VirnetX Facilities Receive Critical Department of Defense Security Certification

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

ZEPHYR COVE, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSE: VHC), a global leader in secure communications and zero-trust cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it has received DD Form 2345 certifications for its two facilities in Zephyr Cove, Nevada, and Farmington, Utah. This achievement represents a significant milestone in the company’s evolution from a primarily commercial provider toward its goal of becoming a dedicated partner for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC).

The DD Form 2345, formally known as the Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement, is a certification administered by the DoD’s Joint Certification Program. It enables certified organizations to access unclassified technical data with military or space applications that are subject to export controls under the Export Administration Regulations or International Traffic in Arms Regulations. This certification is essential for contractors, including technology companies like VirnetX, to handle and share sensitive technical information without compromising national security.

Acquiring the DD Form 2345 is critically important for companies seeking to engage with the DoD and IC, as it unlocks opportunities to participate in classified projects, collaborate on defense initiatives, and bid on government contracts that require access to controlled data. For VirnetX, this certification corroborates the company’s robust security protocols and positions it to deliver its patented zero-trust platforms, designed for resilient, secure communications across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, to mission-critical applications in land, sea, air, space, and cyber domains. It underscores VirnetX’s strategic pivot, allowing the company to expand in the defense sector with its Digital Engineering services that advance Model-Based Systems Engineering and align with the DoD’s Digital Engineering strategy. VirnetX embeds secure communications along with its Dynamic Trust Evaluation for the purpose of ensuring resilient networks. The Company’s product portfolio is designed to secure command and control, battle management, and multi-domain sensor orchestration, while its Cyber Threat Intelligence services deliver insights, empowering defense leaders to anticipate and counter emerging threats.

“We are excited to announce this certification which reinforces our commitment to national security and innovation,” said Kendall Larsen, VirnetX CEO and President. “As we transition our focus toward serving the DoD and IC, the DD Form 2345 empowers us to provide cutting-edge, zero-trust solutions that protect sensitive communications and data in an increasingly complex threat landscape. This is a game-changer for VirnetX and our partners as it strengthens our shift to broader industry trends toward enhanced government collaboration, enabling the company to contribute to vital programs that safeguard U.S. interests.”
