Abraxas Applications was founded in 2004 to design, build and deploy counterterrorism technologies and services for the protection of critical infrastructure and personnel. The genesis of our company lies in an Abraxas Corporation project initiated in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The objective of this project was to develop a capability to help prevent such calamities from occurring in the future. This project evolved into our flagship product, TrapWire, and its related methodologies and supporting capabilities.

As with all of our products and services, TrapWire encapsulates the expertise of professionals in the areas of counterterrorism, surveillance, surveillance detection, and intelligence operations and analysis. Prior to joining Abraxas Applications, our employees contributed to fighting the war on terrorism as intelligence officers, members of the US Armed Forces and as law enforcement officials. Our professionals have led successful intelligence operations against terrorist organizations and fought on battlefields across the globe in the war against terrorism. We view our work at Abraxas Applications as a continuation of our prior service and as an opportunity to take a proactive stance against terrorism by helping the appropriate authorities to identify and interrupt attack planning processes, apprehend perpetrators, and prevent attacks.
