Sertainty™ and SecureCo™ Successfully Complete Pilot Demonstration of End-to-End, Self-Governing Secure Data Sharing Solution

Groundbreaking Collaboration Delivers a Revolutionary Zero-Trust Approach to Transform Data Security, Governance, and Monetization

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NASHVILLE, TN — April 2025 — Sertainty™ Corporation (www.sertainty.com) and SecureCo™ (www.secureco.com) are pleased to announce the successful completion of a new pilot-demonstration project featuring a seamless integration of a virtually invisible network with the industry’s foremost file-level zero-trust data-security patented solution. This demonstration highlights an end-to-end, self-governing, secure file-sharing system that protects data at rest and secures data in transit, delivering unmatched security, governance, and accessibility across multiple cloud environments.

By combining Sertainty’s groundbreaking Self-Protecting-Data technology with SecureCo’s advanced zero-trust stealth and obfuscation platform, organizations can address the critical “why” behind modern data security: the need to protect data wherever it resides or travels, with minimal performance impact and no weak links in the chain. This conceptualized solution demonstrates the potential to be a more elegant and cost-effective alternative to traditional Managed Secure File Transfer systems, eliminating the need for extensive infrastructure or complex key management to ensure governance, provenance, and data protection.

Amir Sternhell, Chief Strategy Officer for Sertainty, conveyed, “This collaboration underscores our commitment to revolutionizing data security. Sertainty’s Self-Protecting-Data technology addresses the urgent need for zero-trust at the data level, while SecureCo’s invisible network ensures that data in transit is essentially cloaked from malicious actors. Together, we’re creating a new standard for end-to-end data protection that blends seamlessly into a data chain-of-custody and advanced machine learning processes.”

In this demonstration, Sertainty’s Self-Protecting-Data technology was utilized in a proof-of-concept application to enable secure file-sharing across multiple, disparate locations via SecureCo’s STRATUS transport network—a resilient, invisible multi-cloud mesh. The architecture incorporated four widely used public cloud storage platforms—Amazon S3, Microsoft OneDrive®, Google Drive, and Dropbox™—to store, transmit, and share secured information using Sertainty’s Self-Protecting-Data technology. Meanwhile, SecureCo’s platform cloaks the path and patterns of the transit channels, making it difficult for cybercriminals to discover or attack network endpoints. This integrated approach removes the dependency on TCP/IP and the related infrastructure, thereby eliminating known attack surfaces. Even though there are several layers of stealth and anonymization, the simplicity of the Sertainty SecureCo integration assures data governance and protection with minimal effect on performance.

Senior Executive Vice President from Sertainty, Dan Fischer, shared:
“The successful completion of this pilot demonstration is only the beginning. Our strategic relationship with SecureCo allows us to continually refine our joint roadmap. We’re in the process of exploring new integrations with industry players like HubSecurity, Checkpoint, Tech Mahindra, and Deloitte, and other Managed Security Service Providers. Our ultimate goal is to provide enterprises and government agencies with a robust, zero-trust framework that safeguards data from creation to retirement.” 

This combined solution is uniquely positioned to replace or outperform many of today’s conventional file-sharing and data-transport offerings. By unifying the data and network layers, it offers a cost-effective and scalable alternative that meets the highest standards of security, governance, and compliance. Both Sertainty and SecureCo are seeking additional go-to-market partners to help bring this innovative system to a broader audience and cannibalize market share from legacy incumbents.

Co-Founder & CEO, SecureCo, Alex Harrington, noted, “At SecureCo, our mission is to protect data in motion by making it virtually invisible to malicious actors. Our stealth and obfuscation technologies, combined with Sertainty’s Self-Protecting-Data technology, establish a new gold standard for zero-trust security. This project demonstrates the power of our combined innovation, and we look forward to expanding our partnership to help enterprises and government agencies alike protect their most valuable digital assets.”

CIEDAR Labs and Dr. Damian Valles Embark on Use Case Testing of Sertainty Core Technology

San Marcos, TX – The Connected Infrastructure for Education and Applied Research – CIEDAR – Consortium and its Networking Laboratory and the Ingram School of Engineering – at Texas State University are launching a groundbreaking project that will employ a dual-site system setup and the Sertainty Data Privacy Platform patented technology to transmit smart meter data for real-time AI analysis securely and digital twin monitoring.

Sertainty is pleased to partake in this new research initiative that will incorporate the Sertainty Data Privacy Platform patented technology with AI-based control strategies and machine learning in the context of a bi-directional integration in an IoT and LoRaWAN deployment at the CIEDAR Networking Lab and the Ingram School of Engineering.

Under the leadership of Dr. Damian Valles of the Ingram School of Engineering, this one-year research project has secured a budget to support these efforts. The objective is to leverage digital twin technology and real-time smart metering data from Texas State University’s STAR Park, which will focus on enhancing local energy systems, specifically smart utility meters.

“We are profoundly excited to collaborate with Texas State University’s Ingram School of Engineering, led by the insightful Dr. Damian Valles – a brilliant recruit and protégé of CIEDAR’s Co-Founder Dr. Stan McClellan. Dr. Valles presented an astute proposal for CIEDAR that brilliantly outlines the testing and prospective outcomes for CIEDAR members and the larger community,” said Amir Sternhell, Chief Strategy Officer for Sertainty.

The testing environment was constructed to model an Advanced Meter Infrastructure, with LoRaWAN as the carrier, the Sertainty Data Privacy Platform ensuring protection, and all modeled around a digital twin construct. “This venture underscores our shared vision to lead, innovate, and secure the future of smart utility management,” said Sternhell.

Moreover, the project aims to entwine a smart metering infrastructure with the Sertainty Data Privacy Platform, Long-Range communication, and AI with the aims of generating component optimization, grid analysis, control strategy testing, ensuring data quality, system integration, enhanced security, and a cost-effectiveness assessment.

Furthermore, with the dual-site system setup and the Data Privacy Platform from Sertainty, data will be securely transmitted for real-time AI analysis and digital twin monitoring. Anticipated results comprise AI-driven control strategies, a machine-learning framework, seamless system integration, enhanced security protocols, and utility company cost analysis.

The project team also plans to provide regular updates to the members of CIEDAR, develop a final report, and potentialize additional contributions to academic studies.

“This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead in the integration of these advanced technologies, ultimately revolutionizing utility standards. By addressing challenges such as data quality, system integration, and security, we are setting a benchmark in efficiency and cost-effectiveness,” stated Dr. McClellan.
