Who we are
Cybord was founded by Dr. Eyal Weiss following a crisis in a defense mega project caused by counterfeit electronic components. It took his team months to trace the problem down to a three-cent faulty capacitor.
This incident, along with a deep understanding of the widespread issue of defective and counterfeit components, led to founding of Cybord.
What we do
The Cybord Deep Visual-AI platform aggregates and analyzes images and data from 100% of electronic components before, during and after assembly. By combining existing production data with unique, real-time visual data collection, it ensures product quality, authenticity, traceability, and end-to-end hardware security for OEMs and EMSs.
Vision
A future where AI empowers manufacturers to build products with uncompromised integrity — secure, traceable, and free from counterfeits or defects.
Mission
Secure the integrity of every electronic product by harnessing advanced AI to inspect and validate every component, ensuring unmatched quality, traceability, and protection against counterfeits and cyber risks.
