Under the Radar: Flexxon on the value behind marrying hardware and cybersecurity, Launches at CES 2024
It’s all about storing your computer data safely and securely through the use of hardware solutions.
You might recall storing data in hard disk drives in the past which often has slow reading and writing speeds.
Fast forward to today, super-fast SSDs or Solid State Drive that use NAND-based flash memory to store data are more commonly used, as they are said to be more reliable and efficient than hard drives.
But while they may be faster, the question remains as to whether using SSDs are more secure. And that’s the problem that our guest Flexxon wants to address.
Founded in 2007, Flexxon is a Singapore-headquartered firm that marries cybersecurity solutions and hardware. In particular, the firm launched the world’s first AI-embedded firmware based cybersecurity solution called the X-PHY® Cybersecure SSD in 2021.
The solution detects anomalies in behavioural data access patterns and effectively shuts down potential incursions in real-time to prevent critical data loss and exposure.
The solution has since been integrated into laptops with major PC makers including Lenovo, ASUS, HP, and Thomson Computing. But how does it work exactly?
Meanwhile, the Heliconia-backed firm also said it has 30 patents under its belt, but what can we look forward to in terms of its product pipeline for the year?
On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Camellia Chan, CEO and Founder, FLEXXON.
