Galvanick provides end-to-end cybersecurity protection for industrial operators by delivering an Extended Detection & Response (XDR) platform. The system continuously monitors industrial IT and OT environments, correlates signals from multiple sources, detects threats, and automates or guides responses to protect operations. It targets early-stage industrial companies (pre-Series B or under 100 employees) with a subscription or service-based model, offering scalable security that grows with the customer. Galvanick differentiates itself through its focused focus on industrial environments, a strong cybersecurity pedigree from a founder with National Security Council leadership experience, and a business model built on ongoing protection and platform development. The company aims to give industrial operators a reliable, scalable security layer that reduces risk and downtime by detecting and responding to threats quickly.

↑ 4%Galvanick, Armada partner to deliver edge-based OT cybersecurity. Industrial cybersecurity platform company Galvanick has partnered with Armada, a hyperscaler for edge computing, to provide integrated edge computing and operational technology, or OT, security capabilities for global industrial operations. What does the galvanick-armada partnership offer? Galvanick said Tuesday the collaboration combines its continuous monitoring and threat detection tools with Armada's Edge Platform to address OT cyberattacks, which have tripled since 2021. The joint platform allows advanced AI deployment at industrial sites without reliance on cloud connectivity, bandwidth or infrastructure modifications. The integrated system provides complete visibility, autonomous protection with zero-trust architecture and immediate threat context through behavioral analysis. Which sectors does the joint platform support? The platform supports energy, mining, defense and federal infrastructure sectors. It enables real-time monitoring of remote or legacy systems, ensures operational continuity in disconnected environments and aligns with regulatory frameworks, helping organizations detect anomalies and protect critical operations without downtime. What did the Armada & Galvanick ceos say about the collaboration? "Every industrial operator faces an impossible choice: modernize and become vulnerable, or stay offline and become obsolete. With Galvanick integrated directly into AEP, that false choice disappears. Now you can run advanced AI anywhere in the world while maintaining mission-critical security," said Dan Wright, CEO of Armada. "Our joint solution with Armada delivers protection built for the realities of industrial operations: legacy systems, intermittent connectivity and zero tolerance for downtime," said Galvanick CEO Joshua Steinman.

(Galvanick Photo)Josh Steinman spent four years working as a senior director inside the National Security Council at the White House. One of his biggest takeaways from that experience was the vulnerability of industrial operations that were becoming more digitized — and more susceptible to cyberattacks. Steinman is now the CEO of Galvanick, a startup that describes itself as an industrial cybersecurity company. Manufacturers in the aerospace and telecom sector are using Galvanick to help monitor their work environments for any potential breaches
Co-founded by former Senior Director for Cyber on the National Security Council, Galvanick provides an end-to-end cybersecurity platform for industrial operators. The company announces $10 million in seed funding for its industrial cybersecurity platform.
