This automated platform detects, prioritizes, and remediates exploitable vulnerabilities.
OP[4], a company based on DARPA-developed cybersecurity technology that was repackaged by AFWERX with over $2 million of first seed funding, has launched today.
OP[4]’s cutting-edge platform detects and patches embedded systems and Internet-of-Things gadgets that have N-Day or 0-Day vulnerabilities. In the Spring, the company will launch versions tailored to specific industries, including Consumer IoT, Aerospace & Defense, and Telecommunications. The company is already providing the software-as-a-service offering to the U.S. government. These solutions will help the White House’s national cybersecurity IoT Labeling Program that will be announced later this year.
Its power comes from the unique ability of OP[4] to mimic an operating system, which allows it to differentiate between active and non-active code, and assess risk on a binary level. OP[4]’s automated system continuously and accurately finds, isolates, validates, classifies, prioritizes, and fixes N-Day and 0-Day vulnerability. The fully automated system of OP[4] reduces the risk and speeds up time to market because it allows product development teams first to address key vulnerabilities across their entire software supply chains.
Irby Thomson, CEO and co-founder of OP[4], said, “As IoT becomes more prevalent, we want to give the commercial sector the same level protection and privacy that nation states provide.” Our technology enables device manufacturers, critical infrastructure operators, and integrators to develop safer, more reliable, and cost-effective products.
