AmiShare - Secure Resilient Edge Data Mesh

Kinnami AmiShare enables secure, resilient data sharing and access in contested, disconnected, and multi-domain defense environments.

Why it mattersKinnami provides a secure resilient data mesh software solution, AmiShare, for the computing edge on satellites, drones, IoT, and autonomous systems, as well as the cloud and data centers using an innovative distributed peer-to-peer data management and security platform that safeguards sensitive information, regardless of where it is accessed or who is accessing it, facilitating secure information storage and access across multiple devices and networks, even in contested environments. Our software features a distributed peer-to-peer data management and security software platform enabling holistic management of data protection and data security while ensuring availability of high-value data from edge device to cloud. Our platform provides the auditing to be able track data sharing and usage across domains as well as an AI/ML based policy engine to manage all this data at the edge.We are currently working on several efforts in both the defense sector with the Air Force and the Army in areas such as secure resilient data transport at the tactical edge and in the commercial markets in areas such as 5G and recently won the NATO Innovation Challenge on Data Resilience. Kinnami’s AmiShare solution is especially relevant to the following areas listed above: 1. Battle Management: Kinnami’s AmiShare is purpose-built to provide the data infrastructure needed to enable battle management and tactical edge computing capabilities across a distributed set of platforms and systems. It operates in a storage, application, and network-agnostic manner enabling the deployment of the technology in diverse edge computing applications. AmiShare also provides the resilient backbone for data management at the contested tactical edge and is the trusted mechanism to deploy AI in a tactical edge application. 2. Comms and data links (including collaboration between users with different permissions and security clearances): Kinnami is currently working with the Air Force’s 645th AESG “Big Safari” Compass Call program to develop a software-based solution for Multi-Level Security on board the Compass Call EW aircraft. This will be a significant improvement over traditional hardware-based cross-domain solutions, which are the state of the art for addressing MLS needs. This will address the specific needs around collaboration between users with different permissions and security clearances across organizational boundaries. 3. Cyber Defense (including “inside the network” anomaly detection and rapid/adaptive response): At its core, Kinnami’s AmiShare is a data management solution that enables a data-centric Zero Trust approach to securing mission-critical data at rest (on devices ranging from low-SWAP edge platforms to large-scale servers) and in transit. AmiShare also provides several capabilities for intelligent obfuscation of data. These address cybersecurity from a primarily defensive perspective.
