Want to ensure your mission runs securely and can't be denied even if it's compromised?

Discover how you can secure your mission and automatically disable compromises in your network without extracting compromises.

CRYSTALVISTA Core (CV) is an unclassified capability you can bolt onto existing comms channels to enable secure, high-speed, quantum-resistant, resilient data transport including thru space (up to 100 Gbps with 95% Bandwidth utilization globally). CV Core spreads your data across all available channels using dynamic load balancing based on real-time throughput and latency; you can lose multiple channels, and your mission continues uninterrupted.

We also discovered a way to secure already-compromised systems without detecting, locating, and extracting the compromises, and it even works against active nation-state "hackers". We call this endpoint security technique "CRYSTALVISTA++" (CV++).

"Zero Trust" is all about zoning networks, isolating access, and containing any compromises, but if a zero-day goes active, you could lose control of your assets ... while you run forensics to locate and extract a compromise. Can you afford to postpone missile launches, data transport, or spacecraft T&C for hours, days, or weeks to locate and extract a compromise? Our CV++ concept lets you use your system securely and NOT be denied ... while automatically disabling compromises ... even if you don't know the compromises are there. And you can use CV++ with any "Zero Trust" methodology or product you wish.

Use CV++ by itself to secure your network ... or combine CV++ with CV Core to protect your missions end-to-end globally where you can only be denied by (1) adversaries wiping out or jamming ALL available comms channels, or (2) physically destroying your system or comms path.

In this presentation, you will see how CV and CV++ work, and if we have time, we'll prove it works with on-the-spot demos.
