VISS
VISS ist ein Deep-Tech-Startup aus Deutschland, das Endpoint-Security neu denkt. Mit unserer VISSBOX machen wir Remote-Cyberangriffe technisch unmöglich: durch strikt physische Trennung, unidirektionale Datenpfade und ein vollständig unveränderbares OS. Rückwärtskompatibel, updatefrei, in 30 Sekunden einsatzbereit. Wir arbeiten mit starken Partnern wie CISPA und KIT und entwickeln unsere Technologie für anspruchsvollste Einsatzfelder: Militär, Kritische Infrastruktur und Enterprise-Umgebungen, u.a. gefördert durch das Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie & Raumfahrt.
