Summit Carbon Solutions
World’s leading planet-protecting technology secured by Trend Micro's platform
OVERVIEW
Summit Carbon Solutions was founded in 2020 with the goal of decarbonising the biofuel and agriculture industries via carbon capture and sequestration. In developing the largest carbon capture and storage project in the world, the company seeks to lower greenhouse gas emissions. This is achieved by connecting industrial facilities via strategic infrastructure. Over 15 million tons of carbon is collected each year and is stored safely and permanently in the Midwestern United States. To adapt quickly, CIO and CTO Jason Cradit is focused on working with strategic partners like Trend.

CHALLENGES
Summit Carbon Solutions’ rapidly expanding employee base is both distributed and mobile, making endpoint security an ongoing challenge. Security for burgeoning IoT operations is crucial, as is compliance with government security mandates. As a startup that has successfully raised funding, Summit Carbon Solutions must continuously demonstrate that its security infrastructure is capable of fully protecting assets and data.
For the AWS workloads, Trend helps us to protect our data to make sure we can certify where we keep our carbon.
