The investment will enable Shift5 to expand its footprint in the defense and aerospace markets and bring to market a platform designed to help defense, aerospace and rail companies gain visibility into data of fleet assets to detect cybersecurity threats and improve operational efficiency and resilience of operational technology systems, the company said Thursday.
