MISI, a cybersecurity nonprofit driving small business and academic engagement, STEM and workforce development opportunities, and proof of concept innovation, is pleased to be an official partner of Maryland’s Global Gateway Soft Landing Program.  Managed by the Maryland Department of Commerce, the programme provides international companies with an opportunity to test out their viability in the U.S. market. Facility access As a Soft Landing partner, MISI will be issued grants to provide approved companies with access to facilities, resources, advisors, and more. The participating companies will be able to place personnel in Maryland for a period of six months, and MISI will arrange events, and mentorship, and guide them through doing business in Maryland and across the U.S. High-tech job opportunities These businesses will be considered for an advantage to permanently open an office within the state of Maryland MISI will host its first Soft Landing participants in Azimuth 24, a distinct space within MISI’s Cyber Mission Accelerator facilities, starting on Sept. 1, 2023. At the end of the initial six-month period, these businesses will be considered for an advantage to permanently open an office within the state of Maryland, and along with that, bring high-tech job opportunities to the region. Flexxon The first international company participating through MISI is Flexxon. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Singapore, Flexxon is a next-generation storage device manufacturer, specialising in hardware-based cybersecurity solutions and industrial NAND flash storage devices. Camellia Chan, Co-Founder and CEO of Flexxon shared, “Flexxon is honoured to be the first international company to participate in MISI’s engagement with the Maryland Global Gateway Soft Landing Program."  Advancement of cybersecurity Camellia Chan adds, "This is a significant stride towards Flexxon’s strategic expansion within the U.S. market. By actively elevating cybersecurity standards and fostering innovation across borders, we are resolutely addressing the escalating threat of cybercrime." Camellia Chan continues, "We welcome MISI’s support and are enthusiastic about the prospect of contributing to the advancement of cybersecurity solutions on a global scale." Addressing cybercrime threats “MISI is honoured to play a role in supporting global companies that are interested in bringing innovative, cutting-edge technology to the U.S.,” said TC Hoot, MISI Senior Program Manager. TC Hoot adds, “Our mission is to work with non-traditional companies that have the potential to address the U.S. Department of Defence and other government cybersecurity needs. We look forward to seeing how companies like Flexxon with a focus on addressing cybercrime threats take advantage of this programme and to walking with them along their journey.”

Camellia Chan, CEO and co-founder of Flexxon: “The Energy One cyber-attack demonstrates the increasing risk threat actors pose to critical national infrastructure (CNI). CNI, such as oil and gas, is a prime target for cybercriminals – systems are underpinned by a myriad of complex devices, meaning the consequences if these are infiltrated can be devastating and put real people at risk. For example, SSE supplies gas and electricity to seven million homes and is an Energy One customer." "The good news is, it appears to company acted swiftly to minimise impact and investigations are ongoing, but it could have been much worse. To meet the fast-evolving threat landscape, businesses need to be proactive in assessing security gaps and address those with innovative and proven tools. Using low-level AI at the hardware level in devices, for example, is a game-changer. Unlike traditional cybersecurity measures, this robust last line of defence protects against sophisticated attacks while removing the need for human intervention. Ultimately, for all organisations, but CNI in particular, cyber security must be an integral part of IT systems. One Energy shows us you can’t afford to have weak spots.”
