Artificial intelligence is moving fast, but government agencies and defense contractors face a problem most businesses do not: their most critical systems cannot use normal AI tools.
Many of these organizations still rely on decades-old software built in languages like COBOL, Ada, and C++. These systems power essential operations across defense, aerospace, and federal infrastructure, but they are difficult to maintain, expensive to update, and often too sensitive to connect to public cloud platforms.
That creates a major gap. Agencies want the speed and efficiency of AI, but security rules prevent them from using the same tools private companies rely on every day.
This is where Noah Labs is filling a critical need.
Founded by Murat Işık, Noah Labs focuses on helping government, defense, and highly regulated industries safely adopt artificial intelligence without compromising security. With a background that includes Stanford University research, StartX, and previous AI work connected to the U.S. Air Force, Murat built Noah Labs around one core problem: secure AI infrastructure for organizations that cannot risk sending sensitive code outside their own systems.
Its platform, Sentinel, is an AI-powered development environment designed for secure, air-gapped systems. Instead of sending code to the cloud, Sentinel works inside the customer’s own protected infrastructure, helping engineers understand legacy code, modernize outdated systems into newer programming languages, improve documentation, and accelerate development without sacrificing compliance or control.
Rather than functioning like a public AI chatbot, Sentinel works more like a private internal coding assistant built for defense, aerospace, and federal teams where security comes first.
As more agencies push toward AI adoption, the real challenge is not whether AI can improve operations, but how to deploy it safely inside environments where traditional tools cannot operate. Noah Labs is solving that problem by bringing secure, air-gapped AI directly into the systems where national security, defense, and critical infrastructure depend on getting it right.
