Aurex Acquires Alpha 2, Expanding Advanced Encryption and Cybersecurity Capabilities in Support of National Security Space Systems
Aurex, a leading provider of mission-critical engineering, manufacturing, and technology solutions for national defense and space systems, announced the acquisition of Alpha 2, a preeminent provider of advanced encryption, cybersecurity, and cryptographic engineering services supporting space, defense and intelligence community customers across the U.S. government landscape. The transaction closed on December 31, 2025.
The acquisition of Alpha 2 represents a strategic expansion of Aurex’s capabilities at a time when the global security environment continues to grow more complex and contested. As geopolitical tensions increase and space becomes an increasingly vital domain for national defense, the need for resilient, secure, and trusted communications and cryptographic systems has never been greater.
Founded on deep technical expertise in high-grade encryption and secure communications, Alpha 2 has emerged as a peerless expert in cryptography, delivering highly specialized engineering solutions to space, defense and intelligence community customers. The company supports some of the nation’s most sensitive and mission-critical space systems, offering a unique and rapidly growing capability set that aligns directly with Aurex’s mission-focused platform.
“Bringing Alpha 2’s highly experienced team and specialized capabilities into the Aurex platform meaningfully expands our ability to deliver trusted, secure communications and cryptographic engineering solutions,” said Warren Kohm, CEO of Aurex. “As threats to our nation become more sophisticated, mission assurance depends on technologies that are resilient, agile, and purpose-built for the most sensitive national security environments. Alpha 2 strengthens our platform and positions Aurex to more broadly support critical space missions with even greater depth and capabilities.”
Alpha 2’s engineers and cybersecurity professionals will join Aurex with a shared commitment to technical excellence, mission assurance, and customer trust. The combination enhances Aurex’s ability to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions across secure communications, encryption, and space-based national security systems.
“Alpha 2 was built to deliver highly specialized cryptographic engineering solutions to support the nation’s most critical space missions,” said Jason Nizialek, Founder of Alpha 2. “Partnering with Aurex and Godspeed Capital provides our team with the scale, resources, and strategic alignment to accelerate our growth while continuing to meet the evolving needs of our government customers.”
The acquisition was completed with the backing of Godspeed Capital, a private equity firm focused on building high-quality businesses that support government, defense, and national security missions. Godspeed Capital partners with management teams to invest in differentiated capabilities, operational scale, and long-term growth across critical sectors of the defense and government services ecosystem.
“We are thrilled to welcome Alpha 2 to the Aurex platform,” said Cam Terry, Partner at Godspeed Capital. “The company’s highly differentiated expertise directly complements Aurex’s mission-critical focus and commitment to addressing and solving critical challenges for our space and national security customers. Together, we look forward to accelerating investment across the platform and supporting Alpha 2 as it enters an exciting new phase of growth.”
The acquisition of Alpha 2 marks another milestone in Aurex’s strategy to build a diversified, mission-aligned portfolio of companies delivering advanced capabilities across defense, space, and national security domains.
