The Company’s range of capabilities protects our nation’s citizens and cyber infrastructure.”
Michael Lustbader, Partner at Arlington, said, “The attempted Christmas day and Times Square bombings highlight the critical importance of technological solutions that ‘connect the dots’ to identify potential threats.

With Arlington’s support and relationships, WOTI is well positioned to capitalize on the demand for rapid identity resolution and large-scale data analysis.”
