Exein branding will feature on the rear wing actuator of the VF-26 challenger from this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, while the two organisations will also collaborate on initiatives that highlight the growing importance of cybersecurity, innovation and technological excellence in high-performance environments.
Formula 1 represents one of the world’s most technologically advanced sporting environments, where engineering excellence, precision and continuous innovation determine success. The partnership reflects the growing role of software and cybersecurity in high-performance engineering, bringing together two organisations focused on innovation at the cutting edge of technology.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to engineering excellence, innovation and high performance. Founded in Rome in 2018, Exein develops runtime cybersecurity technology that protects more than two billion connected devices across sectors including automotive, industrial automation, energy, healthcare, aerospace and robotics. This latest milestone comes following the launch of Photon, Exein’s next-generation preemptive security solution, and recent growth across the US and Asia-Pacific. Photon prevents cyberattacks before they can execute by protecting systems directly at kernel level, enabling Exein to secure Physical AI, humanoid robotics and connected systems, while safeguarding data, AI agents, cloud workloads and Linux-based environments throughout their lifecycle.
Gianni Cuozzo, Founder and CEO of Exein, said: “Formula 1 represents one of the world’s greatest demonstrations of engineering excellence, where every detail matters and continuous innovation is essential to staying competitive. Those same principles have shaped Exein from day one. We’re proud to partner with TGR Haas F1 Team, bringing together two organisations united by a passion for technology, precision and performance on the global stage.”
Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal at TGR Haas F1 Team, said: “Formula 1 is built on innovation, precision and the confidence that every system performs exactly as intended. As our sport continues to embrace increasingly advanced technologies, cybersecurity has become an integral part of that landscape. We’re proud to welcome Exein to our team, as their expertise in protecting Physical AI Systems aligns naturally with the technical environment we operate in, and we look forward to building a successful relationship together over the coming years.”
