About

The idea of Arbit was conceived in 2006 when Rasmus Borch became intrigued with a hypothesis: That it would be feasible to use existing high-speed fiber-optic network technology to create a simple physical diode to solve the need to securely transfer data between classified networks. In 2008 the first Data Diode was built and tested and the theory was confirmed.

Arbit began as a start-up in a basement, but the development of both hardware and software accelerated at pace. Soon came the first order to install a solution, and a viable business model was emerging.

Business grew as new systems and network requirements materialised and interest from customers increased. In 2012, Arbit welcomed new talented and committed members to the team to keep up momentum in both sales and technology development. Along the way new versions of the Arbit Data Diodes were launched, and complementary products and expanded applications were introduced.

In 2018 Arbit launched its first full ‘ruggedized’ version developed for the Armed Forces. These products and features marked an opportunity to support a new market segment and a wider range of customers.

Simultaneously, the general desire to protect civil and commercial organisations against cyber attacks has sky-rocketed. Arbit is now pursuing a strategy to become relevant to an even broader audience by leveraging the strengths in technology, approach to customer service and insights from protecting the most critical, sensitive and valuable data.
