Government Users Deserve User-Friendly Technology: Aegis Products Are the Solution for Secure Connected Devices
When Cog Systems created its Aegis brand, its goal was to create secure communication products, including mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices that met the highest standards for security while being “commercial” in their design. Cog Systems also wanted to instill the construct of modularity, both in hardware and software, to create a best-in-class approach to bringing security to Aegis devices.
Applicable to both hardware and software solutions, Aegis focuses on building secure products. By acquiring Cog Systems, Riverside Research commits to integrating Aegis into its impressive portfolio of service products, many of which the national security nonprofit specifically develops for government customers as IRAD projects.
Aegis provides a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) perspective to government products, delivering the level of security our government and regulated enterprise customers demand using a commercial approach. As a regular consumer, you expect to buy a smartphone, tablet, laptop, tv, or car and figure out how to use it. The Aegis design is similar to products you’ve used before, so using the device feels familiar and intuitive.
“Blending the required high assurance security solutions that our government customers demand with a view through the commercial lens is critical.” said Carl Nerup, Vice President of Business Development, formerly CEO of Cog Systems. “The recognition of the Aegis brand as the premium commercial product that delivers on cutting edge security solutions is the ultimate goal.”
Typically, government products don’t employ a user interface (UI) that’s similar to commercial technology the average citizen has used before. A warfighter fresh out of high school might be an advanced coder and a Call of Duty player skilled at navigating code and console games – but using software with a UI that looks like it was made before they were born creates a significant adoption hurdle. With a government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) solution, a more intuitive interface using the Aegis approach costs less to produce and is user-friendly, while taking less time to learn to rapidly deliver on the promise we make to our warfighters.
With our Aegis products, Riverside Research can create customized, modular products. Government employees deserve sleek, intuitive, cost-effective, easy-to-use secure connected devices – and Aegis makes that happen. Contact us for inquiries.
