What Infodas does

Infodas is a German cybersecurity company headquartered in Cologne, founded in 1974, that specializes in cross-domain solutions enabling secure data transfer between networks of differing security classifications. The company's flagship SDoT (Security Domain Transfer) product family covers data-diode-based and filter-based separation, the SDoT Secure Network Card for hardware-encrypted communications, the infodas connect secure collaboration platform, and the SAVe Information Security Management System (ISMS). These products are certified to the highest security levels recognized by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and have been evaluated for NATO and EU Restricted use, positioning Infodas as a vetted supplier to defense, public sector, and critical infrastructure operators.

The company operates a hybrid product-and-services business model, monetizing through product licensing for the SDoT family and the SAVe ISMS, alongside a services portfolio spanning cybersecurity consulting, applied technology, artificial intelligence, security testing, and training. Customers are concentrated in government ministries, defense organizations, and operators of critical infrastructure — segments characterized by long procurement cycles, deep technical integration, and high re-accreditation costs. Headcount is reported in the 101–250 range, consistent with a specialized mid-sized engineering organization. In September 2024, Airbus Defence and Space acquired Infodas, converting the company into a subsidiary and aligning it with one of Europe's largest defense prime contractors.

Post-acquisition, Infodas retains operational focus on its SDoT portfolio while gaining access to Airbus's global defense sales channels, prime-contractor relationships, and balance sheet. Strategic activity in 2024 — including the launch of the tactical-edge SDoT COMP-LAND TE product, partnerships with HiScout (GRC) and Mattermost (NATO command and control), and the introduction of an AI services line — points to expansion along three axes: deeper defense vertical penetration, broader NATO/EU geographic reach, and ecosystem integration with adjacent security and operations tooling.
