Our take
Over 1,000 major global organizations including Microsoft, Dell, and the U.S. Air and Space forces use Xage Security products and automation solutions to protect the industrial internet of things (IIOT). The company's keystone solution among them is the Xage Security Fabric, a blockchain-based management and security network for the IIOT.
This approach allows for zero-trust, fine-grained control over every element in a system. This includes secure access, as well as the establishment and enforcement of asset security rules. Overall, Xage's offering simplifies traditional current systems, that run on a cocktail of tools, and drastically reduces the impact of any cybersecurity breaches.
This is especially valuable for Xage’s target market, where infrastructure here tends to be fairly old and comes with correspondingly inflexibility. The company has grown fast over the last few years, raising funding along the way to support expanded R&D and go-to-market efforts.
