What Lastwall does

Lastwall, Inc. is a privately held, North American cybersecurity company that builds identity-first security systems for defense, government, and critical infrastructure operators. The company is headquartered in Fredericton, New Brunswick with a U.S. office in Honolulu, Hawaii, and additional operations in Vancouver and Ottawa, employing 35 or more staff across the two countries. Its product portfolio centers on the IDCommand Suite, a Zero Trust identity platform that fuses a proprietary in-house Public Key Infrastructure with passwordless, WebAuthn/FIDO2-based multi-factor authentication and is delivered across cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and DDIL (denied, degraded, intermittent, low-bandwidth) deployments through three sub-products: IDCommand Enterprise (FedRAMP Moderate and DoD Impact Level 2 authorized), IDCommand Tactical (field-deployable on-prem variant), and IDCommand BOLT (a biometric AAL-3 add-on). A second product line, Quantum Shield, is a quantum-safe TLS terminator and load balancer integrating NIST pre-approved post-quantum cryptography, available via one-click deployment on the AWS Marketplace.

The platform is positioned around four functional pillars: eliminating credential-based attacks through passwordless MFA, reducing post-breach lateral movement through Zero Trust enforcement, providing cryptographic resilience against Steal-Now/Decrypt-Later threats, and operating across cloud, on-prem, hybrid, and DDIL environments including tactical edge. Lastwall's go-to-market is overwhelmingly enterprise and government: direct sales to the U.S. DoD Defense Innovation Unit (anchor customer since 2017), other U.S. federal agencies (post-FedRAMP Moderate Authorization in May 2025), the Government of Canada (via the Innovative Solutions Canada Pathway to Commercialization program through 2027), Shared Services Canada, and North American critical infrastructure operators. Distribution is hybrid, combining direct enterprise sales, Carahsoft's Public Sector reseller network (signed March 2026) spanning multiple federal and state contract vehicles, the FedRAMP Marketplace, the AWS Marketplace, and the Canadian PTC program. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; multi-year subscription contracts are typical for government and defense customers, and as of May 2026 the company had raised approximately $16 million in disclosed venture funding led by BDC Capital's StrongNorth Fund.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise Subscription (IDCommand Suite): Recurring subscription revenue from the cloud-native and on-prem IDCommand identity platform deployed with U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit since 2017, U.S. federal agencies (post-FedRAMP Moderate Authorization in May 2025), Government of Canada, and critical infrastructure operators. Multi-year contracts typical for government/defense customers.
2. Quantum Shield Product Sales: Product/deployment sales of the Quantum Shield TLS terminator and load balancer via the AWS Marketplace (one-click install) plus direct enterprise sales, providing quantum-resilient network infrastructure protection.
3. Public Sector Distribution via Carahsoft: Distribution of the IDCommand Suite to Public Sector buyers through Carahsoft's reseller network and contract vehicles (NASA SEWP V, ITES-SW2, NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, OMNIA Partners, E&I, The Quilt). Channel-driven revenue for federal, state, local government, education, and healthcare customers.
4. Direct Canadian Government Sales (PTC Program): Direct procurement by Canadian Government agencies through the Innovative Solutions Canada Pathway to Commercialization (PTC) program, granting exclusive access for Canadian federal buyers to procure the Lastwall identity platform until 2027.

Core offering

Lastwall builds and sells identity-first security software for defense, government, and critical infrastructure organizations. Its cornerstone offering is the IDCommand Suite, a Zero Trust identity platform built on proprietary Public Key Infrastructure that delivers passwordless MFA, PIV/CAC authentication, and post-quantum cryptographic protection across cloud, on-prem, and DDIL tactical environments. The company also sells Quantum Shield, a standalone quantum-safe TLS terminator and load balancer that integrates NIST pre-approved post-quantum cryptography into the network TLS layer.

Product overview

Lastwall delivers a portfolio of identity-first, quantum-resilient security products organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The cornerstone offering is the IDCommand Suite, a unified Zero Trust and PKI-based identity platform available across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid deployments, comprising three components: IDCommand Enterprise (the FedRAMP Moderate and DoD IL2 authorized cloud-native identity provider), IDCommand Tactical (the on-prem variant for DDIL/tactical edge environments), and IDCommand BOLT (a biometric add-on delivering AAL-3 assurance to any standards-based identity infrastructure). Complementing the identity suite is Quantum Shield, a standalone quantum-safe TLS terminator and load balancer that integrates NIST-approved Post-Quantum Cryptography into the network TLS layer to protect data in transit against Q-Day and Steal-Now-Decrypt-Later threats. Together, these products enable defense, government, and critical infrastructure customers to enforce Zero Trust access, eliminate credential-based attacks, and prepare for post-quantum cryptographic risks.

Broad incumbents

• Ping Identity: Enterprise identity and access management vendor (now combined with ForgeRock) serving large enterprises and government. Competes on zero-trust identity, federated SSO, and privileged access, often in regulated environments.
• Okta: Largest pure-play IDaaS provider offering workforce and customer identity solutions broadly across enterprise and government. Competes with Lastwall in passwordless, MFA, and zero-trust identity but targets the entire enterprise market rather than defense-first.
• Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory): Bundled identity provider embedded in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and widely deployed across federal and enterprise customers. Competes directly on identity, SSO, and MFA capabilities, with significant pricing and bundling advantages.
• RSA Security: Long-standing identity, MFA, and SIEM vendor with deep government and defense customer base. Directly comparable to Lastwall in serving federal agencies and defense with hardened authentication.

Others

• Cloudflare: Network and security provider that has rolled out post-quantum cryptography support across its TLS termination stack. Comparable to Lastwall's Quantum Shield on quantum-safe TLS, though Cloudflare's offering is a feature within a much broader CDN/security platform.

Emerging players

• Beyond Identity: Passwordless identity platform using device-bound credentials and biometric authentication. Closely comparable to Lastwall's passwordless MFA and risk-based authentication thesis, though focused on commercial enterprise rather than defense-first.
• HYPR: Passwordless MFA vendor specializing in FIDO2 and decentralized authentication. Comparable to Lastwall's IDCommand BOLT biometric add-on and WebAuthn/FIDO2 emphasis.
• Transmit Security: Identity and authentication platform offering passwordless, fraud detection, and identity verification. Competes with Lastwall on passwordless and risk-based authentication, with broader commercial focus.
• 1Kosmos: Decentralized identity and passwordless MFA platform with strong public-sector and workforce identity positioning. Comparable to Lastwall in targeting government agencies with high-assurance identity.
• Keyless: Privacy-preserving biometric authentication vendor offering passwordless MFA. Comparable to Lastwall's biometric/risk-based authentication capabilities, though focused on consumer and enterprise banking use cases.
