Prometheus Security Group Global (PSG) announced that Jeremy Freeze-Skret, the Vice President of Engineering, has been honoured as a Small Business Innovator at the Texas Innovation Awards.
These awards featured prominently at the Texas Innovation Conference held on April 22–23, 2026, at Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth. TCU chose Freeze-Skret for this distinction, recognising his contributions to critical infrastructure security at the esteemed event that unites innovators, startups, researchers, and leaders from the ecosystem across Texas.
Highlights of Texas innovation conference
The Texas Innovation Conference convenes influential figures to boost collaboration and drive the commercialisation of new ideas throughout the state.
The Texas Innovation Awards spotlight individuals and organisations that are pivotal in promoting innovation and economic development across the region. Recipients of these awards are selected from successful SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees, academic researchers, and leading industry figures within Texas's innovation landscape.
Advancements in critical infrastructure security
Freeze-Skret's achievement at the awards is linked to PSG's successful SBIR Phase II funding
At PSG, Freeze-Skret oversees engineering efforts that prioritise the implementation of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) within the realm of physical security. His work focuses on the application of principles relating to identity, authentication, and data integrity to various technologies, including sensors, access control hardware, and video surveillance systems.
Holding numerous patents in this sector, Freeze-Skret's achievement at the awards is linked to PSG's successful SBIR Phase II funding for its Scene Authentication technology. This patented approach advances Zero Trust techniques beyond cameras, directly into the environments they monitor. It addresses major yet often overlooked vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure security.
Scene authentication technology insights
Freeze-Skret explained: "We’ve developed a way to push protection beyond the camera lens and into the scene itself—verifying not just the device, but the physical environment it captures. By extending PSG’s Zero Trust approach across both legacy OT and video systems, we’re helping bring these critical technologies into the next generation. For operators, that’s a seismic shift, giving them confidence in the integrity of what they’re seeing and the actions they take."
Leadership Reflections
Rick Gross, PSG's CEO, commented, "Jeremy's dedication is emblematic of our unwavering commitment to national security. Extending Zero Trust to the scene itself isn't an incremental improvement, it's a fundamental advance in how we protect the infrastructure this nation depends on." Gross underlines how this approach represents a significant evolution in safeguarding essential infrastructure.
