Secure Autonomy Startup Showcase
Sean Duffy moderates the Secure Autonomy Startup Showcase featuring Black Swift Technologies, IoT/AI, and ZPEG with the best that cybersecurity, autonomy, and drones have to offer today at Austin Startup Week.
What you’ll find out
- How does Black Swift Technologies build reliable unmanned aircraft systems?
- How can CHAaSM help solve problems around public cloud infrastructure?
- What makes IOT/AI’s unique edge-computing solutions stand out in a world full of hype?
- How does ZPEG closes the gap in providing high-quality video to advance goals of secure autonomy?
Key takeaways
- “Unmanned aircraft systems are extremely valuable because they provide us a set of data we were unable to get before from satellites and probes.” — Jack Elston, Black Swift Technologies
- “That’s what [CHAaSM] is designed to do: to allow you to build your own cloud at a fraction of the cost with full visibility to all security code and source code.” — Simon Mijolovic, CHAaSM
- “At the end of the day, we are secure mesh at the edge. When I say secure, that physical little black box has A2/AD resistance from the physical layer, to the motherboard, to the kernel of the firmware, to dual wrap encryption of the network and also in sensing of any multiple attributes of power and sensor, anything connected to it. And so it’s a full stack, it’s not one single stack, and it’s been proven by Army and Air Force labs.” — JD Stanley, IoT/AI
- “Increasing the effective detection and classification radii requires high resolution video at low latency and that’s where ZPEG steps in… As we improve the margin safety, existing technology drives up the cost dramatically, so this is where ZPEG can fit into the autonomous decision making chain.” — Scott Hastings, ZPEG
