Andrew Carter, President and Co-Founder of ResilienX and CEO Ryan Pleskach sat down with Drones in America host Grant Guillot to discuss the increasing importance of security in UAS operations and their unique approach to safely managing drone ecosystems.

Formed by the same engineers that created the U.S. Army’s Ground Based Sense and Avoid System, ResilienX formed in 2018 with the foresight, “…to understand that that kind of system was going to be needed for the future of drone operations.”

Pleskach and Carter hope to transform drone deliveries for months and years to come with the ResilienX FRAIHMWORK: Fault Recovery and Isolation Health Monitoring frameWORK which highlights the increasing importance of security in UAS operations and provides “safety assurance for autonomous ecosystems.”

Guillot emphasized the importance of integrating public trust into future FAA decisions and drone acceptance. Pleskach highlighted that ResilienX adds to this, “Our solution will integrate horizontally across these ecosystems and allow for increased data transfers, trust in data, data quality assurance…”

Carter added that the goal is to provide a product that can monitor the drone ecosystem and provide safety assurance. One of the ways ResilienX does this is through partnering with cybersecurity-focused companies to create a contingency management platform.

ResilienX acknowledged that through working with a drone ecosystem in lieu of system to system, the fluidity of the operation is fast-paced and constantly evolving. This aids in the development and acknowledgement of innovation within the ecosystem.

As the FAA continues to publish new memorandums and regulations on the topic of autonomous systems and the integrity, safety, and management of these products, ResilienX aims to deliver.

Carter remarked on the safety assurance aspect of drones and the scalability of such a product. There is a need for performance validation and verification that everything is working correctly in order for there to be buy-in from the public.

To test these waters, Carter said that the company is rolling out pilot programs throughout the U.S. within the next 3 to 6 months and as the future unfolds, start to look towards the skies.

Truvant picks QAD | Redzone to run all seven packaging campuses on one system

Truvant picks QAD | Redzone to run all seven packaging campuses on one system

Contract packager Truvant selected QAD | Redzone for a cloud-based transformation spanning seven campuses in the United States and Poland. Configured once and copied without custom code, the QAD Adaptive ERP, Redzone and ChampionAI stack is meant to become Truvant's template for bringing acquired plants aboard. Rollout planning is underway.

  • 01For a contract packager integrating acquisitions, a repeatable global template could speed onboarding each new site.
  • 02Truvant piloted Redzone at one site before expanding. A key test is onboarding a new site on the standard configuration.

Park Place's AI health scores rate hardware from 0 to 100 against peer models

Park Place's AI health scores rate hardware from 0 to 100 against peer models

ParkView Asset Intelligence from Park Place Technologies scores servers, storage and network gear from 0 to 100 using more than 35 years of maintenance records. Each device is benchmarked against similar hardware by manufacturer, product family and product line. For organizations running hardware past OEM support, the company says the scores supply documented evidence to justify that decision.

  • 01Regional spare-parts stock is built into each 0 to 100 score, so a device's supportability is judged where it actually sits.
  • 02For hardware kept past OEM support on third-party maintenance, read each score with its confidence indicator and the model-family average beside it. A 66 means something different when peers average 92.

AI Helps Find PHP Flaws as 4,700 UAE Servers Flagged

AI researchers at Wiz, Calif, and OpenAI uncovered two critical PHP vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, rated 9.2/10) that enable unauthorized command execution; Censys data shows 4,691 UAE servers potentially exposed, with 50,000+ attack attempts tracked from 600+ addresses in 70 countries. Business owners must upgrade their server's PHP installation directly through their hosting provider, not just update WordPress.

  • 01Two critical PHP vulnerabilities (9.2/10 severity) discovered by AI tools enable unauthenticated remote code execution; WordPress updates do not fix them, requiring direct PHP server upgrades through hosting providers.
  • 024,691 internet-facing UAE servers (79.5% of identifiable hosts) flagged as potentially exposed; over 50,000 attack attempts from 600+ addresses across 70 countries recorded by 27 October.
  • 03Fixed PHP versions are 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35; sites running PHP 8.1 or older must upgrade or obtain vendor patches, with confirmation required from hosting provider since version numbers may not update.
