About Perygee
Perygee is a complete and lightweight platform for IoT/OT security that is easy to set up and configurable by the enterprise client. While other solutions secure IoT from the inside out and protect only the most critical endpoints, Perygee is designed to prevent threats from ever touching the firmware of the device. Perygee offers device-specific security, real-time visibility, and performance enhancement for the entire life cycle of new and legacy devices.
Why Now
Co-Founder & CEO Mollie Breen learned just how vulnerable OT and IoT devices are during her time working at the National Security Agency (NSA), where she led a team charged with improving foundational security at the Department of Defense. IoT sensors are now everywhere, from coffee makers to window blinds to critical infrastructure like power grids. A network is only as strong as its weakest link—so, as the number of devices increases, so does the number of vulnerabilities.
By 2027, there will be 30.4 billion B2B OT devices in the US, and every device can be an entry point for a hacker. Securing them depends on multiple factors (e.g. vendor, type of device, where it’s located); and since many of them are critical to business operations or, in the case of healthcare, critical to human life, keeping them online and secure is key. Perygee is right on time to usher in a more secure, connected future for businesses.
