We are national security veterans with expertise grounded in a lifetime of service to country. Together, we’re transforming the classified ecosystem.

Tackling our nation’s greatest national security challenges requires the best technology and talent. Yet, government hasn’t kept up with industry’s breakneck pace. Constrained by red tape, federal agencies must often settle for  the technology they can access rather than the best technologies available. This limitation has reduced the pace of innovation and technology adoption necessary to keep our country safe.

As veterans of the defense innovation space, we knew what government and industry needed: turnkey classified environments closer to the point of need coupled with a superior customer experience. While this concept has percolated through the defense and intelligence communities for years, no organization had pursued this vision until we founded Nooks in 2021. It hasn’t been easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. Today, Nooks is enabling a sea change in how the national security community accesses secure infrastructure across the country.
