Congruent

match 84

At Congruent, we build radars for end-to-end autonomous systems. The most advanced autonomous systems are trained as a single neural network from raw sensor data to navigation actions. For a sensor to be included in these pipelines sensor stacks requires two key properties: access to raw sensor data and a high-fidelity sensor simulator. Current automotive radars have neither, they output heavily processed point clouds and no raw radar simulator exists for driving scenes. Congruent solves both pr

Arlo Industries

match 51

Arlo Industries is building a network of sensors that precisely tracks stealthy drones and aerial threats better than radars. This capability does not exist yet because traditional radars are built on past war doctrines designed to protect single, centralised assets. Modern warfare, however, demands wide-area, persistent coverage that is both passive and economically scalable. By utilising a mesh architecture, Arlo Industries unlocks unprecedented asymmetric economics. The network is fundamental

Traversal Networks develops a new form of Network Intrusion Detection System designed to catch unknown threats. The Lateral Threat Detector appliances are easily installed on your corporate network. These analyst-assisted sensors learn traffic patterns on each of your network segments and detect lateral exploitation, backdoors, bots, malware, and network reconnaissance. The Traversal Networks operate on four different platforms: learn, reputation, machine learning and search. Traversal Networks
