities (ARC), heuristic analysis and real time threat monitoring, including protection against IoT vulnerabilities and more with bare-metal performance.
-
Securing your customer data and other sensitive information, preventing service disruptions, and identifying insider threats.
-
Advanced encryption of patient records, prevention of ransomware and DDoS attacks and disruptions in patient care.
-
Eliminating critical systems compromises to vehicle tracking (GPS), logistics management (ELDs), and infrastructure controls, preventing operational disruptions.
-
Prevent espionage by inside actors and nation-state actors, phishing of citizen or internal department information, malware, and the integrity of intra-department systems & communications.
Traditional virtualization platforms weren't designed for today's threats or tomorrow's edge. Cloud-first architectures assume connectivity that contested environments can't guarantee. We built Starlight from the ground up—for disconnected operations, hardware-rooted security, and predictable economics.
No per-socket licensing surprises
No dependency on centralized control planes
No vendor lock-in to proprietary ecosystems
