University of Wolverhampton Science Park tenant, Goldilock, the company has been selected by NATO DIANA as the only CNI-focused cyber company to continue into the second phase of the highly exclusive NATO-backed innovation programme.
As part of Phase II, Goldilock will receive additional funding as well as tailored programming, investor networking, and adoption opportunities – all in support of obtaining technology certifications in CNI and defence settings, developing scalable versions of its FireBreak technology for wider deployments, and establishing software tools for planning, deploying and operating large multi-site deployments.
Along with nine other innovators, Goldilock were part of 44 companies chosen in 2023 to join the first acceleration cohort of the newly formed DIANA, an organisation set up by NATO Allies to tackle the complex security challenges with disruptive dual-use technologies.
Goldilock Drawbridge is a physical cybersecurity solution that saves manpower, time, money, and nerves. Based on Goldilock’s patented DPNS, it allows users to issue an authenticated remote non-IP command to instantly and physically isolate and ring-fence systems within seconds, from, and to, anywhere on Earth – without using the internet.The asset is then completely safe and un-hackable because it is truly physically disconnected from the network as if a physical drawbridge has been raised.
The “Non-IP”, or non-internet-protocol enabled command, is significant, because the method of control is completely taken away from the potential attack vector – the internet itself. Furthermore, Goldilock Drawbridge is triggered port by port, so disconnection and isolation can be very granular – right down to the network segment or endpoint.
NATO DIANA, established in2021, is a NATO initiative that collaborates with prominent researchers and entrepreneurs across the Alliance, empowering them to develop technologies that safeguard NATO citizens.
