Detect cyber attacks on critical physical infrastructure
Palitronica builds and deploys cutting-edge solutions to defend critical physical infrastructure and its supply chain. By using side-channel information from endpoints, Palitronica provides a safe attack detection capability retrofittable to critical systems.
Palitronica provides electronics testing and cybersecurity solutions rooted in AI and physics to detect defects, fraud, and supply chain risks in hardware. Their platform supports manufacturing and cyber supply chain assurance, emphasizing zero-trust, non-destructive testing and IP security.
Anvil Checkpoint is a fully black-box electronics hardware testing platform that non-destructively tests assemblies, components, or modules. It uses AI to detect anomalies by comparing against a verified baseline (golden sample) without exposing your designs or IP. It offers broad-spectrum detection of known and unknown issues, supports multiple interfaces (existing connectors or bed-of-nails fixtures), and targets a wide range of hardware including modules and microcircuits. Palitronica also markets solutions for manufacturing quality control and cyber supply chain assurance to ensure authenticity, integrity, and quality of electronics hardware.
Who it’s for: Industrial/manufacturing companies and defense/aerospace sectors seeking hardware quality assurance, anti-counterfeit, and cyber supply chain integrity for electronics
Has established product offerings (Anvil Checkpoint, manufacturing and supply chain solutions) and mentions partnerships with organizations in the industry; shows patents and active product campaigns, suggesting early traction and ongoing development
Sebastian Fischmeister is the CEO and co-founder of Palitronica Inc, Professor at the University of Waterloo, and has over 20 years of R&D experience in safety and security of safety-critical embedded systems.
I am an electronics engineer with a passion for both analog and digital electronics. Originally, my passion for the analog side manifested as an audiophile and enthusiast about all electronics for high-end audio, whereas my passion for the digital side manifested as an embedded systems and later a computer security enthusiast. Fate had it that modern cybersecurity would leverage the analog-domain side of digital electronics — found my real passion in the world of embedded systems security!
