Who We Are

Irys was founded to close a dangerous gap: mission-critical institutions were under relentless threat—cyber, operational, and structural—yet the tools they relied on were outdated, static, and too slow for today’s dynamic threat environment. We built Irys to change that.

Our team brings deep expertise in national defense, AI engineering, civic infrastructure, and large-scale system deployment. We’ve secured U.S. Air Force networks, designed adversarial AI simulations, modernized FOIA and HR platforms, and delivered operational intelligence across distributed systems. Beyond defense, we’ve partnered with Fortune 1000 companies, state agencies, and local governments to deploy technologies where failure simply isn’t an option.

At Irys, we deliver technologies that secure, simulate, and modernize, so the institutions protecting society can operate with confidence, clarity, and speed.

The acquisition of DTSI marks a defining milestone in this mission. This unites Irys’s product-driven innovation with over 40 years of service and excellence supporting the Department of Defense. DTSI has a proven track record delivering enterprise IT, cybersecurity, and mission support services across multiple branches of the military. Their long-standing reputation for reliability and service execution strengthens Irys’ ability to scale innovation into complex, high-stakes environments.

Together, we deliver a unified portfolio: next-generation products backed by four decades of proven IT and cybersecurity expertise. All engineered for systems that cannot afford to fail.

Security Is the Foundation

We Don’t Consult. We Build.

We don’t deliver slide decks or surface-level improvements. We build full-stack, end-to-end systems that operate under pressure. Our teams engineer, deploy, and iterate until the system works at scale.
