R&D Lab
The Cedars International Innovation Lab — where emerging technologies are explored, tested and turned into working systems.
Where emerging technologies become practical solutions
The Cedars International Innovation Lab is where emerging technologies are explored, tested and turned into working systems. The Lab advances capabilities in artificial intelligence, IoT and advanced analytics — and CCDS is what came out of it.
The team is cybersecurity-first: practitioners rather than theorists, with 145+ years of combined experience across the United States and Europe. That work runs from penetration testing and red-team exercises through to governance, audits and national-level policy. We take part in industry events and maintain professional certifications relevant to the domains we work in.
Research areas
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
AI-driven threat detection, process automation and decision-support systems.
Blockchain & Distributed Systems
Decentralised architectures for security and transparency in enterprise operations.
IoT Security
Security frameworks for the rapidly expanding Internet of Things ecosystem.
Quantum-Ready Cryptography
Preparing organisations for the post-quantum era with next-generation encryption.
The flagship: CCDS
The Cedars Cyber Defense Shield is the Lab’s flagship platform — an AI-orchestrated, behaviour-driven architecture that continuously learns an organisation’s baseline and detects anomalies in real time, built for adaptive and persistent attacks that increasingly use AI themselves.

Beyond security
The Lab’s work is not limited to cyber defence. Other projects include Greenly (computer vision for crop health monitoring), SmartCityInfra (urban utilities, traffic and environmental sensing), CedarsSOC (managed security operations) and CedarsAppSec (secure SDLC, code review and API security testing).
