Foundation of Modern Digital Economic Security | Nikita Bondarenko (CETHERA)

Nikita Bondarenko, CEO and chief engineer at CETHERA, discusses security for digital commerce and AI at the Humanoids Summit.

In this talk

  1. 0:39

    Security for AI and digital commerce

    Bondarenko frames the GPU as a landmark that helped drive the current technology ecosystem. He says CETHERA is developing a quantum security processing unit to handle security and cryptographic work as companies adopt AI and automation.

  2. 1:22

    A hardware security accelerator

    He describes the QSPU as an accelerator that offloads security and cryptographic operations from a server, much as a GPU handles graphics. Bondarenko says it uses quantum-resistant algorithms developed by CETHERA and is a compact PCIe card intended for server networks.

  3. 1:43

    Monitoring and customers

    Bondarenko names KT and SKT as customers and says CETHERA is working to scale as a startup. He also describes Adalan, a proprietary neural-network-simulated security monitoring system that tracks the process in real time.

  4. 3:21

    Pricing and audience questions

    In response to an audience question, Bondarenko gives a price of about $11,000 per hardware unit. He says the hardware costs $9,000 and Adalan carries an annual subscription of about $3,000 to $6,000.
