Regulation is accelerating this need. With over 50 billion devices connected to the internet, the security market for IoT is projected to reach $74 billion by 2026. This creates a massive opportunity to help critical sectors secure their smart devices. We estimate the annual TAM to be $920 million for the industrial sector alone. The medical, transportation, automotive, and defense sectors present further opportunities.aDolus is the first to market with a solution to analyze and authenticate device software. Early momentum and deep industry ties have yielded a growing database of 32 million records. Our vendor-agnostic platform positions aDolus to capture this lucrative and under-served market.

- LightIntegra Technology, Inc. — LightIntegra Technology is a privately funded medical diagnostics company and launched from the Canadian Blood Services R&D labs through the efforts of research scientist Dr. Elisabeth Maurer. LightIntegra strives to minimize platelet refractoriness. To this end, LightIntegra created ThromboLUX, a rapid in-vitro test that provides sizedistribution information for microparticles in blood products. As a routine test for platelet concentrates, ThromboLUX may identify which platelet units would be best suited for prophylaxis and which units are better suited for therapeutic use. Her years of research on platelet function led to a breakthrough discovery using dynamic light scattering to characterize platelets. Dr. Maurer recognized the opportunity to use this breakthrough - coupled with advances in laser and optics technology – to address a market need to provide a safe, quick and simple diagnostic test for microparticles, platelet quality and function.

- INGU — Currently, inline inspection in the oil and gas sector is a series of staged engineering events, designed to assess the condition of pipeline assets. It is costly, infrequent, and only addresses those lines that are within reach. In fact, it is estimated that 40% of the world’s pipelines are unpiggable. The vulnerabilities between inspections,which are typically years apart, or the inability to conduct inspections at all, puts the world’s aging pipeline infrastructure at risk. In order to address these issues, we have focused on changing the economics, the technology, and the workflow associated with inline inspection. We have introduced the industry’s first self-serve inspection model that eliminates significant engineering and downtime costs. We have developed miniature, multi sensor Pipers® technology that freely flows within any and all active pipelines, regardless of location, condition, material or configuration. This technology is capable of inspecting pipelines as small as 2 inches in diameter, and surveying for leaks, geometric defects, magnetic anomalies, and deposits in a single run. Further, we have reduced the cost of inline inspection by a factor of 10, making it possible for integrity programs to be more present, more often, across all of their assets. Finally, such accessible technology has given us the opportunity to work with a complete range of clients – large and small, private and public – resulting in rich datasets libraries that offer unprecedented contextual analysis and continuous advancement of our data analytics capabilities. Our approach provides clients with uninterrupted access to up-to-date condition-critical data, allowing them to optimize planning, decision-making, and actions.

Regulation is accelerating this need. With over 50 billion devices connected to the internet, the security market for IoT is projected to reach $74 billion by 2026. This creates a massive opportunity to help critical sectors secure their smart devices. We estimate the annual TAM to be $920 million for the industrial sector alone. The medical, transportation, automotive, and defense sectors present further opportunities.aDolus is the first to market with a solution to analyze and authenticate device software. Early momentum and deep industry ties have yielded a growing database of 32 million records. Our vendor-agnostic platform positions aDolus to capture this lucrative and under-served market.
