Data and identity protection using Web3 and quantum-resistant cryptography
VIA builds passwordless, quantum-resistant authentication and data protection technology, with 20 issued patents across Web3 and cryptographic methods. The stack—Istio, FastAPI, OAuth 2.0, and Web3 primitives—reflects a distributed, zero-trust architecture. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (9 roles, mostly senior/lead), signaling rapid product development alongside documented pain points in scaling secure data sharing and strengthening interagency coordination, particularly for defense and enterprise customers.
VIA provides data and identity protection solutions for U.S. Department of Defense and Fortune 100 enterprises facing data theft, manipulation, and misuse at scale. Founded in 2016 and based in Somerville, MA, the 51–200-person company operates across engineering, operations, finance, HR, and security functions. Core projects include a zero-trust fabric, mobile backbone, secure data handling pipelines, and AI-driven secure data sharing. The business combines passwordless authentication with Web3 and quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques to address both current threats and post-quantum security horizons.
