Safe Station is building a physical cybersecurity device using breach sensors licensed from Sandia National Laboratories. Recent regulations covering physical cybersecurity for federal nonclassifed contractors have created demand in that market, which is why it’s the first the company will enter. This will be followed by the federal classified market and the public sector, such as school districts.
“Our device integrates Sandia’s patented breach sensors to deliver remote-managed access, rapid response, and shutdown—all designed for NIST-compliant physical cybersecurity. TRGR made it possible to commercialize this critical infrastructure protection technology.“

In order to move this new product closer to market, Safe Station worked with Sandia Mechanical Engineer James Youchison on a TRGR Project where prototypes were successfully built and validated for design and functionality, moving the TRL from 4 to 8. Modifications were made so the device can be integrated into server racks as well as into individual computers. Three security level options were tested. This lets customers choose a level depending on their classification requirements.
Now that testing has been completed in a controlled environment, the company hired a local Department of Defense-compliant manufacturer to produce a limited run of Safe Station breach sensors. Working with cybersecurity sales partners that serve the public sector and government agencies, Safe Station will test their sensors for 90 days in live business environments at a handful of customer locations. This will be a trial run of remote access and software integration before large-scale product manufacturing commences.
As a result of the TRGR Project, Safe Station has been able to rapidly take a product idea from rough sketch to reality. They hope to have their product available for sale by the beginning of 2026.
