Taekion™ to Build Its Transactive Cybersecurity Platform on Hedera Hashgraph

Taekion™, an AI and distributed ledger based cybersecurity platform, announced today that its transactive distributed ledger will use the Hedera hashgraph distributed ledger platform. In offline networks, Taekion will also partner with SmartMesh for mesh networking applications.

Taekion enables connected devices to disappear from public networks and safely transact with other devices and smart contracts. It offers Entry-to-Endpoint Cybersecurity™ (E2EC) via an application funnel that eliminates threat vectors and reduces the attack surface of edge computing networks.

“With Hedera, we will build and scale a superfast transactive distributed ledger on top of our cybersecure fabric stretching across billions, then trillions of interconnected things,” said David A. Cohen, Taekion’s founder and CEO and Hashgraph advisor.

The Hedera hashgraph platform will offer a public, distributed ledger that enables anyone to easily develop secure, fair, lightning fast, globally distributed applications.

Cohen added, “We firmly believe in Hedera’s blazing fast transaction speeds, low transaction fees, bank-grade security and governance system that will allow us to discretely build out critical infrastructure solutions into the future. Hedera will support our dual ledger approach, using our native security blockchain to identify and secure devices, and the Hedera-based distributed ledger to transfer value within the Hedera public network.”

“Cybersecurity is an ideal use-case for distributed ledger technology and Taekion’s application of it can potentially change the way that trillions of devices will interact securely,” said Jordan Fried, VP of business development for Hedera. “With the backing of the Department of Energy (DoE) and others, Taekion is well positioned to deliver on the goal of secure device-to-device communication and we are thrilled that they have selected to build their offering on the Hedera platform.”

About Taekion

Taekion’s mission is to provide cybersecurity to billions of people and device using our patent pending blockchain and AI based platform that will provide the basis for a true cybersecure exchange of value and automated transactions for the machine economy. Our platform is designed to provide cybersecurity across privacy-critical, mission-critical and life-critical applications as well as everyday systems such as vehicles, electric grids, homes, buildings, hospitals, banks and factories. Taekion is an AI and blockchain based platform offering our Entry-to-Endpoint Cybersecurity (E2EC) protocol, via an application funnel that eliminates threat vectors and reduces the attack surface of edge computing networks. The Taekion platform leverages a dual blockchain approach. The first is a security blockchain used to identify and secure devices, and the second, a transactive blockchain that enables the transfer of value and financial microtransactions.
