NETANYA, Israel, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BiomX Inc., to be renamed Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc. effective September 11, 2026 (NYSE:PHGE, HLSQ from September 11, 2026)) ("BiomX" or the "Company"), a company focused on defense, security and critical infrastructure technologies, today announced that its subsidiary, Zorronet Ltd. ("Zorronet"), has launched a no-code capability that gives users direct control over how its AI-powered command-and-control platform operates in the field. Using a visual builder, operators can connect cameras, sensors, drones, gates and other physical systems already on site into autonomous response workflows - without programming or relying on Zorronet for every operational change.

The builder is designed to allow operators a single screen for defining how systems should work together. Operators select predefined capability blocks and connect them into operational logic for a specific site, zone or mission. That logic can then be modified directly on screen as operational needs change.

The system is designed for flexibility and is not limited to a single workflow. Teams can build dozens on the same site and run them in parallel - one for a northern fence at night, one for a parking area during working hours, one for a delivery gate on weekends. Each workflow has its own logic and its own assets.

One of the platform’s advantages is the range of capabilities available as ready-to-connect blocks. These can include cameras, radar, PTZ units, drones, electric gates, PLC controllers, public-address systems, alarms, intrusion and acoustic sensors, facial recognition, OSINT inputs, free-language vision-language analysis, and audio analytics. Each block is a capability. Each connection between blocks is a new operational function. Operators are not buying a pre-written scenario. They assemble exactly what their site needs.

Once connected, the site’s IoT fleet becomes one AI-managed platform. Instead of dozens of devices living in separate systems, a single command layer sees all of them, interprets what is happening in the field, and makes real-time decisions. The system is designed to treat a person lingering near a fence for fifteen seconds differently from someone walking past, and to apply a different response to a face that has already appeared more than once that month. It can cue the right camera, activate the right asset, and learn from each event.

That decision process can run autonomously or remain human-in-the-loop. At defined points, a workflow can pause for one-click operator approval before an action is taken. Both modes are configured through the same interface, giving customers flexibility over how much authority is delegated to the system.

Persistent visibility is becoming a defining requirement of modern security. Zorronet is built around the next step: turning near-continuous visibility into intelligent action. By connecting cameras, sensors and other systems through a unified AI layer, the platform is designed to interpret what is happening, recognize meaningful changes in behavior and coordinate an appropriate response in real time.

"Our goal is to put operational logic in the hands of the people who actually run the site," said Idan Wasserman, Chief Executive Officer of Zorronet. "Zorronet already provides the intelligence and command layer that connects and coordinates systems in the field. This capability gives authorized operators direct control over how that intelligence is applied. They can define, adapt and run multiple operational workflows themselves as conditions and requirements change."

Michael Oster, Chief Executive Officer of BiomX, said: "The rationale behind the Zorronet acquisition was that the real value would come not from any single device, but from the ability to understand the full operational picture. Cameras, sensors and other physical systems each provide only part of the story. Zorronet brings those inputs together through a unified AI/ML autonomous decision layer, allowing the system to understand context, coordinate assets and determine the appropriate response. This new capability now gives customers direct control over how that intelligence is applied in the field."

Zorronet’s AI-powered command-and-control software is already used in defense, homeland security, critical infrastructure, municipalities and other operational environments in Israel. The platform can run on-premises inside hardened networks or through the cloud, according to customer requirements.
