Detroit isn’t waiting for the future. It’s building it. During an afternoon interview at the Detroit Policy Conference 2026, held at the historic Department of Hudson Building, Eccalon Founder & CEO André Gudger shared why Detroit has become a compelling destination for technology, innovation, and long-term investment. From our headquarters in the ICON Building along the Detroit River, Eccalon is advancing nearly 30 active R&D efforts across cybersecurity, advanced materials, and emerging technologies. While our work has national reach, our roots—and our people—are firmly planted in Detroit. André’s connection to the city goes back years. As President Obama’s first Director of the Office of Small Business Programs, one of his earliest assignments was to come to Detroit to understand economic conditions firsthand. That experience continues to inform how Eccalon approaches growth, workforce development, and community engagement. Looking ahead, Eccalon is building toward a future that includes nearly 800 jobs over time, with opportunities for engineers, technologists, program leaders, creatives, and others who want to be part of something meaningful. Detroit has the talent. Detroit has the momentum. We’re proud to build here—and excited for others to join us.

Is your "least privilege" access control actually providing the most risk? It's the #1 misconfiguration seen in SMBs—and a golden ticket for attackers. Overprovisioned access is a silent compliance killer. That's why for our next Cyber Circuits webinar, we'll be demystifying access control for the Defense Industrial Base. In this session, you'll learn: ✅ The practical difference between different forms of access control. ✅ How to apply Zero Trust without a massive budget. ✅ Steps to prove your access controls to a CMMC assessor.

Ransomware in 2025 operates as an industrialized ecosystem. Threat actors now collaborate via underground forums, leveraging sophisticated tools to evade detection and maximize payment potential. Key technical changes include: 🔹AI-driven reconnaissance: Attackers use AI to identify vulnerabilities in target environments faster than traditional penetration testing methods. 🔹Zero-day exploitation: Ransomware operators increasingly purchase or develop zero-day exploits to bypass conventional patch management defenses. 🔹Data exfiltration before encryption: Ensures attackers can threaten leaks if ransom isn’t paid — even if backups are restored. 🔹Supply chain compromise: Targeting trusted vendors to infiltrate multiple clients simultaneously. Join this Project Spectrum webinar to learn how organizations can respond with layered defenses. These measures are critical because once encryption starts, recovery becomes exponentially harder without preparation. #CMMC #Ransomware #Cybersecurity #DIB #DefenseContractor #NIST800171 #DoD #GovCon #ProjectSpectrum

Cybersecurity Resilience in the Manufacturing Industry Cyber resilience is crucial for manufacturing organizations within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), where the ability to keep operations running despite cyber incidents directly affects mission readiness and contractual commitments. In this setting, cyberattacks can stop production, disrupt supply chains, and expose Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), posing both operational and compliance risks. Join this Project Spectrum webinar to learn how building resilience involves more than just defending against threats; it includes identifying critical assets, protecting operational technology (OT) and IT systems, swiftly detecting incidents, and recovering without long delays. Connecting these efforts with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) enhances both security and the continuity of manufacturing activities.
