Digitalization has become a necessity in the modern world. As more and more aspects of our lives and work depend on the internet and cloud services, we also face greater risks from cyberattacks. The traditional security measures that have been used for decades are no longer sufficient to defend against the evolving threats. Organizations need a new approach to secure their virtual operations.
Aerobyte Cyber Defense is a company that offers a unique solution to this challenge. It advocates for the adoption of Zero Trust security models, Software Defined Perimeters (SDP), ZTNA, and SASE architectures, which are designed to provide granular and dynamic access control, data protection, and threat prevention. Aerobyte was founded in May 2020 by Howard Hellman and Bill Tabor, who have been working on this vision for almost 17 years. Their original goal was to create a safe internet for children, but they realized that their technology could also secure the Internet 2.0 for everyone.
“My co-founder and I have been building these security models for a very long time, and very few understood the value behind its purpose. While this is a huge leap forward, it is not the end,” said Howard.
Best-of-breed Security Technologies
Aerobyte Cyber Defense uses a software-defined approach that creates a new layer of security that works with any existing network technology, such as 5G and satellite communication. It also provides granular control over the protection layers and optimizes the communication flow with its innovative tunneling technology.
Aerobyte’s core product is the Cyber Defence Framework (CDF), which is an open platform API Ecosystem. The CDF enables organizations to access the best-of-breed security technologies that can reduce the risk and vulnerability windows they face today. With the CDF, IT executives can create and enforce policies that ensure the integrity of Trust. They can also implement a Zero Trust Security model for any user, device, application, or service.
Additionally, Aerobyte offers a more advanced option for organizations that need a higher level of security: the Software Defined Perimeter or SDP. The SDP is a lightweight client that can support any device with an IP address and prevent major security attacks that we hear about every day. “Hackers can’t attack what they can’t see, and our SDP makes sure they can’t see anything,” explains Howard.
The Future of Quantum-Resistant Security
Aerobyte’s quantum-resistant security solutions can be deployed anywhere in the world with agility and speed. Its innovative Cyber Defense Fabric (CDF) platform enables IT leaders to define, deliver, and enforce security policies and procedures that suit their business needs. With CDF, organizations can not only defend themselves from today’s cyber threats but also prepare for the looming quantum apocalypse, which could render conventional encryption obsolete.
Aerobyte has an ambitious vision to fix the critical security flaws of the internet and safeguard the personal and private information of consumers, businesses, and governments. The only obstacle that the company faces is the scarcity of resources. However, the Aerobyte team is determined to overcome this challenge and offer the best service to their clients. As Howard, the founder, and CEO of Aerobyte, says, “When you know how to expose and eliminate the dark side of the internet and create a secure environment for everyone, it can be quite frustrating to be held back by limitations.”
The Quantum-Safe Security Leader
Howard is the Co-founder and CEO at Aerobyte but wears as many hats and takes responsibility for everything. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology, which sparked his interest in the tech industry. With his technical expertise and insight into technology trends, Howard quickly became a renowned designer of complex IT infrastructure solutions.
Throughout his career, he has worked with Fortune 500 companies and developed various solutions for Cyber Security, High-Performance Distributed Computing, and Quantum Resistant Encryption. At Aerobyte, Howard is a hands-on leader who does whatever it takes to get things done. He says, “There is no task that I will shy away from, especially when we lack the resources. Even if it’s something new to me, I will learn and figure out how to do it.” His current focus is on growing the executive team and advisory board to prepare for the next phase of expansion that the company is expecting.
The Pioneer of Quantum-Resistant Security
Howard always treats his clients as his top priority. By putting the client at the center of his approach, Aerobyte customizes the business process for each client. This results in higher customer satisfaction and long-term relationships and partnerships. The increasing cyber threats and the looming quantum apocalypse have accelerated the adoption of Aerobyte’s Security Architecture. Now organizations understand that traditional security systems are vulnerable and ineffective when most of their activity and information is outside their firewall and domain of control. Aerobyte has a clear roadmap that will create a safe and secure environment on the internet, opening up new markets and opportunities for how any company will operate on the digital frontier. Regarding the plans and the new tech innovation, Howard said, “I prefer to keep this a secret, as most organizations are still struggling to figure out how to implement and adopt Zero Trust, SASE, and SDP in their environments.”
