Hide AdYuri Andersson, CEO of ANGOKA Ltd says the company’s technologies are unique to remotely operated vehicles and drones that are used for commercial and logistic purposes, including unmanned medical deliveries, site inspections, geographical surveys, search and rescue operations, and emergency services support.
Mr Andersson, explained: “ANGOKA is fast becoming the go-to security solution for the growing drone industry. The rapidly expanding air mobility market consists of drone manufacturers, telecommunication companies, UTMs (UAV Traffic Management systems) and drone operators, with each requiring cybersecurity solutions to ensure security at all levels of UAV flights and communications. We are involved in various consortiums, establishing partnerships and building a reputation in the UAV ecosystem.”
ANGOKA research and development teams have been perfecting systems for many transport and communications applications, including UAVs, which are vulnerable to a range of cyberattacks. The aviation and aerospace sectors recognise the urgent and growing need to retrofit cybersecurity solutions to protect the communications and ensure safe flight of these aircraft.
“ANGOKA’s technology is disrupting the status quo of cybersecurity solutions by uniquely packaging connectivity, security and identification into one, easily implemented solution,” added Mr Andersson.
