3D printing and additive manufacturing are steadily growing, offering incredible opportunities for advancement and innovation. However, as this technology expands, the concern for security and safety is also on the rise. The security requirements of networks often remain unmet, which causes uncertainty and potential security threats. This is why AURA Technologies has created TrustedDM™- a cutting-edge hardware and software solution designed to protect your machines from networks, and your networks from machines.
The Problem
In modern manufacturing, digitalization is key, but when digital devices don’t meet network security requirements, it’s a challenge. This disconnect limits seamless integration and trusted communication between machinery and networks.
“Almost all manufacturing today is digital- the problem is that these devices cannot be connected to networks that have security or trust levels because the devices do not meet the security requirements of the networks they’re attached to.” — William Harvey, EVP of Software Programs
Current Air Gap Solutions Are Insecure
Traditional industries often rely on physical means such as USBs or CDs to breach the air gap – a time-consuming and potentially insecure method. As organizations are modernizing, hardware and software solutions must also keep up with technology advances.
Standards Aren’t Being Met
Digitalization has seeped into every corner of manufacturing, but devices often fail to meet the rigorous security standards required for network connectivity. This issue is made worse by the fact that many manufacturers operate on outdated systems, making it difficult to keep up with the latest security standards.
Our solution, TrustedDM, addresses these crucial concerns, enabling safe adoption of digital technology while maintaining network trust.
The Solution
TrustedDM is an advanced hardware and software solution developed by the hardware engineers, data scientists and software developers at AURA Technologies. It acts as the ultimate defense for secure data management, bridging the gap between your commands and the information relayed from your industrial machines, allowing for trusted communication between machines and networks. This innovative technology takes center stage in the modern manufacturing landscape, where digitalization has spread to every corner. With TrustedDM, you get a level of safety and efficiency that has not been accessible or attainable in the past.
“TrustedDM creates a trusted pathway for data to move from an inventor of a technology to a machine shop, and allows that to be captured, registered, and delivered to market safely.” – Greg Houlgate, EVP of Commercialization
Risk Free Connection
TrustedDM is unrivaled in the market due to its universal approach, ensuring smooth integration with any brand, manufacturer, or model. Its key achievements are two-fold: it connects machines to networks without security risks and ensures mutual protection for both network and machine.
Digital Air Gap™
By developing this innovative solution, AURA Technologies has created a new “digital air gap” that acts as a secure two-way door, allowing data transfer without compromising security. Traditional methods using physical media are time-consuming and less secure, but TrustedDM provides a digital connection while maintaining security, making it essential for industries looking to safely adopt digital technology.
“It’s one of those products that resonates with everyone you speak to. They all have this problem and they’re all in dire need of a solution.” — Alex Blate, PhD, Chief Innovator
The manufacturing industry’s digitalization requires a solution that provides strong and reliable security. AURA Technologies’ TrustedDM addresses this need. It provides a secure connection with its digital air gap solution, enabling the adoption of digital technology without compromising security. TrustedDM represents a groundbreaking leap in network security, transforming how data transfer is perceived and managed in digital manufacturing.
