GUARDTOWER SECURES THE INFRASTRUCTURE POWERING THE SMART CITY ECONOMY
As AI Accelerates Unknown Threat Discovery and Private 5G Expands Nationwide, GuardTower Delivers Proactive Cybersecurity for the Edge Infrastructure Era
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — [June 10 , 2026] — GuardTower, the proactive cybersecurity platform developed by Tradewinds Networks, today announced continued expansion across Private 5G, Edge AI, smart city, and critical infrastructure deployments as organizations confront a new generation of AI-driven cyber threats.
Recent developments surrounding Anthropic's Mythos model and Project Glasswing have intensified industry concerns regarding machine-speed vulnerability discovery, autonomous exploit development, and the growing ability of artificial intelligence to identify unknown attack paths faster than traditional security architectures can respond.
At the same time, organizations are rapidly deploying distributed infrastructure—including Private 5G networks, edge computing environments, smart city platforms, healthcare systems, and critical communications networks—dramatically increasing the attack surface available to adversaries.
GuardTower was built for exactly this environment.
Long before AI-generated cyber operations became a boardroom discussion, GuardTower was engineered around a simple premise:
The greatest threat is not the attack you know. It is the one you have not discovered yet.
While much of the cybersecurity industry remains focused on signatures, alerts, and known attack vectors, GuardTower was designed to identify unknown threats, expose adversarial behavior, and force engagement before operational impact occurs.
"Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing cyber warfare," said Keith Alexis, Chief Technology Officer of Tradewinds Networks, parent company of GuardTower. "The challenge is no longer defending against known threats. The challenge is defending against threats that have not yet been identified. GuardTower was built from inception to expose the unknown, eliminate dwell time, and secure distributed infrastructure before adversaries can establish persistence."
GuardTower accomplishes this through three core pillars:
Deception
AI Decoys create controlled engagement environments that expose adversaries before production systems are reached.
Detection
AI StrongPoint™ identifies behavioral anomalies, emerging attack paths, and previously unknown threats across distributed environments.
Deterrence
AI StrikeForce™ delivers sub-second detection and escalation, eliminating dwell time and preventing lateral movement.
Together, these capabilities provide:
Zero False Positives
Zero Dwell Time
Zero Complexity
Visibility into known and unknown threats
Protection against zero-day and AI-generated attack paths
Security for Private 5G, Edge AI, and distributed infrastructure
The need for this architecture is becoming increasingly clear as communities, enterprises, and governments invest in next-generation connectivity.
Recently highlighted by Intel,Tradewinds Networks' Bellflower Connect initiative demonstrates how Private 5G, edge computing, and intelligent infrastructure can help bridge the digital divide while delivering affordable, scalable connectivity to underserved communities.
John Santoyo, CEO of Tradewinds added, “Connectivity without security creates exposure. Secure connectivity creates opportunity. Not only do we provide our clients a safe, secure environment free from threat, but we also provide, via our platforms like Bellflower Connect and B-More Mobile, AI-enabled tools to help residents, businesses, and stakeholders thrive.”
The deployment combines edge computing, AI-enabled infrastructure, advanced communications, and cybersecurity to create a new model for digital inclusion.
As these deployments expand, cybersecurity becomes more than a compliance requirement—it becomes a foundational component of infrastructure itself.
As AI accelerates the discovery of unknown vulnerabilities and distributed infrastructure becomes the foundation of the digital economy, organizations require cybersecurity architectures capable of operating at the speed of modern threats.
GuardTower was purpose-built for that future.
