Delivering More Agility, More Portability through Powerful Compact Solutions

For the first time, SealingTech exhibited at the AUSA Global Force Symposium & Exposition in Huntsville, Alabama. With a large number of Huntsville natives in attendance, it provided a good chance to meet local industry professionals and make new connections in the area. My team and I didn’t know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised by the turnout. As a Solutions Architect for SealingTech, I was excited to demo our defensive cyber solutions and to showcase our new AegisEdge MicroServers that deliver more agility and more portability to the customer. 

Exploring critical use cases

At the show, I met with several DoD contractors in the aerospace and defense industry who wanted to learn more about our Cyber-Fly-Away Kits. They were especially interested in their ease of portability on remote missions. They also liked the fact that SealngTech builds its own Kits. And that we can customize them to fit their specific mission needs. 

Another military contractor expressed an interest in deploying our upcoming AegisEdge MicroServers for network monitoring on aircrafts, a future capability we’re currently exploring. With space restrictions, he felt our ultra-compact MicroServers would provide the powerful capabilities he needed in a compact form factor with remote out-of-band management. 

We met an astrophysicist who discussed using our compact servers to assist in helping his team solution complex problems they were experiencing with current satellite projects. This was an interesting use case I hadn’t heard before.  

We also demoed our new MicroServers and our compact SN 3100 server with a national aircraft supplier. They needed compact servers that are lightweight and portable that they can rack on airplanes to keep sensitive data physically nearby. During the mission, they wanted the ability to push out operations to a cloud if needed, but then still be able to take the entire unit with them when they left the aircraft. They liked how our compact form factors can deliver that kind of flexibility. 

Catching Up with Current Customers   

It’s always good to see our defensive cyber solutions in action at our customers’ booths. At the show, Booz Allen Hamiliton (BAH) featured their Bighorn AI Kit™ which is SealingTech’s GN 7000 advanced server for AI/ML edge computing loaded with their AI software. It delivers an advantage in building and sustaining practical AI solutions in disconnected environments. When some AI/ML model updates can take months, BAH’s Bighorn enables model refinements in minutes, even during an ongoing mission. We’re proud to play a part in that capability.  

Touching Base with International Partners  

A big highlight for me was seeing our Australian partners. This past year, SealingTech conducted training with the Australian Cyber Defense Force along with local partner, Criterion Solutions, to achieve interoperability and readiness with our Hunt Kits. It’s a mission of ours to ensure our US allies have access to the latest cybersecurity capabilities available.   

Through partnerships, we work with them to understand how we can add to the cyber defense systems that they already own. Eventually, this can lead to direct commercial sales and foreign military sales. As part of these agreements, SealingTech provides lightweight, modular Cyber-Fly-Away Kits to the host nation. We also train their operators on Kit deployment and general defense.  

Exciting new innovations to come 

Overall, our time in Alabama led to some interesting conversations about additional ways our defensive cyber solutions can be used in the field that I never considered before. I enjoyed looking beyond our customers’ current use cases and exploring the potential for new ones. I’m excited to follow up and delve more into understanding their operational needs and begin customizing some new innovations together.
