ATLANTA, May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ionic Security Inc., a pioneer of high-assurance data trust, was recently awarded a Phase 4 contract by the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate's Silicon Valley Innovation Program to commercialize advanced, at-scale data security for the Internet of Things (IoT).

With over 23 billion devices connected to the internet today, projections are expected to skyrocket to over 75 billion by 2025.  Most IoT devices are designed for functionality first, leaving them extremely vulnerable to compromise.  This makes a security-centric solution—especially one that can be deployed over-the-air across existing infrastructures—more important than ever.

Through three phases of development, Ionic successfully tested the adaptation of the Ionic Data Trust Platform and its SDK libraries, alongside industry partner Kudelski Security, to enable secure IoT enabled Video Surveillance Systems.  This effort successfully demonstrated machine-scale encryption of data in use and at rest to ensure that only authorized end points could access and utilize the data.

"Providing end-to-end data trust and security across the expanding infrastructure of connected devices is paramount," said Eric Hinkle, Ionic's CEO. "We are excited to partner with Kudelski and DHS in this endeavor, and see tremendous opportunities globally in both the public and private sectors."

With the Phase 4 contract award, Ionic security will develop a commercially-available capability that will be easy to install and provision, and integrate with legacy and current technology.  The solution will provide cryptographic security, control, and visibility to sensitive surveillance data.

"We are proud to be the first awardee in the DHS Silicon Valley Innovation Program to have progressed and been awarded a Phase 4 contract," said Ron Carpinella, VP of Ionic's Federal Operations, "This speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the Ionic Data Trust Platform and the hard work we have done to address the challenges of IoT security."
