Breakthrough NXM Autonomous Security Technology Protects Space Infrastructure and IoT Devices from Cyberattacks
Next generation Zero-Trust cybersecurity software eliminates network-wide device hacks and defends against critical IoT vulnerabilities
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – June 30, 2022 – NXM Labs, Inc., a leader in advanced cybersecurity software for connected devices, today unveiled its NXM Autonomous Security™ platform that prevents hackers from gaining unauthorized access to commercial, industrial, medical, or consumer internet of things (IoT) devices. Tested in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology (Caltech), NXM successfully demonstrated the ability of its groundbreaking technology to enable future Mars rovers to automatically defend themselves and recover from cyberattacks. Caltech manages JPL on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
NXM’s engineers worked with JPL's Artificial Intelligence, Analytics and Innovation Division, Information Technology and Solutions Directorate (ITSD), along with the Robotic Surface Mobility Group in Pasadena, CA to integrate the company’s software with the navigation and ground control systems of JPL’s self-driving Athena test rover. During testing, NXM’s software successfully detected unauthorized attempts to gain access to the rover’s autonomous navigation systems, automatically protecting the vehicle from harm in real-time without impacting normal driving operations.
Tests showed that NXM's platform was capable of securing millions of devices with virtually no impact on network latency and is able to operate up to 1000x faster than other decentralized platforms previously tested by the U.S. Department of Defense under simulated battlefield conditions.
"NXM's technology is game-changing," said Lt. General Harry D. Raduege, Jr., USAF (Ret), former Director, Defense Information Systems Agency and CIO for the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Space Command. "NXM provides a new layer of cybersecurity that enables unified command and control, as well as data interoperability, providing an unprecedented capability that we have long sought but until now wasn't possible." Lt. General Raduege serves as an advisor to NXM.
The Athena test rover was developed by JPL as part of NASA’s High Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) program to develop new computing technologies with vastly more capabilities than current spaceflight computers. JPL engineers harnessed the advanced computing power of the rover’s off-the-shelf NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform to develop innovative, machine learning-based applications for future Mars rovers. This includes artificial intelligence software that identifies objects of scientific interest as a vehicle traverses the Martian terrain, using vision-based navigation and path planning software to significantly increase the driving distances of energy-limited rovers.
“We’re thrilled to have collaborated with NASA JPL to show how our security can protect critical assets in space as well as here on Earth,” said Scott Rankine, NXM’s President and Co-founder. “Our unique zero-trust and zero-touch security software is chip and cloud agnostic, enabling device manufacturers and their component suppliers to easily and cost-effectively develop the industry’s most trustworthy products that can be deployed rapidly and remain secure for their entire operating lifetime.”

NeuronicWorks Partners with NXM Labs to enhance security solutions across IoT product development process
NeuronicWorks, Inc., a leading engineering and technology design firm, today announced a new partnership with NXM Labs, Inc., a leader in Autonomous Security technology for connected devices that enables scalable security solutions for IoT device design and development.
As IoT technology advances across diversified applications such as intelligent sensing, smart health, transportation controls, payment terminals, connected devices in general are at an increased information security risk. It is critical for all elements of an IoT system to securely connect, authenticate and communicate while ensuring privacy and preventing cybersecurity attacks. In terms of IoT end-point product design, security should be implemented right from the beginning, at all layers of the system from hardware and operating system to firmware and application layer.
NXM offers an easy-to-use platform that speeds up embedded development, capable of securing an entire IoT solution. NXM solutions complement and augments NeuronicWorks’ product design and development services by providing IoT security capabilities that are both chip and cloud agnostic. NXM’s PSA certification and UL component qualification framework also offers a fast-track to security verification and certification for IoT products.
“This partnership accentuates our complementary strengths to deliver secure, scalable, and efficient IoT devices that are ready for the future. As the world continues to shrink and increased connectivity becomes the order of the day, it is imperative to adopt technologies that will make our devices not just smarter, but safer and we aim to achieve this through our partnership.” said Titu Botos, CEO of NeuronicWorks.
“Our partnership allows us to leverage each company's leading-edge strengths in IoT Design and IoT Security to take advantage of the advanced capabilities of security enabled chips now entering the market. This makes NeuronicWorks and NXM the go-to team for building best-in-class IoT solutions for the home, commercial, and industrial sectors that operate securely in zero-trust environments with zero-touch capabilities.” said Andrew Opala, NXM Labs’ CEO.
