Drone technology is becoming more popular than ever, so 'SkySafe' is a new way for individuals and brands to protect their airspace from rogue drones.

'SkySafe' works by monitoring a set area for drones and, if one is detected, will alert administrators who can take evasive action. This includes taking control of the drone or disabling it to keep airspace private from wandering rogue drones.

The 'SkySafe' system is the work of [MIT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grok-cli) graduate Grant Jordan and other co-founders who raised $3-million in funding to bring the technology to life.

Concerns over privacy in the wake of [drone technology becoming more popular](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-pro) has many individuals and brands seeking out ways to keep their property protected. 'SkySafe' works to effectively take passive or direct control of airspace to keep wandering drones from infiltrating restricted areas.
