A British multi-patented cyber kill-switch, developed and used by UK Ministry of Defence and deployed by Ukrainian CyberCommand will now be ‘Made in America’, using US components.
Goldilock, creator of the unique physical network isolation solution Drawbridge, has signed a US development and production deal with bespoke machine manufacturer Patriot Tools using its “measurably secure” production methods for critical infrastructure.
Commonly referred to as a ‘cyber kill-switch’, the license grants Patriot Tools the right to manufacture and supply Drawbridge within the United States for five years, using solely US-made and sourced components.
Goldilock’s US expansion marks the next era of the company’s growth after the launch last month of their facility at the Technology Advancement Center in Maryland.
“Goldilock has been obsessive about our own processes and materials since day 1, by producing everything in-house or sourcing exclusively from vetted suppliers within NATO and the EU,” says Goldilock CEO Tony Hasek.
“We want to bring that same level of security and peace of mind to our US clients – Patriot Tools provides the level of integrity we have been seeking.”
Patriot Tools CEO Scott Palmer said: “As an American manufacturer, delivering trust in the form of ‘measurably secure’ devices is the foundation of our business. We look forward to building on our collaboration with Goldilock to secure American businesses’ OT and IT infrastructure.”
