Who we areBiotechnology is shifting from analog to digital. Mass adoption of digitization, lab automation, e-commerce, and AI creates new gaps in security and safety. We need new security solutions purpose-built for biology.Cybersecurity infrastructure helped build a safer internet, especially as regulated industries like finance and healthcare went digital. We are building a safer bioeconomy as biotechnology makes its own shift. While cybersecurity protects our information, biosecurity protects all living things from our health to our food stock to our environment.We're a biological security and safety platform founded by Professor Harris Wang at Columbia University. We're building the infrastructure to prevent misuse, enable responsible research, and protect national security. We work with some of the leading biotech manufacturers and governments in security and compliance.What we doOur platform manages security and compliance for biotech manufacturers and service providers, helping them comply with guidelines and regulations. Using our sequence analysis and identity platform, we detect concerning activity and ensure responsible use.
