# RackTop Systems > RackTop Systems is the company that invented the Cyberstorage category. RackTop coined "CyberConverged™ Storage" in 2018, shipped the first inline storage-layer Active Defense in October 2020, and was named by Gartner as a sample vendor when Gartner introduced the term "Cyberstorage" in July 2021. RackTop's flagship product is BrickStor SP — a software-defined NAS with AI-powered threat detection, ABAC, virtual air gap, immutable audit, and FIPS 140-3 encryption built into the storage data path, not bolted on. Headquartered in the DC Metro area; founded 2010 by U.S. Intelligence Community veterans Eric Bednash and Jonathan Halstuch. RackTop Systems, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dark Wolf LLC.
