Since the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, cybersecurity hacks have become a common theme in the news. The US Congress recognized the fact that cybersecurity, specifically the security of the “Internet of Things”, was a clear and present danger to the US’ national security and infrastructure. In December 2020, the IoT Cybersecurity Act became law. 

Remote monitoring of an infrastructure is one of the aspects of IoT. Vitro Technology has won a ‘Direct to Phase II SBIR’ contract with the US Air Force defending the critical infrastructure of the country’s nuclear arsenal. 

The company’s patented IoT hardware and software delivers “Zero Trust” IoT, an innovation that has won the company a national position in thought-leadership, the company said in a press release.

The technology insulates military and commercial customers from the complexities of protecting IoT devices and proving that their data is authentic,” according to the company. “Vitro puts a compliant, crypto-secure IoT platform in a box. We help our customers focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning that will make their operations more efficient and sustainable, ensuring that the real-world IoT data feeding these models is secure and trusted.”

The technology will enable “a reduction in travel by service teams of at least 50%, trusted, detailed infrastructure data allows our airmen to focus on preventative maintenance and increased mission readiness,” according to the Air Force.
