CEDIA Expo 2021, running September 1-3 at the Indiana Convention Center, has welcomed the return of the TechStarter Five program, which gives Launchpad (formerly known as Innovation Alley) exhibitors the opportunity to pitch their business models to VIP industry judges in a “Shark Tank” style competition.
At the event, the VIP Judges canvass the Launchpad exhibitors to identify new brands with strong and unique business models and an inspired vision for their product or service. From these candidates, they select the five brands they believe are the strongest contenders for industry impact and long-term success.

guardDog.ai uses AI-driven network overlay technology to find and protect attempted cyberattacks in less than two milliseconds by identifying the threats device and network management solutions can’t see and proactively halting potential exploits before they begin.
In wired and Wi-Fi networks, guardDog protects users from the threats in the edge territory that lies outside the perimeter of the network or on attached devices that other solutions can’t see, including the myriad of IoT devices such as digital doorbells, smart refrigerators, and game systems that are inherently vulnerable to the networks they join.
guardDog.ai uses patent-pending artificial intelligence to pre-emptively recognize, expose, and shut down cybersecurity threats before an attack can happen. The company uses the Fido “plug and protect” network overlay device to access guardDog.ai Protective Cloud Services (PCS). PCS combats threats with Autonomous Incident Response (AiR) technology, using artificial intelligence to detect cyber threats and instantly shuts attacks down before they compromise privacy and security. The service protects its users against the latest threats that arise in the form of ransomware, man-in-the-middle attacks, denial of service, and emerging novel threats, to protect networks and the devices attached to them.
