Satoshi Holdings Wins Innovation Award in Cybersecurity at CES 2026

KOSDAQ-listed Satoshi Holdings (formerly Deepmind Platform) announced on the 6th that it has won the Innovation Award in the Cybersecurity category at CES 2026, to be held in Las Vegas, USA, for its quantum-secure drone platform 'ARGUS-Q™'.

CES 2026 is scheduled to take place over four days from January 6 to 9 next year, under the theme 'AI in Everything, Quantum Everywhere.' More than 4,300 companies and 1,200 startups from around the world are expected to participate. The event is anticipated to serve as a hub for global networking and new technology collaboration. According to the organizers, as of 2025, the event will attract participants and visitors from over 150 countries, with more than 140,000 attendees expected.

CES 2026 is a global stage leading technological trends, where companies unveil their market strategies and technological directions for the next one to two years.

A company representative stated, "This award marks a case where South Korea has successfully applied post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technology to a real-world drone system," adding, "It is an official recognition that the nation's defense and telecommunications technologies have reached a global level in the field of quantum-secure communications."

ARGUS-Q™ goes beyond a simple drone control system, serving as a quantum-secure 3D smart platform that enables safe and precise autonomous search in environments that are out of sight or too dangerous for human access. It integrates real-time video, artificial intelligence (AI) detection, and multi-drone swarm control functions to support innovative missions in disaster response, military operations, environmental surveys, and more.

The core of this system is the PQC encryption technology transferred from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in Korea. This allows for real-time autonomous control and data sharing among dozens of heterogeneous AI drones, ensuring security even in quantum computing environments. All video, sensor, and control signals are end-to-end encrypted, preventing interception or tampering during operation. This security and distributed control technology is expected to set the standard for global drone control security in the future.

Additionally, the quantum-resistant encryption communication module encrypts all data between drones and the control system in real time and is composed of edge devices equipped with secure chipsets and lightweight encryption algorithms. The secure UI/UX visualizes communication logs generated during missions and provides real-time alerts to operators through a tamper detection notification system.

By applying PQC encryption technology, Satoshi Holdings has completely encrypted all communication signals regardless of component origin, simultaneously resolving risks related to hardware dependency and security vulnerabilities.

The company stated, "Through PQC encryption technology, Korea has secured communication independence and security sovereignty, laying the foundation for a 'quantum-secure global standard.' This will be a groundbreaking turning point in the standardization of the drone industry, diversification of exports, and securing supply chain security."

The ARGUS-Q™ platform has implemented an integrated system that connects detection, interception, and neutralization into a three-stage defense network, enabling real-time automated response. Through three technological innovations-quantum-secure swarm control, low-cost and low-power high-precision detection, and real-time encrypted 3D path generation-the platform achieves both operational efficiency and safety for drone operations. It can calculate 3D coordinates with an error margin of ±1 meter using only a single RGB camera and IMU, enabling precise detection without the need for expensive LiDAR sensors.

Furthermore, it is equipped with a digital twin-based 3D geo-engine that automatically generates optimal encrypted flight paths by reflecting terrain and altitude information.

Experts believe that this CES award marks a turning point for Korea to lead a new industrial paradigm of 'quantum-secure drones.'

A Satoshi Holdings representative stated, "Going forward, we plan to expand exports to various high value-added markets, including military, disaster response, and environmental surveys, centered on the ARGUS-Q™ platform, which combines quantum security, AI autonomous flight, and digital twin technologies."
