We are proud to announce that Rixon Technology has been selected for an independent cybersecurity evaluation by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a respected Washington-based think tank advising the White House and U.S. policymakers on national security, critical infrastructure protection, and technological innovation.
Who Is the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD)?
FDD is recognized for its influential role in shaping U.S. cybersecurity and national security policy through extensive research and strategic evaluations. Their Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation (CCTI) actively advances cyber resilience, identifies groundbreaking technologies, and shapes policy frameworks critical for protecting national interests.
What Is Rixon’s Zero Data Architecture (ZDA)?
Rixon’s Zero Data Architecture (ZDA) is a revolutionary approach to cybersecurity, moving beyond traditional encryption-dependent solutions.
- Vaultless: Removes the vulnerabilities and storage overhead associated with traditional data vaults.
- Keyless: Eliminates risks from encryption key mismanagement and theft.
- Policy-Enforced: Provides granular, real-time, stakeholder-defined access controls.
This robust framework directly addresses critical cybersecurity threats, including:
- Cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs)
- Insider threats
- Encryption failure and systemic compromise
Key Cybersecurity Features Under Evaluation by FDD
FDD’s rigorous evaluation of ZDA will focus on several critical features, demonstrating why Rixon’s technology is uniquely suited to address current and emerging cybersecurity challenges:
✅ Quantum Resilience
ZDA ensures pseudonymized data remains secure and unusable even in scenarios of cryptographic compromise, providing effective protection against quantum computing threats.
✅ Cross-Border Data Sovereignty
Enforced regional controls and comprehensive compliance frameworks, including GDPR and DPF, ensure robust global data protection and regulatory alignment.
✅ Zero Trust at the Data Layer
Continuous, real-time verification of user roles, purposes, and contexts before granting access, aligning with and extending the principles of Zero Trust Architecture.
✅ Confidential Processing
Secure analytics and AI processes run on fully pseudonymized data, eliminating raw data exposure and the need for re-identification.
✅ Operational Resilience and Survivability
AI-driven, self-repairing capabilities maintain security and operational continuity even during breaches, infrastructure compromises, or advanced persistent threats (APTs).
✅ Auditability and Non-Repudiation
Detailed, cryptographically secured audit trails, real-time compliance enforcement, and capabilities for consent management and GDPR-compliant “Right to Be Forgotten” implementations.
Why This Evaluation Matters
The evaluation by FDD’s CCTI underscores the urgent need to transition beyond vulnerable, traditional encryption models. This independent validation will examine Rixon’s technology for compliance readiness, scalability, and viability as a national model for secure data governance in the quantum computing era.
Industries That Will Benefit from ZDA
Government, financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure sectors will benefit from Rixon’s quantum-resilient, policy-driven approach to data protection, enabling compliance, operational resilience, and future-proof cybersecurity.
What’s Next? How to Prepare for the Quantum Era
At Rixon Technology, we believe this evaluation by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies will showcase the true power and necessity of our Zero Data Architecture. As cybersecurity demands accelerate into the quantum era, our approach offers a forward-thinking framework for national resilience and compliance readiness.
