AKMSecure published the 2026 assessment data from Dragos indicating that oil and gas ranks worst in three OT security categories at once with malware detection gaps at 37%, vulnerability management findings at 31%, and poor IT/OT segmentation at 29%

AKM was founded to solve a problem that most in the cybersecurity industry have accepted as unsolvable: how to embed true Zero Trust into every transaction — without relying on legacy Public Key Infrastructure, excessive overhead, or fragile workarounds. Our founding team came together with over 100 years of combined experience across aerospace, defense, critical infrastructure, and embedded systems. We’ve built avionics for Airbus, security protocols for Boeing, hardened control systems for global rail networks, and contributed to international Cybersecurity OT standards like IEC 62443 and CENELEC TS-50701. We saw firsthand how existing solutions—particularly PKI—fail to scale, struggle to comply, and leave even air-gapped systems vulnerable. So we built something BETTER. AKM SecureKey is a quantum-resilient cybersecurity platform that eliminates the need for traditional certificates and central authorities. It is the only software solution that fulfills all tenets of the CIA Triad—Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability—at the frame level. Our patented architecture ensures every endpoint, every transmission, and every device is authenticated, encrypted, and secure by design. It works offline or online, in a factory, on a satellite, or under the sea. With a one-time setup, there no need for external validation, and zero ongoing maintenance, AKM flips the cybersecurity model from reactive to resilient. And, for environments requiring extra hardening, our low-cost hardware companion module brings added protection — with a path to further scalability via FPGA or ASIC.
