Four agreements have been announced between Breed Reply, Reply’s IoT investor, funding and supporting start-ups in the IoT space, and Callsign, Iotic Labs, Razorsecure and Senseye, bringing their portfolio to a total of 15.
"We are delighted to announce the further growth and diversification of our dedicated Iot portfolio," said Emanuele Angelidis, CEO of Breed Reply.
With Razorsecure and Callsign, Breed Reply reaffirms its presence in the security arena, whilst Senseye moves them into prognosis as a service in the rapidly growing Industrial IoT. The fourth investment brings Breed to the forefront of the connected devices market with Iotic Labs – a framework to enable the interaction of things.
Callsign has built the most comprehensive authentication platform for enterprises, financial institutions and consumer facing web companies. Built upon a non-repudiable military grade Crypto Engine, Callsign’s layered security approach provides a set of services that are unparalleled in the market today.
Iotic Labs have created Iotic Space, the trusted environment where anything can interact with anything. Data can be securely shared or exchanged, creating communities of unrelated things transforming services and enabling interventions and improvements that would not otherwise have been possible.
RazorSecure’s active monitoring software monitors systems continuously and alerts the instant that a system breach occurs. Combined with automated defence system and a low cost, low maintenance approach, RazorSecure is the ideal solution for difficult to manage small scale/IoT systems in harsh environments.
Senseye PROGNOSYS by Senseye helps manufacturers avoid down-time and save money. It automatically monitors the condition of machines and predicts future breakdowns, it’s scalable, simple to use and able to work with any equipment.

We have therefore just launched the fifth edition of Best in Breed from which I expect further substantial results.”
