Exein & Deutsche Telekom: Device Security Meets Global Connectivity
7 Oct
Summary
- Exein's device security now integrated with Deutsche Telekom's global IoT connectivity.
- Partnership addresses urgent need for security in autonomous physical AI devices.
- Exein recently secured $270 million, valuing the company at $1.7 billion.
Exein, a leading physical AI cybersecurity company, has announced a significant partnership with Deutsche Telekom IoT. This collaboration merges Exein's advanced device-level security solutions with Deutsche Telekom's extensive global connectivity network.
The partnership is poised to address a critical gap in securing intelligent, business-critical applications that are increasingly operating directly on field devices. This includes autonomous robots, drones, and industrial machinery making real-world decisions.
Exein's security technology, already safeguarding over two billion devices worldwide, features its Photon architecture. This technology operates at the kernel level, providing preemptive defense against malicious execution, even in environments with limited connectivity.
The recent announcement coincides with Exein's successful $270 million funding round, which achieved a valuation of $1.7 billion, establishing it as Europe's most valuable cybersecurity startup. Deutsche Telekom's investment arm, T.Capital, was among the lead investors.
Both companies emphasized the necessity of integrated security and connectivity for the growing Internet of Things (IoT) landscape. They aim to provide customers with a more robust and secure foundation for deploying and scaling connected devices throughout their lifecycle.
