The gap

Too much data, too little intelligence

Modern threats need modern signal. Traditional stacks were not built for real-time video understanding at scale.

Security gaps

Legacy systems miss threats in real time—facilities stay exposed when identification lags.

73%

of breaches go undetected in SA

Slow response

Outdated tooling stretches detection-to-response windows—intruders gain minutes, not seconds.

6.2hrs

average response delay

Compliance pressure

Balancing privacy with security is non-trivial; missteps create regulatory and reputational risk.

R42M

average breach cost

Made in Switzerland

Detect. Identify. Protect.
