A Santa Monica tech company focused on security and birthed at USC has now locked up the school as a customer.

Armorway Inc., a security analytics firm co-founded by Zaré Baghdasarian, Manish Jain and James Pita in 2013, has developed a software program that uses game theory to analyze real-time data in an effort to enhance security efforts.

“When you play any game, each of you wants to win,” said Jain, Armorway’s chief technology officer. “But the outcome depends on what both of you do. We model security on these games.”
