No longer is it NordSec (which conflicted with an established conference). Now, it's Nord Security.]The company behind NordVPN has big plans to offer a threat protection suite, a \"different kind of antivirus system,\" and protect your privacy at the edge of a network. But before that vision becomes reality, Nord Security, the company that counts NordVPN as its flagship, will have to win over consumers and businesses to expand. As we'll show, in February of 2022 it did, by merging with Surfshark, a rival VPN provider. Welcome to our in-depth look at the folks behind NordVPN. As the company moves into a broader range of security products, we felt it was important to understand the company's offerings and, perhaps more important, the company's background and legal foundation. After all, Nord Security co-founder Tom Okman said if he delivers on his 2025 ambition, the company \"will be a global synonym of digital privacy and cybersecurity.\" Today, Okman oversees one of the most popular virtual private network services globally. NordVPN protects data transmitted to and from the internet for approximately 14 million consumers. Now, the people who make NordVPN want to store and protect all your passwords, your confidential files, and want to extend NordVPN's protections to small and large businesses. But what is NordVPN? The answer turns out to be less clear than you might expect and requires taking a short dive into VPN culture. The VPN boomVPNs are subject to a variety of use cases. At its core, a VPN creates a secure tunnel through which data can travel. That tunnel makes point-to-point VPNs attractive to businesses, for example, who might want to connect branch offices to their corporate network.  But NordVPN's growth -- and the growth of the entire consumer VPN business -- is driven by two other key user classes. The first is \"safe surfers,\" those with the desire to browse the web securely while out and about, using available Wi-Fi in places like coffee shops and airports. Public Wi-Fi is inherently dangerous, but a necessity for many users. VPNs help protect data sent through those potentially compromised networks.The second key user class is \"hiders,\" those who want to hide that they're using a VPN, hide their location, or hide any digital footprints they leave that might provide clues to their identity. Those who rely on these features range from people hiding their searches from abusive spouses, activists hiding their access from intrusive governments, and a wide range of sketchy individuals trying to hide illicit activity or cheat geolocation restrictions. Also: How to find the best VPN service: Your guide to staying safe on the internet Either way, the VPN market is huge. Statistica said the VPN market was a $23.6 billion industry in 2019 and will hit $35.73 billion in 2022. Global Market Insights puts the VPN market at $25 billion for 2019 and projects it to be north of $70 billion in 2026.  When the consumer VPN market started to take off, it was driven heavily by the \"hiders.\" These folks didn't want to use a service that stored their information or traffic history. They were so concerned about a potential compromise that they didn't even want to use companies that were under the jurisdiction of nations that could legally subpoena their traffic history. It was into this environment of \"VPN theatre\" that NordVPN was born, back in 2012. The operators of NordVPN have long advertised that their country of jurisdiction is Panama. This is particularly appealing to the \"hiders\" because Panama doesn't have mandatory data retention laws. It also doesn't participate in any signals intelligence agreements between certain nations that allow for data sharing. It isn't party to either the Quadripartite Pact (better known as Five Eyes or UKUSA) or SIGINT Seniors Europe (or SSEUR, better known as Fourteen Eyes). In other words, a big part of NordVPN's appeal was that its hider customers couldn't be touched by law enforcement or legal discovery looking into an individual's data traffic. Here's the core question: What happens when a company caters to hiders but hopes to become a well-respected security company with a broad range of offerings beyond VPN? Who is behind NordVPN?The company behind NordVPN is moving from a single-product vendor to a purveyor of security solutions. When a company sells a single product, tech journalists tend to focus on the product more than the vendor. But when a company starts to grow, especially in the security space, we start to profile the company as well as the products. We want to get to know the company, understand its strategy, identify its competitive position, and so forth. To that end, I reached out to Okman, co-founder of Nord Security. In 2020, I wrote: \"NordSec, incidentally, appears to be the company's name. We'll get back to that in a moment, because … well, it's complicated.\"Okman's LinkedIn page lists him as co-founder of Nord Security since 2017 and a co-founder of Tesonet since 2008. Tesonet's about page says the company is \"an incubator, a venture builder, a digital frontier specializing in all things IT.\" Okman told me his co-founder is a guy named Eimantas (surname-redacted), who is both a childhood friend and a business partner. Although I requested and was provided with Eimantas' surname, Okman told me, \"I had no intent to hide Eimantas' surname. Eimantas prefers not to share his surname in the article. Not that he's hiding or anything, he is available on Linkedin and anyone can find him to be a NordSec owner. He just values his privacy and chooses to stay less public.\" I was provided with a link to Eimantas' LinkedIn page, which also shows him as a co-founder of Nord Security since 2017 and a co-founder of Tesonet since 2008.    Both Tom Okman and Eimantas attended Vilnius University, founded in the 16th century and located in Vilnius, Lithuania. Eimantas attended from 2002 to 2006 and received a Bachelor's degree in computer science, while Tom attended from 2006 to 2011 and earned a Bachelor's in history. Okman also picked up a Master's in e-business management from Mykolas Romeris University, also in Vilnius. NordSec, Tesonet, and Tefincom -- and Panama, Cyprus, and LithuaniaAll of that brings us back to NordSec, which is the name Okman and his team chose to use going forward, at least in 2020 when I interviewed him. Think the name NordSec is familiar? NordSec is also the name of the Nordic Conference on Secure IT Systems and has been in use since 1996. When I asked Okman about the possible trademark ramifications of using \"NordSec,\" he replied, \"we have a pending trademark application, and we provide a different type of service, so we don't think there is anything that could cause a conflict.\" Clearly, that didn't take, because the company is now known as Nord Security.Note that when I refer to NordSec in the following sections, it's because that's the name I used to trace these various players. As mentioned, the new name is Nord Security. When I'm using NordSec in the copy, it's referring to the company as it was promoted in 2020. Another name that often comes up when discussing NordVPN is Tefincom S.A. Tefincom has long been credited as the Panama-based operator of NordVPN. Interestingly, there's a Dun & Bradstreet record for Tefincom, listing the company as located on the island of Cyprus -- not Panama. While there are four D&B records for NordSec, none of them are for Okman's firm. As it turns out, Tefincom owns the US trademark, registration number 5299477, for NordVPN. While the first use of the term NordVPN dates back in the filing to September 30, 2012, the trademark was filed on October 3, 2016, and was finally registered on October 3, 2017. So now we have three countries: Panama, Cyprus, and Lithuania, and three companies: NordSec (now Nord Security), Tefincom, and Tesonet. It's now 2022, so let's add one more company to the mix: Surfshark. Apparently, according to a report by CNET, Surfshark founder and CEO Vytautas Kaziukonis founded Surfshark with the assistance of Tesonet. Both companies (Surfshark and Nord) swear they were separate competing entities until their merger announcement in February 2022. Like I said, it's messy. It should be noted that Nord and Surfshark both say they'll remain operating as separate businesses, with separate accounts and infrastructures. So now they're consolidated business units within the same organization, but they're still competing. Yay?In any case, we can first try to clarify Tesonet. According to a blog post on the Tesonet site, Tom and Eimantas started the company back in 2008 to work on one project. Tesonet provides cybersecurity, machine learning, technical support, and business hosting solutions globally with about a thousand employees. As of 2017, Eimantas and Tom still appear to be involved in the company.  There is clearly some employee cross-over between Tesonet and NordSec. According to RocketReach's profile of the company, not only are Eimantas and Tom listed as employees of Tesonet, so is my primary marketing contact at NordVPN. So now let's look at Tefincom. According to OpenCorporates.com, it was registered in Panama on April 29, 2016. The company's three directors are listed as Marios Papaloizou, Angelos Hadjimichael, and Alina Gatsaniuk. Papaloizou is an attorney with the Christodoulides & Papaloizou & Matsas Law Firm, based in Nicosia, Cyprus. According to LinkedIn, Hadjimichael is a senior corporate consultant at CEOCORP Limited, also based in Cyprus. Gatsaniuk is listed on LinkedIn as a managing director of Globalgen Cyprus Limited. That appears to be our connection to Cyprus. It looks like the parties listed as Tefincom's directors are all based in Cyprus, and are probably all connected to the Christodoulides & Papaloizou & Matsas Law Firm.  This connection makes a lot of sense. Being registered in a domicile district does not necessarily mean you live and work in that location. Take all the companies in the US that incorporate in Delaware. What they do is use a Delaware registered agent and a Delaware mailing address, but operate elsewhere. Most likely, Tom and Eimantas reached out to the Cyprus-based law firm to perform the registration. That firm, in turn, most likely reached out to the Panama firm of Icaza, González-Ruiz & Alemán, who is listed as Tefincom's registered agent of record. Whew! Okay, so Panama is in the mix because it has limited data sharing laws. Cyprus is in the mix because that's where the attorneys and registered directors are located. And Lithuania is in the mix because that's where NordSec and Tesonet operate out of.  When I asked Okman about all of this, he told me, \"NordVPN is a leading VPN service provider in the world. Its brand is owned by Tefincom -- a company based and operating under the jurisdiction of Panama. We chose Panama to incorporate NordVPN as it provides one of the best legislative environments for the security- and privacy-oriented product, while allowing other operations to remain global. NordSec is built by a team of specialists from all over the world, with offices located in Lithuania, the UK, Panama, and Netherlands.\" Speaking of Lithuania, it's not entirely clear that Tefincom's registration in Panama will protect NordVPN users from government discovery, particularly when it comes to the US government. Lithuania is party to Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLAT) with the United States Department of State. Such treaties \"allow generally for the exchange of evidence and information in criminal and related matters. In money laundering cases, they can be extremely useful as a means of obtaining banking and other financial records from our treaty partners.\" In other words, just because NordVPN uses Panama as its jurisdiction of record, don't count on your data legally being out of reach of MLAT-party government attorneys who want to pierce the corporate veil. Okman's response to that is, \"This treaty has nothing to do with the way in which user data is treated. NordVPN incorporation in Panama allows us to comply with the requests for data only if these requests are issued by the Panamanian court. And even then, we wouldn't have anything of actual significance to provide.\"All that brings us to NordSec. Tom Okman told me, \"NordSec is two things: a holding company that does not provide operational value and a brand that defines a suite of different products under Nord's name.\" Let's look at those products now and switch gears back to the more modern Nord Security name.Nord Security's offeringsNord Security made its name through its nearly eponymous NordVPN product. Today, the company has a number of Nord-prefixed offerings, including: : The consumer VPN offering designed to protect mobile devices.NordVPN Teams: An extension of NordVPN with SMB and enterprise capabilities.NordLynx: An extended protocol based on the widely-lauded open-source WireGuard technology. \t\t : NordSec's version of a password manager. : Secured cloud-based file storage.We'll discuss each of these in-depth in a moment, but first I want to touch on a topic critical for a company focused on security: audits. Independent audits In 2019, the company reported a substantial security breach. Nord Security reported that they implemented remediation steps as well as introducing a bug bounty program as part of an extensive security overhaul. Regarding that breach, Okman told us, \"The security incident occurred in 2018. Our research indicates that it happened on or around March 5th on a single server in Sweden. Unsecure account was deleted by ISP on March 20th, making any unauthorized access to the server virtually impossible. We became aware about the incident a year later and immediately started an internal audit, and heavily upgraded the security of our infrastructure.\"For years, I've been pushing VPN companies to commission independent audits. Because so much data runs through VPN services, it's essential to know how well data is being protected. In addition, many VPN providers claim that they keep no records, so if a government wants to examine customers' surfing history, there's no data to provide. For the safety of their at-risk customers, it's essential to get an independent review of whether anonymity is, in fact, protected. To its credit, Nord Security has made a number of moves in this direction. Audit of no-logs claim: In 2018, NordSec retained PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) to conduct a comprehensive audit of their no-logs policy for their consumer VPN product. PwC is the second largest professional services firm in the world and is one of the Big Four accounting firms. The result was that PwC determined that NordSec's claims are valid. Given that Nord Security's data may be vulnerable to MLAT jurisdiction, it's all that much more important that no data be logged for security-conscious VPN users. App security audit: In late 2019, NordSec commissioned a comprehensive app security audit of the NordVPN product. The audit was performed by cybersecurity consulting firm VerSprite, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. According to NordSec's report on the audit, VerSprite conducted penetration testing and looked for vulnerabilities and ways to gain access to confidential user data. The audit found some security vulnerabilities that were fixed. It's unclear whether this audit took place before or after the breach. NordPass audit: Password managers are unique in that they're entrusted with all our most critical information: our logins, passwords, credit card numbers, and even bank account information. The success of a password manager revolves around maintaining customer trust. To that end, NordSec commissioned its third audit, this time by security firm Cure53, located in Berlin. Nine vulnerabilities, and eight other issues, were documented by the auditors and reported as fixed by NordSec. To ensure customer confidence, we encourage Nord Security to conduct these audits on a yearly basis. It's been two years since the no-logs audit, and considering all the growth going on in the company, that's a long time. And with that, let's look into each of Nord Security's offerings in detail. NordVPNFirst up is NordVPN, the product/service that started it all. Founded in 2012 by Okman and his partner, the VPN service is in use by millions of users across the world. In an exclusive report for PCMag  by analyst firm VPNpro.com , PCMag reported that NordVPN had the most Google interest of any VPN service, with 1.29M searches per month as of February 2019. We're not going to go into too much detail here, because we've covered NordVPN in-depth as part of our best of VPNs articles, my in-depth review, and even a profile Q&A with CMO Marty Kamden. If you're curious about the VPN product, go ahead and read those articles. Inside a VPN service: How NordVPN conducts the business of Internet privacy \t\tNordVPN review: Revamping security practices, but still useful \t\tNordVPN TeamsLaunched in 2019, NordVPN Teams is Nord Security's first push into SMB and enterprise offerings. The company's goal, according to Okman, was to create a competitive B2B VPN service that would keep all the best characteristics of business VPNs, but at the same time would be cloud-based, and easy to configure and use.  He contends that what separates NordVPN Teams from traditional B2B VPN services is that it does not require a separate IT department to set up the service. He promises that employees of all backgrounds can learn how to get the most out of it in minutes. The product is sold in three tiers: basic, advanced, and enterprise. The basic tier offers centralized billing and license transferability, along with the usual VPN features. The slightly more expensive advanced tier offers a dedicated account manager, dedicated servers, custom gateways, and reporting and logs. This latter might be problematic for some VPN users who are loath to have any records kept by anyone. Finally, at the enterprise level, Nord Security is offering enterprise-centric features like centralized configuration and management, LDAP and Active Directory, API access, site-to-site VPN, and custom branding. Nord Security also offers a special plan for NGOs (non-government organizations, typically nonprofits).  Given the move to remote work in the COVID-19 pandemic, NordVPN Teams could find more of a receptive audience than it would have otherwise.  NordLynxWhen it comes to tracking where Nord Security is going in the VPN market, we have to discuss the company's adoption of WireGuard technology. Probably the best way to understand WireGuard is how it compares to OpenVPN, one of the most popular VPN security implementations. Compared to OpenVPN, WireGuard uses only 4% of the number of lines of code. This is important, because the more complex a software project is, the harder it is to manage. When it comes to a security implementation, the bigger codebase makes it far harder to find problems and far more likely that a vulnerability is hidden somewhere in the code. The 4,000 lines of code in WireGuard compared to 100,000 in OpenVPN inspire glowing praise. Even the legendarily curmudgeonly Linux creator, Linux Torvalds, waxed poetic. On the Linux Kernel Mailing List he wrote, \"Can I just once again state my love for it?\" He continues, \"Compared to the horrors that are OpenVPN and IPSec, it's a work of art.\" That brings us to NordLynx, Nord Security's next-generation tunneling solution built on top of WireGuard. WireGuard provides the advanced cryptography and lean implementation but lacks server-side capabilities that a VPN provider needs for widespread deployment. According to Okman, \"so around a year ago, we came up with a technological solution to the privacy problem, called it NordLynx, and launched it as an option for our Linux users.\" He says coding took almost a year of polishing, testing and patching until the technology was ready to scale, but the company has been able to release it for all of its platforms. Okman says, \"so far, the feedback exceeds our expectations. We knew from our tests that NordLynx is fast, but we didn't expect such a positive response from our users.\" The speed tests he's referring to were 256,886 field performance measurements by the company. They performed nearly 8,200 tests every day for a month. While the distance between a VPN server and the content server has the greatest impact on users' perceived performance, NordLynx was able to double the performance over OpenVPN and IKEv2. There are three net positives from the development and adoption of the NordLynx protocol: The underlying cryptographic technology is far more robust and easier to maintain than the OpenVPN implementation. \t\tCryptographic technologies such as the Noise protocol framework, Curve25519, ChaCha20, Poly1305, BLAKE2, SipHash24, and HKD are much more secure and up-to-date than those of previous implementations. \t\tAny speed improvement is a win. Doubling performance is always something appreciated by users. \t\tWith NordLynx, the company has been able to leverage a cutting-edge open source technology and adapt it to fit their product and service needs. NordPassWith NordPass, the company aims to take on market leaders like LastPass and 1Password in the password manager wars.  Also: Best password managers for business in 2020: 1Password, Keeper, LastPass, and more It's a big step into a very crowded and entrenched market. Not only are there a great many contenders, but the nature of the product also provides a natural form of lock-in. Even though the amount of data stored is low compared to, say, cloud file storage services like Dropbox, data migration isn't particularly easy or reliable. That said, Nord Security does have two advantages with NordPass. First, it has an enormous and generally satisfied privacy-minded installed base using its NordVPN service. This gives it a lot of potential customers to tap. Second, the company has implemented .csv (comma-separated values) import templates for many of the top password managers and browser password caches. Nord is once again taking security seriously in this implementation. It's built a zero-knowledge NordPass vault that relies on modern ciphers: XChaCha20 for encryption and Argon2 for key derivation. NordPass offers OCR scanning, biometric authorization, and secure password sharing, where Okman says, \"shared items cannot be intercepted with man-in-the-middle attacks.\" NordLockerIf there's one thing you can feel reasonably confident about, it's that Nord Security can secure data in transit. With NordLynx and NordVPN, pretty much its raison d'etre has been secure, encrypted transmission. But if you want to store files in the cloud, you may also be concerned with protecting them when they're at rest. In other words, when all those files are camping out on all those servers out there, are they encrypted or not? Dropbox, for example, encrypts files at rest with 256-bit AES. Within G Suite, Google Drive also encrypts data at rest. NordLocker, announced last November, aims to enter the cloud file storage market, but with encryption being the key benefit promoted. Once again, Nord Security is using advanced encryption technologies, but early reviews fault the product in a number of ways, including -- critically -- a lack of multi-factor authentication. So, what does NordLocker do that Dropbox and G Suite don't? Today, not so much. But Nord Security is staking out ground in cloud-based file encryption, which is a logical security-centric line extension for the Nord brand. Development roadmapNord Security told us it has 700+ employees. Given the relatively small employee count for a technology company with Nord Security's reach, it's interesting to look at the relatively ambitious scope of the company's development agenda. According to co-founder Okman, NordSec grew its R&D team substantially in 2019, tasking developers with focusing on the research and implementation of new technologies that could benefit online security and privacy. Okman tells us that one key area of work is anti-malware. The Nord Security team is reportedly close to completing a proof-of-concept for an approach Okaman says \"might render antivirus systems useless.\"  Nord Security is exploring technology that may be able to detect malware before it lands on devices, block third-party trackers or cookies, cut the communication between devices and botnet command and control servers, and more.  As Okman describes it, \"The project is still in an early stage, and we might be unaware of some future obstacles, but what we have so far seems very exciting.\" Another project underway is a new traffic obfuscation technique that Okman enthusiastically claims \"is unprecedented in the industry.\" One area that may be particularly interesting to techies and consumers, while disturbing for governments, is possible integration with Geneva. Geneva, which stands for \"genetic evasion,\" is a tool being developed by the University of Maryland computer scientists that evolves, modifying data in motion to evade nation-state censors.  According to University of Maryland assistant professor Dave Levin: With Geneva, we are, for the first time, at a major advantage in the censorship arms race. Geneva represents the first step toward a whole new arms race in which artificial intelligence systems of censors and evaders compete with one another. Ultimately, winning this race means bringing free speech and open communication to millions of users around the world who currently don't have them.Okman tells us that Nord Security is discussing future integration of NordVPN with Geneva technology. According to the university, \"Tested in China, India, and Kazakhstan, Geneva found dozens of ways to circumvent censorship by exploiting gaps in censors' logic and finding bugs that the researchers say would have been virtually impossible for humans to find manually.\" Finally, Okman tells us Nord Security is considering entering the secure hosting field. We'll be watching closely for more news on that possible development. NordSec in 2025We asked Okman to speculate about Nord Security's long term growth and evolution. We wanted to get an idea of what Okman's vision was for the company. Most companies never provide any forward-looking views into their product plans, so we were impressed that Okman gave us his future product vision. He described a single application for consumers. The idea is that users would download it once, activate it, and \"forget about its existence for good.\" His goal is to offer a single application that covers all of the important areas of consumer security. He wants to include a firewall, a VPN service, and \"a different kind of antivirus system, which does not misuse your data and barely operates on the device level.\" The software would also tell users what is tracking them online, how many trackers there are, and provide the option to block individual trackers. It notifies you when a service you use is breached and your credentials become available online. Okman sees Nord Security's mission as threat protection. He wants to transform consumer and business security so that \"all the analysis, detection and containment is done on the edge of the network, way before a threat reaches sensitive devices.\" So what does Okman view as the elevator pitch for Nord Security's future? He puts it this way, \"Nord will not only be about Vikings and the cold — it will be a global synonym of digital privacy and cybersecurity.\" You can follow my day-to-day project updates on social media.

But before that vision becomes reality, Nord Security, the company that counts NordVPN as its flagship, will have to win over consumers and businesses to expand.

As the company moves into a broader range of security products, we felt it was important to understand the company's offerings and, perhaps more important, the company's background and legal foundation. After all, Nord Security co-founder Tom Okman said if he delivers on his 2025 ambition, the company "will be a global synonym of digital privacy and cybersecurity." </p><p>Today, Okman oversees one of the most popular virtual private network services globally. NordVPN protects data transmitted to and from the internet for approximately 14 million consumers. Now, the people who make NordVPN want to store and protect all your passwords, your confidential files, and want to extend NordVPN's protections to small and large businesses. </p><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large"></div><p>But what is NordVPN? The answer turns out to be less clear than you might expect and requires taking a short dive into VPN culture. </p><h3>The VPN boom</h3><p>VPNs are subject to a variety of use cases. At its core, a VPN creates a secure tunnel through which data can travel. That tunnel makes point-to-point VPNs attractive to businesses, for example, who might want to connect branch offices to their corporate network.  </p><p>But NordVPN's growth -- and the growth of the entire consumer VPN business -- is driven by two other key user classes. The first is "safe surfers," those with the desire to browse the web securely while out and about, using available Wi-Fi in places like coffee shops and airports. Public Wi-Fi is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://shop.hak5.org/products/wifi-pineapple" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">inherently dangerous</a>, but a necessity for many users. VPNs help protect data sent through those potentially compromised networks.</p><p>The second key user class is "hiders," those who want to hide that they're using a VPN, hide their location, or hide any digital footprints they leave that might provide clues to their identity. Those who rely on these features range from people hiding their searches from abusive spouses, activists hiding their access from intrusive governments, and a wide range of sketchy individuals trying to hide illicit activity or cheat geolocation restrictions. </p><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large c-adDisplay_container c-adDisplay_container_incontent-all-top blank"></div><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large"></div><p><strong>Also: </strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/vpn-services-the-ultimate-guide-to-protecting-your-data-on-the-internet/" rel="follow"><strong>How to find the best VPN service: Your guide to staying safe on the internet</strong></a></p><p>Either way, the VPN market is huge. Statistica said the VPN market was <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.statista.com/statistics/542817/worldwide-virtual-private-network-market/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a $23.6 billion industry in 2019 and will hit $35.73 billion in 2022</a>. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.gminsights.com/toc/detail/virtual-private-network-vpn-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Global Market Insights puts the VPN market at $25 billion for 2019</a> and projects it to be north of $70 billion in 2026.  </p><p>When the consumer VPN market started to take off, it was driven heavily by the "hiders." These folks didn't want to use a service that stored their information or traffic history. They were so concerned about a potential compromise that they didn't even want to use companies that were under the jurisdiction of nations that could legally subpoena their traffic history. </p><p>It was into this environment of "VPN theatre" that NordVPN was born, back in 2012. The operators of NordVPN have long advertised that their country of jurisdiction is Panama. This is particularly appealing to the "hiders" because Panama doesn't have mandatory data retention laws. It also doesn't participate in any signals intelligence agreements between certain nations that allow for data sharing. It isn't party to either the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/the-five-eyes-the-intelligence-alliance-of-the-anglosphere/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Quadripartite Pact</a> (better known as Five Eyes or UKUSA) or SIGINT Seniors Europe (or SSEUR, better known as Fourteen Eyes). </p><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large c-adDisplay_container c-adDisplay_container_incontent-ad-plus-billboard-middle blank"></div><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large"></div><p>In other words, a big part of NordVPN's appeal was that its hider customers couldn't be touched by law enforcement or legal discovery looking into an individual's data traffic. </p><p>Here's the core question: What happens when a company caters to hiders but hopes to become a well-respected security company with a broad range of offerings beyond VPN? </p><h3>Who is behind NordVPN?</h3><p>The company behind NordVPN is moving from a single-product vendor to a purveyor of security solutions. When a company sells a single product, tech journalists tend to focus on the product more than the vendor. But when a company starts to grow, especially in the security space, we start to profile the company as well as the products. We want to get to know the company, understand its strategy, identify its competitive position, and so forth. </p><p>To that end, I reached out to Okman, co-founder of Nord Security. In 2020, I wrote: "NordSec, incidentally, appears to be the company's name. We'll get back to that in a moment, because … well, it's complicated."</p><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large c-adDisplay_container c-adDisplay_container_incontent-ad-plus-billboard-middle blank"></div><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large"></div><p>Okman's LinkedIn page lists him as co-founder of Nord Security since 2017 and a co-founder of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://tesonet.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tesonet</a> since 2008. Tesonet's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://tesonet.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">about page</a> says the company is "an incubator, a venture builder, a digital frontier specializing in all things IT." </p><p>Okman told me his co-founder is a guy named Eimantas (surname-redacted), who is both a childhood friend and a business partner. Although I requested and was provided with Eimantas' surname, Okman told me, "I had no intent to hide Eimantas' surname. Eimantas prefers not to share his surname in the article. Not that he's hiding or anything, he is available on Linkedin and anyone can find him to be a NordSec owner. He just values his privacy and chooses to stay less public." </p><p>I was provided with a link to Eimantas' LinkedIn page, which also shows him as a co-founder of Nord Security since 2017 and a co-founder of Tesonet since 2008. <br>  <br> Both Tom Okman and Eimantas attended Vilnius University, founded in the 16th century and located in Vilnius, Lithuania. Eimantas attended from 2002 to 2006 and received a Bachelor's degree in computer science, while Tom attended from 2006 to 2011 and earned a Bachelor's in history. Okman also picked up a Master's in e-business management from Mykolas Romeris University, also in Vilnius. <br></p><h3>NordSec, Tesonet, and Tefincom -- and Panama, Cyprus, and Lithuania</h3><p>All of that brings us back to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://nordsecurity.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NordSec</a>, which is the name Okman and his team chose to use going forward, at least in 2020 when I interviewed him. Think the name NordSec is familiar? NordSec is also the name of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://www.nordsec.org/conferences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nordic Conference on Secure IT Systems</a> and has been in use since 1996. When I asked Okman about the possible trademark ramifications of using "NordSec," he replied, "we have a pending trademark application, and we provide a different type of service, so we don't think there is anything that could cause a conflict." Clearly, that didn't take, because the company is now known as Nord Security.</p><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large c-adDisplay_container c-adDisplay_container_incontent-ad-plus-billboard-middle blank"></div><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large"></div><p>Note that when I refer to NordSec in the following sections, it's because that's the name I used to trace these various players. As mentioned, the new name is Nord Security. When I'm using NordSec in the copy, it's referring to the company as it was promoted in 2020.</p><div class="c-shortcodePinbox c-shortcodePinbox-single g-border-thin-light-top g-border-thin-light-bottom g-outer-spacing-top-medium g-outer-spacing-bottom-medium g-inner-spacing-bottom-small"><h3 class="c-sectionHeading"> working from home </h3> <div><a href="/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/topic/working-from-home-the-future-of-business-is-remote/" rel="follow"><div><picture class="c-cmsImage c-cmsImage_loaded"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708im_/https://www.zdnet.com/a/img/resize/cd587818326df83cebd930fe5dae8ad274480672/2020/03/23/7e26fd3e-5a86-4ddd-b719-018e5fb7a068/work-from-home-feature-promo-image.png?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=238.5&width=459" alt="work-from-home-feature-promo-image.png" height="238.5" width="459"></picture></div> <h3>The future of business is remote</h3> <p>Most every organization has been thrust into the future of work.

Tefincom has long been credited as the Panama-based operator of NordVPN. Interestingly, there's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.tefincom_sa.e06ce7ead9ff519701ed7233777a1002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a Dun & Bradstreet record</a> for Tefincom, listing the company as located on the island of Cyprus -- not Panama.

While the first use of the term NordVPN dates back in the filing to September 30, 2012, the trademark was filed on October 3, 2016, and was finally registered on October 3, 2017. </p><p>So now we have three countries: Panama, Cyprus, and Lithuania, and three companies: NordSec (now Nord Security), Tefincom, and Tesonet. </p><div class="g-outer-spacing-bottom-large c-adDisplay_container c-adDisplay_container_incontent-ad-plus-billboard-middle blank"></div><p>It's now 2022, so let's add one more company to the mix: Surfshark.

Both companies (Surfshark and Nord) swear they were separate competing entities until their <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://surfshark.com/blog/surfshark-merges-with-nord-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">merger announcement</a> in February 2022. Like I said, it's messy. It should be noted that Nord and Surfshark both say they'll remain operating as separate businesses, with separate accounts and infrastructures. So now they're consolidated business units within the same organization, but they're still competing. Yay?</p><p>In any case, we can first try to clarify Tesonet. According to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://tesonet.com/random/history/the-story-of-tesonet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a blog post</a> on the Tesonet site, Tom and Eimantas started the company back in 2008 to work on one project. Tesonet <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://motieka.com/assisted-in-the-sale-of-it-startup-helis-to-tesonet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">provides cybersecurity, machine learning, technical support, and business hosting solutions globally</a> with about a thousand employees. As of 2017, Eimantas and Tom <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-vilnius-presents-tomas-okmanas-eimantas-sabaliauskas-tesonet-wrap-up-of-the-year-2017/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">still appear</a> to be involved in the company.  </p><p>There is clearly some employee cross-over between Tesonet and NordSec. According to RocketReach's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://rocketreach.co/tesonet-profile_b5a746c9f6921107" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">profile of the company</a>, not only are Eimantas and Tom listed as employees of Tesonet, so is my primary marketing contact at NordVPN. </p><p>So now let's look at Tefincom. According to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://opencorporates.com/companies/pa/155628861" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">OpenCorporates.com</a>, it was registered in Panama on April 29, 2016. The company's three directors are listed as Marios Papaloizou, Angelos Hadjimichael, and Alina Gatsaniuk. Papaloizou is an attorney with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://www.cpmlaw.com.cy/about-us-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the Christodoulides & Papaloizou & Matsas Law Firm</a>, based in Nicosia, Cyprus. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelos-hadjimichael-10768940/?originalSubdomain=cy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">According to LinkedIn</a>, Hadjimichael is a senior corporate consultant at CEOCORP Limited, also based in Cyprus. Gatsaniuk is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.linkedin.com/in/alina-gatsaniuk-0a243685/?originalSubdomain=cy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">listed on LinkedIn</a> as a managing director of Globalgen Cyprus Limited. </p><p>That appears to be our connection to Cyprus. It looks like the parties listed as Tefincom's directors are all based in Cyprus, and are probably all connected to the Christodoulides & Papaloizou & Matsas Law Firm.  </p><p>This connection makes a lot of sense. Being registered in a domicile district does not necessarily mean you live and work in that location. Take all the companies in the US that incorporate in Delaware. What they do is use a Delaware registered agent and a Delaware mailing address, but operate elsewhere. Most likely, Tom and Eimantas reached out to the Cyprus-based law firm to perform the registration. That firm, in turn, most likely reached out to the Panama firm of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://icazalaw.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Icaza, González-Ruiz & Alemán,</a> who is listed as Tefincom's registered agent of record. </p><p>Whew! Okay, so Panama is in the mix because it has limited data sharing laws. Cyprus is in the mix because that's where the attorneys and registered directors are located. And Lithuania is in the mix because that's where NordSec and Tesonet operate out of.  </p><p>When I asked Okman about all of this, he told me, "NordVPN is a leading VPN service provider in the world. Its brand is owned by Tefincom -- a company based and operating under the jurisdiction of Panama. We chose Panama to incorporate NordVPN as it provides one of the best legislative environments for the security- and privacy-oriented product, while allowing other operations to remain global. NordSec is built by a team of specialists from all over the world, with offices located in Lithuania, the UK, Panama, and Netherlands." </p><p>Speaking of Lithuania, it's not entirely clear that Tefincom's registration in Panama will protect NordVPN users from government discovery, particularly when it comes to the US government. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://2009-2017.state.gov/j/inl/rls/nrcrpt/2014/vol2/222469.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lithuania is party to Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties</a> (MLAT) with the United States Department of State. Such treaties "allow generally for the exchange of evidence and information in criminal and related matters. In money laundering cases, they can be extremely useful as a means of obtaining banking and other financial records from our treaty partners." </p><p>In other words, just because NordVPN uses Panama as its jurisdiction of record, don't count on your data legally being out of reach of MLAT-party government attorneys who want to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/piercing_the_corporate_veil" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pierce the corporate veil</a>. </p><p>Okman's response to that is, "This treaty has nothing to do with the way in which user data is treated. NordVPN incorporation in Panama allows us to comply with the requests for data only if these requests are issued by the Panamanian court. And even then, we wouldn't have anything of actual significance to provide."</p><p>All that brings us to NordSec. Tom Okman told me, "NordSec is two things: a holding company that does not provide operational value and a brand that defines a suite of different products under Nord's name." </p><p>Let's look at those products now and switch gears back to the more modern Nord Security name.</p><h3>Nord Security's offerings</h3><p>Nord Security made its name through its nearly eponymous NordVPN product. Today, the company has a number of Nord-prefixed offerings, including: </p><ul><li><strong><span class="c-commerceLink"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://nordvpn.com/zh/pricing/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><span>NordVPN</span></a></span>: </strong>The consumer VPN offering designed to protect mobile devices.</li><li><strong>NordVPN Teams:</strong> An extension of NordVPN with SMB and enterprise capabilities.</li><li><strong>NordLynx: </strong>An extended protocol based on the widely-lauded open-source WireGuard technology. </li><li><strong><span class="c-commerceLink"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/9041660/type/dlg/sid/[subid_value]/https://nordpass.com/homepage/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><span>NordPass</span></a></span>: </strong>NordSec's version of a password manager.<br></li><li><strong><span class="c-commerceLink"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://nordlocker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><span>NordLocker</span></a></span>:</strong> Secured cloud-based file storage.<br></li></ul><p>We'll discuss each of these in-depth in a moment, but first I want to touch on a topic critical for a company focused on security: audits. </p><h3>Independent audits</h3><div class="c-shortcodePinbox c-shortcodePinbox-single g-border-thin-light-top g-border-thin-light-bottom g-outer-spacing-top-medium g-outer-spacing-bottom-medium g-inner-spacing-bottom-small"><h3 class="c-sectionHeading"> ZDNet Recommends </h3> <div><a href="/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/best-antivirus/"><div><picture class="c-cmsImage c-cmsImage_loaded"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708im_/https://www.zdnet.com/a/img/resize/8eb09392094509829408edd6c31c4341d0ff5d3b/2020/04/06/f5b9f560-7814-4367-9256-8debb106c2ff/istock-1145361636.jpg?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=238.5&width=459" alt="Technology Security Concept." height="238.5" width="459"></picture></div> <h3>The best antivirus software and apps</h3> <p>A roundup of the best software and apps for Windows and Mac computers, as well as iOS and Android devices, to keep yourself safe from malware and viruses.</p> <span class="g-text-xsmall"> Read now <svg><use xlink:href="/web/20220816221708im_/https://www.zdnet.com/article/meet-nordsec-the-company-behind-nordvpn-wants-to-be-your-one-stop-privacy-suite/#rightArrow"></use></svg></span></a></div></div><p>In 2019, the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/nordvpn-confirms-data-center-breach/" rel="follow">company reported</a> a substantial security breach. Nord Security reported that they implemented <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://nordvpn.com/blog/official-response-datacenter-breach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">remediation steps</a> as well as introducing a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/nordvpn-introduces-bug-bounty-program-as-part-of-security-overhaul/" rel="follow">bug bounty program</a> as part of an extensive security overhaul. </p><p>Regarding that breach, Okman told us, "The security incident occurred in 2018. Our research indicates that it happened on or around March 5th on a single server in Sweden. Unsecure account was deleted by ISP on March 20th, making any unauthorized access to the server virtually impossible. We became aware about the incident a year later and immediately started an internal audit, and heavily upgraded the security of our infrastructure."</p><p>For years, I've been pushing VPN companies to commission independent audits. Because so much data runs through VPN services, it's essential to know how well data is being protected. In addition, many VPN providers claim that they keep no records, so if a government wants to examine customers' surfing history, there's no data to provide. For the safety of their at-risk customers, it's essential to get an independent review of whether anonymity is, in fact, protected. </p><p>To its credit, Nord Security has made a number of moves in this direction. </p><p><strong>Audit of no-logs claim:</strong> In 2018, NordSec retained PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) to conduct a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://nordvpn.com/blog/nordvpn-audit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">comprehensive audit of their no-logs policy</a> for their consumer VPN product. PwC is the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/10/04/deloitte-overtakes-pwc-as-worlds-biggest-accountant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">second largest</a> professional services firm in the world and is one of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://www.accountingverse.com/articles/big-4-accounting-firms.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Big Four</a> accounting firms. The result was that PwC determined that NordSec's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://vpnpro.com/blog/why-pwc-audit-of-nordvpn-logging-policy-is-a-big-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">claims are valid</a>. Given that Nord Security's data may be vulnerable to MLAT jurisdiction, it's all that much more important that no data be logged for security-conscious VPN users. </p><p><strong>App security audit: </strong>In late 2019, NordSec commissioned a comprehensive app security audit of the NordVPN product. The audit was performed by cybersecurity consulting firm <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://versprite.com/company/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">VerSprite</a>, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. According to NordSec's report on the audit, VerSprite conducted penetration testing and looked for vulnerabilities and ways to gain access to confidential user data. The audit found some security vulnerabilities that were fixed. It's unclear whether this audit took place before or after the breach. </p><p><strong>NordPass audit: </strong>Password managers are unique in that they're entrusted with all our most critical information: our logins, passwords, credit card numbers, and even bank account information. The success of a password manager revolves around maintaining customer trust. To that end, NordSec commissioned its <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://nordpass.com/blog/nordpass-security-audit-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">third audit</a>, this time by security firm Cure53, located in Berlin. Nine vulnerabilities, and eight other issues, were documented by the auditors and reported as fixed by NordSec. </p><p>To ensure customer confidence, we encourage Nord Security to conduct these audits on a yearly basis. It's been two years since the no-logs audit, and considering all the growth going on in the company, that's a long time. </p><p>And with that, let's look into each of Nord Security's offerings in detail. </p><h3>NordVPN</h3><p>First up is NordVPN, the product/service that started it all. Founded in 2012 by Okman and his partner, the VPN service is in use by millions of users across the world. In an <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.pcmag.com/news/nordvpn-dominates-vpn-market-share-and-that-will-likely-continue" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">exclusive report for PCMag</a>  by analyst firm <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://vpnpro.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">VPNpro.com</a> , PCMag reported that NordVPN had the most Google interest of any VPN service, with 1.29M searches per month as of February 2019. </p><p>We're not going to go into too much detail here, because we've covered NordVPN in-depth as part of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.cnet.com/news/best-vpn-service-in-2020/" rel="follow">our best of VPNs articles</a>, my in-depth review, and even a profile Q&A with CMO Marty Kamden. If you're curious about the VPN product, go ahead and read those articles. </p><ul><li><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/inside-a-vpn-service-how-nordvpn-conducts-the-business-of-internet-privacy/" rel="follow"><strong>Inside a VPN service: How NordVPN conducts the business of Internet privacy</strong></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/nord-vpn-review-an-in-depth-look-at-a-popular-vpn/" rel="follow"><strong>NordVPN review: Revamping security practices, but still useful</strong></a></p></li></ul><h3>NordVPN Teams</h3><p>Launched in 2019, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://nordvpnteams.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NordVPN Teams</a> is Nord Security's first push into SMB and enterprise offerings. The company's goal, according to Okman, was to create a competitive B2B VPN service that would keep all the best characteristics of business VPNs, but at the same time would be cloud-based, and easy to configure and use.  </p><p>He contends that what separates NordVPN Teams from traditional B2B VPN services is that it does not require a separate IT department to set up the service. He promises that employees of all backgrounds can learn how to get the most out of it in minutes. </p><p>The product is sold in three tiers: basic, advanced, and enterprise. The basic tier offers centralized billing and license transferability, along with the usual VPN features. The slightly more expensive advanced tier offers a dedicated account manager, dedicated servers, custom gateways, and reporting and logs. This latter might be problematic for some VPN users who are loath to have any records kept by anyone. </p><p>Finally, at the enterprise level, Nord Security is offering enterprise-centric features like centralized configuration and management, LDAP and Active Directory, API access, site-to-site VPN, and custom branding. </p><p>Nord Security also offers a special plan for NGOs (non-government organizations, typically nonprofits).  </p><p>Given the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/topic/working-from-home-the-future-of-business-is-remote/" rel="follow">move to remote work</a> in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/topic/coronavirus-business-and-technology-in-a-pandemic/" rel="follow">the COVID-19 pandemic</a>, NordVPN Teams could find more of a receptive audience than it would have otherwise.  </p><h3>NordLynx</h3><p>When it comes to tracking where Nord Security is going in the VPN market, we have to discuss the company's adoption of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.wireguard.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WireGuard</a> technology. </p><div class="c-shortcodePinbox c-shortcodePinbox-single g-border-thin-light-top g-border-thin-light-bottom g-outer-spacing-top-medium g-outer-spacing-bottom-medium g-inner-spacing-bottom-small"><h3 class="c-sectionHeading"> ZDNet Recommends </h3> <div><a href="/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/best-password-manager/"><div><picture class="c-cmsImage c-cmsImage_loaded"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708im_/https://www.zdnet.com/a/img/resize/9a998751ef71700e755fe6a41bf41e571d52476b/2020/05/08/caa1687e-f4c5-463f-b479-789ccf6d5245/istock-1156386758.jpg?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=238.5&width=459" alt="Cyber Security and Digital Data Protection Concept" height="238.5" width="459"></picture></div> <h3>The best password manager: Business and personal use</h3> <p>Everyone needs a password manager.

This is important, because the more complex a software project is, the harder it is to manage. When it comes to a security implementation, the bigger codebase makes it far harder to find problems and far more likely that a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/openvpn-audit-misses-serious-rce-flaws-researcher-takes-firm-to-task/" rel="follow">vulnerability</a> is hidden somewhere in the code. </p><p>The 4,000 lines of code in WireGuard compared to 100,000 in OpenVPN inspire glowing praise. Even the legendarily curmudgeonly Linux creator, Linux Torvalds, waxed poetic. On <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/2/663" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the Linux Kernel Mailing List</a> he wrote, "Can I just once again state my love for it?" He continues, "Compared to the horrors that are OpenVPN and IPSec, it's a work of art." </p><p>That brings us to NordLynx, Nord Security's next-generation tunneling solution built on top of WireGuard. WireGuard provides the advanced cryptography and lean implementation but lacks server-side capabilities that a VPN provider needs for widespread deployment.<br> <br> According to Okman, "so around a year ago, we came up with a technological solution to the privacy problem, called it NordLynx, and launched it as an option for our Linux users." <br></p><p>He says coding took almost a year of polishing, testing and patching until the technology was ready to scale, but the company has been able to release it for all of its platforms. Okman says, "so far, the feedback exceeds our expectations. We knew from our tests that NordLynx is fast, but we didn't expect such a positive response from our users." </p><p>The speed tests he's referring to were 256,886 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://nordvpn.com/blog/one-very-strong-reason-to-be-excited-about-nordlynx/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">field performance measurements</a> by the company. They performed nearly 8,200 tests every day for a month. While the distance between a VPN server and the content server has the greatest impact on users' perceived performance, NordLynx was able to double the performance over OpenVPN and IKEv2. </p><p>There are three net positives from the development and adoption of the NordLynx protocol: </p><ol><li><p>The underlying cryptographic technology is far more robust and easier to maintain than the OpenVPN implementation. </p></li><li><p>Cryptographic technologies such as the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://www.noiseprotocol.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Noise protocol framework</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Curve25519</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://cr.yp.to/chacha.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ChaCha20</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://cr.yp.to/mac.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Poly1305</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://blake2.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BLAKE2</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://131002.net/siphash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SipHash24</a>, and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://eprint.iacr.org/2010/264" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">HKD</a> are much more secure and up-to-date than those of previous implementations. </p></li><li><p>Any speed improvement is a win. Doubling performance is always something appreciated by users. </p></li></ol><p>With NordLynx, the company has been able to leverage a cutting-edge open source technology and adapt it to fit their product and service needs. </p><h3>NordPass</h3><p>With NordPass, the company aims to take on market leaders like LastPass and 1Password in the password manager wars.  </p><p><strong>Also: </strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.zdnet.com/article/best-password-managers/" rel="follow"><strong>Best password managers for business in 2020: 1Password, Keeper, LastPass, and more</strong></a></p><p>It's a big step into a very crowded and entrenched market. Not only are there a great many contenders, but the nature of the product also provides a natural form of lock-in. Even though the amount of data stored is low compared to, say, cloud file storage services like Dropbox, data migration isn't particularly easy or reliable. </p><p>That said, Nord Security does have two advantages with NordPass. First, it has an enormous and generally satisfied privacy-minded installed base using its NordVPN service. This gives it a lot of potential customers to tap. Second, the company has implemented .csv (comma-separated values) import templates for many of the top password managers and browser password caches. </p><div class="c-shortcodeCodeSnippet c-shortcodeCodeSnippet_embed"><div class="c-shortcodeCodeSnippet_spotify"><iframe src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708if_/https://open.spotify.com/embed-podcast/episode/1reoXlw2YIvF8yf7kyUbgN" width="100%" height="232" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe></div></div><p>Nord is once again taking security seriously in this implementation. It's built a zero-knowledge NordPass vault that relies on modern ciphers: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://libsodium.gitbook.io/doc/advanced/stream_ciphers/xchacha20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XChaCha20</a> for encryption and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://argon2.online/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Argon2</a> for key derivation. NordPass offers OCR scanning, biometric authorization, and secure password sharing, where Okman says, "shared items cannot be intercepted with man-in-the-middle attacks." </p><h3>NordLocker</h3><p>If there's one thing you can feel reasonably confident about, it's that Nord Security can secure data in transit. With NordLynx and NordVPN, pretty much its raison d'etre has been secure, encrypted transmission. </p><p>But if you want to store files in the cloud, you may also be concerned with protecting them when they're at rest. In other words, when all those files are camping out on all those servers out there, are they encrypted or not? </p><p>Dropbox, for example, encrypts files at rest with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/security/how-security-works" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">256-bit AES</a>. Within G Suite, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://support.google.com/googlecloud/answer/6056693?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Google Drive also encrypts data at rest</a>. </p><p>NordLocker, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.prnewswire.com/in/news-releases/nordvpn-officially-launches-its-file-encryption-tool-nordlocker-813068983.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced last November</a>, aims to enter the cloud file storage market, but with encryption being the key benefit promoted. Once again, Nord Security is using advanced encryption technologies, but early reviews <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/nordlocker" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">fault the product</a> in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://www.techradar.com/reviews/nordlocker" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a number of ways</a>, including -- critically -- a lack of multi-factor authentication. </p><p>So, what does NordLocker do that Dropbox and G Suite don't? Today, not so much. But Nord Security is staking out ground in cloud-based file encryption, which is a logical security-centric line extension for the Nord brand. </p><h3>Development roadmap</h3><p>Nord Security told us it has 700+ employees. Given the relatively small employee count for a technology company with Nord Security's reach, it's interesting to look at the relatively ambitious scope of the company's development agenda. </p><p>According to co-founder Okman, NordSec grew its R&D team substantially in 2019, tasking developers with focusing on the research and implementation of new technologies that could benefit online security and privacy. </p><p>Okman tells us that one key area of work is anti-malware. The Nord Security team is reportedly close to completing a proof-of-concept for an approach Okaman says "might render antivirus systems useless."  </p><p>Nord Security is exploring technology that may be able to detect <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/http://zdnet.com/article/what-is-malware-everything-you-need-to-know-about-viruses-trojans-and-malicious-software/" rel="follow">malware</a> before it lands on devices, block third-party trackers or cookies, cut the communication between devices and botnet command and control servers, and more.  </p><p>As Okman describes it, "The project is still in an early stage, and we might be unaware of some future obstacles, but what we have so far seems very exciting." </p><p>Another project underway is a new traffic obfuscation technique that Okman enthusiastically claims "is unprecedented in the industry." </p><p>One area that may be particularly interesting to techies and consumers, while disturbing for governments, is possible integration with Geneva. Geneva, which stands for "genetic evasion," is a tool being developed by the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220816221708/https://cmns.umd.edu/news-events/features/4506" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">University of Maryland computer scientists</a> that evolves, modifying data in motion to evade nation-state censors.  </p><p>According to University of Maryland assistant professor Dave Levin: </p><blockquote><p>With Geneva, we are, for the first time, at a major advantage in the censorship arms race. Geneva represents the first step toward a whole new arms race in which artificial intelligence systems of censors and evaders compete with one another. Ultimately, winning this race means bringing free speech and open communication to millions of users around the world who currently don't have them.</p></blockquote><p>Okman tells us that Nord Security is discussing future integration of NordVPN with Geneva technology. According to the university, "Tested in China, India, and Kazakhstan, Geneva found dozens of ways to circumvent censorship by exploiting gaps in censors' logic and finding bugs that the researchers say would have been virtually impossible for humans to find manually." </p><p>Finally, Okman tells us Nord Security is considering entering the secure hosting field. We'll be watching closely for more news on that possible development. </p><h3>NordSec in 2025</h3><p>We asked Okman to speculate about Nord Security's long term growth and evolution. We wanted to get an idea of what Okman's vision was for the company. Most companies never provide any forward-looking views into their product plans, so we were impressed that Okman gave us his future product vision. </p><p>He described a single application for consumers. The idea is that users would download it once, activate it, and "forget about its existence for good." </p><p>His goal is to offer a single application that covers all of the important areas of consumer security. He wants to include a firewall, a VPN service, and "a different kind of antivirus system, which does not misuse your data and barely operates on the device level." </p><p>The software would also tell users what is tracking them online, how many trackers there are, and provide the option to block individual trackers. It notifies you when a service you use is breached and your credentials become available online. </p><p>Okman sees Nord Security's mission as threat protection. He wants to transform consumer and business security so that "all the analysis, detection and containment is done on the edge of the network, way before a threat reaches sensitive devices." </p><p>So what does Okman view as the elevator pitch for Nord Security's future? He puts it this way, "Nord will not only be about Vikings and the cold — it will be a global synonym of digital privacy and cybersecurity." </p><hr><p><em>You can follow my day-to-day project updates on social media.

As the company moves into a broader range of security products, we felt it was important to understand the company's offerings and, perhaps more important, the company's background and legal foundation. After all, Nord Security co-founder Tom Okman said if he delivers on his 2025 ambition, the company \"will be a global synonym of digital privacy and cybersecurity.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EToday, Okman oversees one of the most popular virtual private network services globally. NordVPN protects data transmitted to and from the internet for approximately 14 million consumers. Now, the people who make NordVPN want to store and protect all your passwords, your confidential files, and want to extend NordVPN's protections to small and large businesses. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut what is NordVPN? The answer turns out to be less clear than you might expect and requires taking a short dive into VPN culture. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EThe VPN boom\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EVPNs are subject to a variety of use cases. At its core, a VPN creates a secure tunnel through which data can travel. That tunnel makes point-to-point VPNs attractive to businesses, for example, who might want to connect branch offices to their corporate network.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut NordVPN's growth -- and the growth of the entire consumer VPN business -- is driven by two other key user classes. The first is \"safe surfers,\" those with the desire to browse the web securely while out and about, using available Wi-Fi in places like coffee shops and airports. Public Wi-Fi is \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fshop.hak5.org\u002Fproducts\u002Fwifi-pineapple\"\u003Einherently dangerous\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, but a necessity for many users. VPNs help protect data sent through those potentially compromised networks.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe second key user class is \"hiders,\" those who want to hide that they're using a VPN, hide their location, or hide any digital footprints they leave that might provide clues to their identity. Those who rely on these features range from people hiding their searches from abusive spouses, activists hiding their access from intrusive governments, and a wide range of sketchy individuals trying to hide illicit activity or cheat geolocation restrictions. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fvpn-services-the-ultimate-guide-to-protecting-your-data-on-the-internet\u002F\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow to find the best VPN service: Your guide to staying safe on the internet\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEither way, the VPN market is huge. Statistica said the VPN market was \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.statista.com\u002Fstatistics\u002F542817\u002Fworldwide-virtual-private-network-market\u002F\"\u003Ea $23.6 billion industry in 2019 and will hit $35.73 billion in 2022\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gminsights.com\u002Ftoc\u002Fdetail\u002Fvirtual-private-network-vpn-market\"\u003EGlobal Market Insights puts the VPN market at $25 billion for 2019\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and projects it to be north of $70 billion in 2026.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen the consumer VPN market started to take off, it was driven heavily by the \"hiders.\" These folks didn't want to use a service that stored their information or traffic history. They were so concerned about a potential compromise that they didn't even want to use companies that were under the jurisdiction of nations that could legally subpoena their traffic history. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt was into this environment of \"VPN theatre\" that NordVPN was born, back in 2012. The operators of NordVPN have long advertised that their country of jurisdiction is Panama. This is particularly appealing to the \"hiders\" because Panama doesn't have mandatory data retention laws. It also doesn't participate in any signals intelligence agreements between certain nations that allow for data sharing. It isn't party to either the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fukdefencejournal.org.uk\u002Fthe-five-eyes-the-intelligence-alliance-of-the-anglosphere\u002F\"\u003EQuadripartite Pact\u003C\u002Fa\u003E (better known as Five Eyes or UKUSA) or SIGINT Seniors Europe (or SSEUR, better known as Fourteen Eyes). \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn other words, a big part of NordVPN's appeal was that its hider customers couldn't be touched by law enforcement or legal discovery looking into an individual's data traffic. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHere's the core question: What happens when a company caters to hiders but hopes to become a well-respected security company with a broad range of offerings beyond VPN? \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWho is behind NordVPN?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe company behind NordVPN is moving from a single-product vendor to a purveyor of security solutions. When a company sells a single product, tech journalists tend to focus on the product more than the vendor. But when a company starts to grow, especially in the security space, we start to profile the company as well as the products. We want to get to know the company, understand its strategy, identify its competitive position, and so forth. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo that end, I reached out to Okman, co-founder of Nord Security. In 2020, I wrote: \"NordSec, incidentally, appears to be the company's name. We'll get back to that in a moment, because … well, it's complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOkman's LinkedIn page lists him as co-founder of Nord Security since 2017 and a co-founder of \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftesonet.com\u002F\"\u003ETesonet\u003C\u002Fa\u003E since 2008. Tesonet's \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftesonet.com\u002Fabout\u002F\"\u003Eabout page\u003C\u002Fa\u003E says the company is \"an incubator, a venture builder, a digital frontier specializing in all things IT.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOkman told me his co-founder is a guy named Eimantas (surname-redacted), who is both a childhood friend and a business partner. Although I requested and was provided with Eimantas' surname, Okman told me, \"I had no intent to hide Eimantas' surname. Eimantas prefers not to share his surname in the article. Not that he's hiding or anything, he is available on Linkedin and anyone can find him to be a NordSec owner. He just values his privacy and chooses to stay less public.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI was provided with a link to Eimantas' LinkedIn page, which also shows him as a co-founder of Nord Security since 2017 and a co-founder of Tesonet since 2008. \u003Cbr\u003E  \u003Cbr\u003E Both Tom Okman and Eimantas attended Vilnius University, founded in the 16th century and located in Vilnius, Lithuania. Eimantas attended from 2002 to 2006 and received a Bachelor's degree in computer science, while Tom attended from 2006 to 2011 and earned a Bachelor's in history. Okman also picked up a Master's in e-business management from Mykolas Romeris University, also in Vilnius. \u003C\u002Fbr\u003E\u003C\u002Fbr\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ENordSec, Tesonet, and Tefincom -- and Panama, Cyprus, and Lithuania\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll of that brings us back to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fnordsecurity.com\u002F\"\u003ENordSec\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, which is the name Okman and his team chose to use going forward, at least in 2020 when I interviewed him. Think the name NordSec is familiar? NordSec is also the name of the \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.nordsec.org\u002Fconferences\u002F\"\u003ENordic Conference on Secure IT Systems\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and has been in use since 1996. When I asked Okman about the possible trademark ramifications of using \"NordSec,\" he replied, \"we have a pending trademark application, and we provide a different type of service, so we don't think there is anything that could cause a conflict.\" Clearly, that didn't take, because the company is now known as Nord Security.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENote that when I refer to NordSec in the following sections, it's because that's the name I used to trace these various players. As mentioned, the new name is Nord Security. When I'm using NordSec in the copy, it's referring to the company as it was promoted in 2020.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cshortcode shortcode=\"pinbox\" uuid=\"9fd372bd-669f-4c8c-84dd-2e4c4ffc6508\" uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F9fd372bd-669f-4c8c-84dd-2e4c4ffc6508\" float=\"right\" data-key=\"pinbox__272d2b14-2b3c-59e8-b7ee-e0ebe78b41e7\" api=\"{"content":[{"body":null,"dek":"Most every organization has been thrust into the future of work.

\u003C\u002Fshortcode\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother name that often comes up when discussing NordVPN is Tefincom S.A. Tefincom has long been credited as the Panama-based operator of NordVPN. Interestingly, there's \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dnb.com\u002Fbusiness-directory\u002Fcompany-profiles.tefincom_sa.e06ce7ead9ff519701ed7233777a1002.html\"\u003Ea Dun & Bradstreet record\u003C\u002Fa\u003E for Tefincom, listing the company as located on the island of Cyprus -- not Panama. While there are \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dnb.com\u002Fbusiness-directory\u002Fcompany-search.html?term=nordsec&page=1\"\u003Efour D&B records for NordSec\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, none of them are for Okman's firm. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs it turns out, Tefincom owns the US trademark, \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Ftsdr.uspto.gov\u002F#caseNumber=87190896&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch\"\u003Eregistration number 5299477\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, for NordVPN. While the first use of the term NordVPN dates back in the filing to September 30, 2012, the trademark was filed on October 3, 2016, and was finally registered on October 3, 2017. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESo now we have three countries: Panama, Cyprus, and Lithuania, and three companies: NordSec (now Nord Security), Tefincom, and Tesonet. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt's now 2022, so let's add one more company to the mix: Surfshark. Apparently, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cnet.com\u002Ftech\u002Fservices-and-software\u002Fsurfshark-and-nord-two-top-vpns-share-a-common-link-in-lithuanias-tesonet\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Eaccording to a report by CNET\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, Surfshark founder and CEO Vytautas Kaziukonis founded Surfshark with the assistance of Tesonet. Both companies (Surfshark and Nord) swear they were separate competing entities until their \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsurfshark.com\u002Fblog\u002Fsurfshark-merges-with-nord-security\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Emerger announcement\u003C\u002Fa\u003E in February 2022. Like I said, it's messy. It should be noted that Nord and Surfshark both say they'll remain operating as separate businesses, with separate accounts and infrastructures. So now they're consolidated business units within the same organization, but they're still competing. Yay?\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn any case, we can first try to clarify Tesonet. According to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftesonet.com\u002Frandom\u002Fhistory\u002Fthe-story-of-tesonet\u002F\"\u003Ea blog post\u003C\u002Fa\u003E on the Tesonet site, Tom and Eimantas started the company back in 2008 to work on one project. Tesonet \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmotieka.com\u002Fassisted-in-the-sale-of-it-startup-helis-to-tesonet\u002F\"\u003Eprovides cybersecurity, machine learning, technical support, and business hosting solutions globally\u003C\u002Fa\u003E with about a thousand employees. As of 2017, Eimantas and Tom \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.startupgrind.com\u002Fevents\u002Fdetails\u002Fstartup-grind-vilnius-presents-tomas-okmanas-eimantas-sabaliauskas-tesonet-wrap-up-of-the-year-2017\u002F\"\u003Estill appear\u003C\u002Fa\u003E to be involved in the company.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere is clearly some employee cross-over between Tesonet and NordSec. According to RocketReach's \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Frocketreach.co\u002Ftesonet-profile_b5a746c9f6921107\"\u003Eprofile of the company\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, not only are Eimantas and Tom listed as employees of Tesonet, so is my primary marketing contact at NordVPN. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESo now let's look at Tefincom. According to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fopencorporates.com\u002Fcompanies\u002Fpa\u002F155628861\"\u003EOpenCorporates.com\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, it was registered in Panama on April 29, 2016. The company's three directors are listed as Marios Papaloizou, Angelos Hadjimichael, and Alina Gatsaniuk. Papaloizou is an attorney with \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.cpmlaw.com.cy\u002Fabout-us-2\u002F\"\u003Ethe Christodoulides & Papaloizou & Matsas Law Firm\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, based in Nicosia, Cyprus. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Fin\u002Fangelos-hadjimichael-10768940\u002F?originalSubdomain=cy\"\u003EAccording to LinkedIn\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, Hadjimichael is a senior corporate consultant at CEOCORP Limited, also based in Cyprus. Gatsaniuk is \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Fin\u002Falina-gatsaniuk-0a243685\u002F?originalSubdomain=cy\"\u003Elisted on LinkedIn\u003C\u002Fa\u003E as a managing director of Globalgen Cyprus Limited. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat appears to be our connection to Cyprus. It looks like the parties listed as Tefincom's directors are all based in Cyprus, and are probably all connected to the Christodoulides & Papaloizou & Matsas Law Firm.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis connection makes a lot of sense. Being registered in a domicile district does not necessarily mean you live and work in that location. Take all the companies in the US that incorporate in Delaware. What they do is use a Delaware registered agent and a Delaware mailing address, but operate elsewhere. Most likely, Tom and Eimantas reached out to the Cyprus-based law firm to perform the registration. That firm, in turn, most likely reached out to the Panama firm of \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ficazalaw.com\u002F\"\u003EIcaza, González-Ruiz & Alemán,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E who is listed as Tefincom's registered agent of record. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhew! Okay, so Panama is in the mix because it has limited data sharing laws. Cyprus is in the mix because that's where the attorneys and registered directors are located. And Lithuania is in the mix because that's where NordSec and Tesonet operate out of.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen I asked Okman about all of this, he told me, \"NordVPN is a leading VPN service provider in the world. Its brand is owned by Tefincom -- a company based and operating under the jurisdiction of Panama. We chose Panama to incorporate NordVPN as it provides one of the best legislative environments for the security- and privacy-oriented product, while allowing other operations to remain global. NordSec is built by a team of specialists from all over the world, with offices located in Lithuania, the UK, Panama, and Netherlands.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESpeaking of Lithuania, it's not entirely clear that Tefincom's registration in Panama will protect NordVPN users from government discovery, particularly when it comes to the US government. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002F2009-2017.state.gov\u002Fj\u002Finl\u002Frls\u002Fnrcrpt\u002F2014\u002Fvol2\u002F222469.htm\"\u003ELithuania is party to Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties\u003C\u002Fa\u003E (MLAT) with the United States Department of State. Such treaties \"allow generally for the exchange of evidence and information in criminal and related matters. In money laundering cases, they can be extremely useful as a means of obtaining banking and other financial records from our treaty partners.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn other words, just because NordVPN uses Panama as its jurisdiction of record, don't count on your data legally being out of reach of MLAT-party government attorneys who want to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.law.cornell.edu\u002Fwex\u002Fpiercing_the_corporate_veil\"\u003Epierce the corporate veil\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOkman's response to that is, \"This treaty has nothing to do with the way in which user data is treated. NordVPN incorporation in Panama allows us to comply with the requests for data only if these requests are issued by the Panamanian court. And even then, we wouldn't have anything of actual significance to provide.\"\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll that brings us to NordSec. Tom Okman told me, \"NordSec is two things: a holding company that does not provide operational value and a brand that defines a suite of different products under Nord's name.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELet's look at those products now and switch gears back to the more modern Nord Security name.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ENord Security's offerings\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENord Security made its name through its nearly eponymous NordVPN product.

Because so much data runs through VPN services, it's essential to know how well data is being protected. In addition, many VPN providers claim that they keep no records, so if a government wants to examine customers' surfing history, there's no data to provide. For the safety of their at-risk customers, it's essential to get an independent review of whether anonymity is, in fact, protected. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo its credit, Nord Security has made a number of moves in this direction. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAudit of no-logs claim:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E In 2018, NordSec retained PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) to conduct a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fnordvpn.com\u002Fblog\u002Fnordvpn-audit\u002F\"\u003Ecomprehensive audit of their no-logs policy\u003C\u002Fa\u003E for their consumer VPN product.

First, it has an enormous and generally satisfied privacy-minded installed base using its NordVPN service. This gives it a lot of potential customers to tap.

Given the relatively small employee count for a technology company with Nord Security's reach, it's interesting to look at the relatively ambitious scope of the company's development agenda. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccording to co-founder Okman, NordSec grew its R&D team substantially in 2019, tasking developers with focusing on the research and implementation of new technologies that could benefit online security and privacy. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOkman tells us that one key area of work is anti-malware. The Nord Security team is reportedly close to completing a proof-of-concept for an approach Okaman says \"might render antivirus systems useless.\"  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENord Security is exploring technology that may be able to detect \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fzdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-is-malware-everything-you-need-to-know-about-viruses-trojans-and-malicious-software\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Emalware\u003C\u002Fa\u003E before it lands on devices, block third-party trackers or cookies, cut the communication between devices and botnet command and control servers, and more.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs Okman describes it, \"The project is still in an early stage, and we might be unaware of some future obstacles, but what we have so far seems very exciting.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother project underway is a new traffic obfuscation technique that Okman enthusiastically claims \"is unprecedented in the industry.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne area that may be particularly interesting to techies and consumers, while disturbing for governments, is possible integration with Geneva. Geneva, which stands for \"genetic evasion,\" is a tool being developed by the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcmns.umd.edu\u002Fnews-events\u002Ffeatures\u002F4506\"\u003EUniversity of Maryland computer scientists\u003C\u002Fa\u003E that evolves, modifying data in motion to evade nation-state censors.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccording to University of Maryland assistant professor Dave Levin: \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWith Geneva, we are, for the first time, at a major advantage in the censorship arms race. Geneva represents the first step toward a whole new arms race in which artificial intelligence systems of censors and evaders compete with one another. Ultimately, winning this race means bringing free speech and open communication to millions of users around the world who currently don't have them.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOkman tells us that Nord Security is discussing future integration of NordVPN with Geneva technology. According to the university, \"Tested in China, India, and Kazakhstan, Geneva found dozens of ways to circumvent censorship by exploiting gaps in censors' logic and finding bugs that the researchers say would have been virtually impossible for humans to find manually.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFinally, Okman tells us Nord Security is considering entering the secure hosting field. We'll be watching closely for more news on that possible development. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ENordSec in 2025\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe asked Okman to speculate about Nord Security's long term growth and evolution. We wanted to get an idea of what Okman's vision was for the company. Most companies never provide any forward-looking views into their product plans, so we were impressed that Okman gave us his future product vision. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHe described a single application for consumers. The idea is that users would download it once, activate it, and \"forget about its existence for good.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHis goal is to offer a single application that covers all of the important areas of consumer security. He wants to include a firewall, a VPN service, and \"a different kind of antivirus system, which does not misuse your data and barely operates on the device level.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe software would also tell users what is tracking them online, how many trackers there are, and provide the option to block individual trackers. It notifies you when a service you use is breached and your credentials become available online. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOkman sees Nord Security's mission as threat protection. He wants to transform consumer and business security so that \"all the analysis, detection and containment is done on the edge of the network, way before a threat reaches sensitive devices.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESo what does Okman view as the elevator pitch for Nord Security's future? He puts it this way, \"Nord will not only be about Vikings and the cold — it will be a global synonym of digital privacy and cybersecurity.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EYou can follow my day-to-day project updates on social media.
