Its core thesis has evolved from IoT security to what the industry now calls Physical AI - autonomous systems driven by artificial intelligence that interact with the real world.

Photon, built on that infrastructure, is the company's preventive platform for Physical AI.

These make it easier and cheaper for attackers to target physical devices in novel ways.

To counter this, Exein is training a foundational model for Physical AI security using machine data and telemetrics.

The company's bet is that security must live inside the device itself, functioning like a digital immune system for connected hardware.
