Hello, MatrixPlus

Today, Bytematrix (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. is launching its technology brand MatrixPlus — and alongside it, releasing the first four products in our portfolio as AGPL-3.0 open source. This is our first blog post; let’s use it for a proper introduction.

Who we are

Bytematrix was founded on September 27, 2021, registered with the Shenzhen Administration for Market Regulation, with headquarters in the Xixiang sub-district of Bao’an District. From day one, we have worked the way engineers do — whether the line of business is cybersecurity, enterprise IT, e-commerce, or training, an engineering team sits behind every one of them.

Over the past five years, the company has settled into four business lines:

• Cybersecurity — product engineering, penetration testing, national red-team support, long-term security operations
• Software engineering & operations — custom software, platform buildout, DevOps / SRE, managed operations
• E-commerce — live commerce, managed accounts, host incubation, direct source-factory partnerships
• Professional training — practitioner courses in cybersecurity, e-commerce ops, commercial photography, and video editing

We operate three locations: the Xixiang headquarters in Shenzhen, the Shajing live-commerce studio, and the Humen live-commerce studio in Dongguan. The team is 40+ strong — a security team of under ten, an e-commerce team of around thirty, and engineering, training, and operations flowing across business lines.

Why MatrixPlus exists

For a long time we used our engineering capability quietly — running one-year-zero-breach security operations for the Japan subsidiary of a UK-listed group, supporting government and enterprise customers across multiple national-level red-team exercises, building our own commerce stack from CRM to supply chain to host platform, training over a thousand students.

But all of that lacked a unified external brand.

MatrixPlus is that brand. It isn’t a single product name or a marketing slogan — it’s the front door for everything Bytematrix exports to the world. You can buy our products, hire our services, or join our open-source community.

Four products, open-sourced

We believe security infrastructure is only trustworthy when it’s open, and engineering is only worth depending on when it’s auditable. With that, we are open-sourcing four products at once — all of them already battle-tested in customer and self-operated environments:

All four ship under AGPL-3.0, in both Community and Enterprise editions:

• Community Edition — full core capability, free and open, available to anyone — individuals, small teams, contributors.
• Enterprise Edition — adds HA, multi-tenancy, compliance audit, SLA-backed support, and long-term maintenance on top of the Community Edition for production-scale deployments.

The four products are designed to compose: alerts from mxsec turn into tickets in ticketdesk; tickets link back to assets in mxcmdb; access flows through mxid for unified authentication. Together they cover an opinionated open-source stack for assets, security, operations, and identity.

What we believe

Four engineering values sit behind the products:

• Auditable, therefore trustworthy — tooling that protects core systems must be readable, testable, and audit-friendly. A black box is itself a risk.
• No lock-in — we bet on open standards (OAuth, OIDC, SCIM, OpenTelemetry, eBPF). Customers can fork, self-host, or migrate at any time.
• The community is the moat — engineering problems are solved by engineers. No single vendor can match a global community.
• Engineer’s pride — we are engineers. We want our code to be read, reused, and yes, criticized.

What’s next

This is a beginning, not a finish. In the near term we will:

1. Roll out the four open-source repositories — some modules need cleanup and documentation; they’ll land progressively on github.com/matrixplusio over the coming weeks.
2. Publish technical content — our Insights section will cover security research, engineering practice, industry observation, and team stories on an ongoing basis.
3. Fill out the resource library — datasheets, whitepapers, case studies, and reusable templates will land in the Resources section.
4. Recruit partners — we are actively onboarding technology, ecosystem, channel, and supply-chain partners. See the Partners page for details.
5. Grow the customer and community footprint — whether you are a commercial customer or an open-source contributor, there is a way for you to be involved.
