Imagine following worst case scenario. We send you a copy of a sentry drone software which you install on a number of your drones. At least one of them is lost in an incident prearranged by a capable terrorist group like Lane Hackers. Stolen hardware does not have Ageira Technologies attested security safeguards responsible for erasing data and detonating micro-explosives on detection of a tampering attempt - like a typical batch of trade lane parts. As a result Ageira Technologies software is sold back on black market to every potential buyer including other dangerous terrorist groups or worse - the competition. Imagine a competition sponsored terrorist attack in which a hypothetical security vulnerability is used to infect our sentry drones in order for them to, let's say, attack innocent civilians. I cannot even assess magnitude of potential damage to both our credibility and income.
Naturally, possibility of such scenario is close to none. It is so because we do not take security issues lightly, and that includes making exceptions to our centuries long policies. It is also why you have come to us and not our competition.
