Nord Security, the prominent cybersecurity and privacy software company renowned for its virtual private network products, was founded in 2012 by Tom Okman and Eimantas Sabaliauskas. Operating as part of the broader technology startup ecosystem in Vilnius, Lithuania, the co-founders launched the company with the vision of making digital privacy and internet security tools accessible to everyday users worldwide. Under their ongoing leadership as co-CEOs, the enterprise expanded rapidly from a single privacy application into a comprehensive suite of digital security solutions—including encrypted cloud storage, password management tools, and secure file-sharing networks—while scaling its global customer base and achieving unicorn status through strategic private equity investments.
