About

Forged with in Birmingham, Alabama.

Sudo Foundry is a software company born from over a decade of security engineering and leadership. We build products the way security professionals think about systems — with an understanding of how things fail, and the discipline to make sure they don't.

We don't bolt security on at the end. Every product we ship is architected with security, privacy, and operational resilience from the first line of code because that is what quality should mean.

Technical Depth

From embedded firmware and cloud platforms — we build across the full stack because we've secured it at every layer. We truly "get it."

Builder Ethos

We ship real products — not proofs of concept. Hardware, software, and infrastructure designed, built, and operated by the same team that understands real world use and what quality actually means.

Integrity First

A deeply-technical background spanning vulnerability research, threat modeling, and US government compliance shapes every decision we make. Privacy matters and quality means secure, not just functional.
