What is Nord Security?
Our passion
We want one thing only — to give true online privacy and security to as many people as we can. Nord Security was born as a passion project, and our drive is reflected in our work, which has earned high praise from major tech outlets and cybersec experts.
Our history
The founders of Nord Security were childhood friends that had grown weary of internet censorship and surveillance. In 2012, they resolved to pool their resources and build an effective online privacy tool.
That tool eventually became NordVPN, named to reflect the Nordic ideals of confidence, trust, and innovation. NordVPN received rave reviews from both tech outlets and the public — it was smart, sleek, and secure. Over the years, our flagship product found its way to all major operating systems.
NordVPN’s success prompted us to start thinking about branching out into other cybersecurity areas. In 2018, we gave our users the tools to build their own custom VPN solutions with NordWL. Next year, we unveiled 3 hot new apps — NordPass for password management, NordLocker for file encryption, and NordLayer for business needs.
Today, the Nord Security family of products is used by over 15 million people. NordVPN holds the title of the world’s fastest VPN, while NordPass and NordLocker are fast gaining recognition among the tech crowd. Over less than a decade, we have grown from 4 friends to hundreds of cybersec experts — and we don’t plan on stopping.
