How we differ

Most teams build. We also invent, when existing solutions don't work. 30% of our projects start with a hard question: "There's no good solution for this — can you create one?". We can, because our team combines cross-domain engineering experience with strong academic backgrounds and field experience, resolving the root cause, not engineering around it.

Our public track record spans both civilian and defence domains: contributions to OWASP standards and cheat sheets, cryptography research published through IACR (International Association for Cryptologic Research), contributions to NATO standards and national security frameworks, and talks at NATO TIDE, ENDR, and other industry-recognised forums.

Highlighted projects

  • UA DroneID

    Friendly drone identification technology

    UA DroneID is a security and identification technology for unmanned systems that must operate in contested, degraded, and adversarial network conditions. As cybersecurity partner on the programme, we shaped the standard, security, and reference implementation for integration of unmanned systems into control and coordination system.

  • UKRAINE’S MAIN GRID OPERATOR

    Enabling continuous grid operations under active conflict conditions

    We built a hardware-software cross-domain system that integrates with existing energy infrastructure without interrupting operations. Acting as a reserve data acquisition system, it enables national grid resilience against targeted cyber and physical attacks — keeping operators in control even under partial loss of operational control, including during mass attacks on energy facilities.
