SaaS platform to implement zero trust models
Help implement zero trust models across market segments for interoperability, security, scalability, and availability with an on-cloud or on-premises SaaS platform for edge gateways and heterogenous brownfield/greenfield devices.
Trusted data from authenticated devices to AI/ML
Enable AI/ML for millions of IoT and IIoT devices and massive data streams requires lifecycle orchestration with simplification from the application developers to original equipment manufacturers, end-users, and field operators.
Operational efficiencies for IT/OT convergence
Lower the cost of modernization and digital transformation significantly and increase operational efficiencies from factory to field with visibility, and control for IT/OT convergence at scale.
Agent-less with simple APIs for low coding in any programming language
Provide an agent-less, OS/processor agnostic, low-coding approach, with simple APIs in any programming language, for two-factor device authentication, identifiers-based authorization, quantum-proof field communications, messaging integrity, secure content distribution with supply chain provenance, data signing and AI risk classification labels, and remote remediation for timely risk mitigation.
Massive simplification of APIs for application developers. Less is more. APIs that fire are APIs that wire.
Accelerated workflows, with low or zero touch, from factory technicians to field operators to effect operational efficiencies and cost reduction in existing infrastructures and brownfield/greenfield devices.
Synergy between application developers, device manufacturers, and end-user operators for highly available, scalable, and secure solutions for cyber safe devices and trusted data to AI/ML
Why
- Trust in data is paramount and the cornerstone for AI/ML enablement and collaboration
- Trust in cyber safe devices is required on the first mile
- Trust in cyber trusted data is required on the last mile
What
- Lowers TCO for End Users.
- Reduces costs of development and maintenance for OEMs
- Monetizable data to collaboration services
- 10x simplification for application and device lifecycle management – Massive IoT
How
- Symmera is the orchestration bridge to AI/ML using cyber safe devices and cyber trusted data
- Symmera provides an agentless SaaS platform for vendors to put a cyber trust label on a device, ship it, and onboard it with zero-touch in the field
- Symmera’s technology is applicable to all market segments, from industrial control systems to retail, energy, defense, healthcare, transportation, logistics, hospitality, and finance
