Cignal Selected as Finalist in FTE Americas Innovate Awards

August 2025. - Cignal is proud to announce it has been selected as a finalist in the Best New Transformative Concept category for the 2025 FTE Americas Innovate Awards, the region’s largest and most respected innovation competition.

REEDSVILLE, PA, August 20, 2025 - The security screening industry faces a core challenge: threats evolve rapidly, but training and testing methods do not. The traditional model relies on physical data collection, a process that is inherently slow, costly, and creates a reactive security posture.

Cignal’s platform is transformative because it directly addresses this challenge. As a DHS SVIP portfolio company, Cignal has developed patented technology that makes security processes scalable and elastic. Instead of physically packing bags or scanning people, our platform uses prompt-to-image capabilities to generate high-fidelity, fully labeled synthetic checkpoint data—from X-ray and CT scans to millimeter wave (MMW) images—in seconds.

Cignal's CTO, Eric Fiterman, will deliver a five-minute pitch at the conference titled, "GenAI in Security Screening: Catalyzing Innovation and Improving the Traveler Experience." The presentation will showcase how our platform’s on-demand data generation and use of hyper-realistic digital twins can improve screening processes and streamline the traveler experience. We believe our platform embodies the “Best New Transformative Concept” because it does not optimize the old model; instead, it deploys a new one, moving the security screening experience from a reactive defense to a proactive posture of safety and resilience. We are honored by this recognition from Future Travel Experience and look forward to presenting alongside the other fantastic finalists in September.
