Security by Research: Product R&D Cooperation with SBA Research Pushes Frontier of Seamless IT Security at Commend
No doubt precaution is always better than healing. Not just where our biological immune system is concerned, but also when our IT equipment becomes the target of devious attacks from “cyberspace”. In that case, strong, seamless cyber-immunity “from the bottom up” is just as essential. All the more so when – as in the case of Commend’s security-critical systems – it’s not just financial and material assets that are at stake, but potentially even human lives. For this reason Commend’s engineers have for a long time been investing a lot of effort, budget resources and high-profile research partnerships in implementing the principle of “Privacy and Security by Design” as the standard for developing Cloud-native “Symphony” products. As a result, the products come with IT security embedded firmly in their technical genes from the earliest stages of development.

Smart Mobility – Steering Towards Tomorrow
Autonomous buses are starting to make their way into urban landscapes, paving the way for smarter and safer cities. They are primarily designed for first and last-mile connectivity and short routes and won't replace individual traffic or major public transport providers soon. But they have great potential to revolutionize urban mobility. Imagine riding on one of these buses - do you feel safe? In the face of an incident, who would you reach out to? Currently, larger autonomous buses retain attendants for passenger reassurance and immediate problem assistance. Despite impressive technical advances, machine-controlled vehicles can be unsettling. We believe that autonomous driving vehicles require autonomous passenger support!
