Faction Networks is raising capital to support the development and commercial rollout of its decentralized Zero Trust cybersecurity platform, designed to protect users, data, and devices from modern cyber threats. With a focus on average users and small to mid-sized businesses, the company is working to make this advanced level of security accessible and easy to use—removing the cost, complexity, and vulnerabilities often associated with VPNs and traditional SDNs. Backed by an experienced team with prior success in the tech and cybersecurity space, the company’s approach includes a made-in-USA hardware component and collaborative efforts with cyber assurance partners to validate its technology.

Funds from this offering will be directed toward completing the product roadmap and preparing for a planned 2025 commercial launch. Faction aims to serve a growing need across both commercial and government sectors, targeting a market that is expected to reach over $90 billion in the coming years. The platform’s subscription-based SaaS model is expected to drive recurring revenue while additional licensing opportunities may support expansion into military and enterprise segments. With threats from state actors and criminal networks continuing to rise, Faction seeks to fill a critical gap in cybersecurity by enabling true Zero Trust protection in a simplified and scalable way.
