Descripción del proyecto
Proteger los datos en conexiones wifi no seguras
¿Qué sucede cuando un directivo de una empresa se conecta a una wifi no segura cuando viaja? Y ¿si le roban el portátil a un miembro del personal durante un viaje de negocios? En ambos casos, la seguridad de los datos personales se ve comprometida. Los problemas de seguridad son los mismos para una población en crecimiento de nómadas digitales, es decir, profesionales que trabajan a distancia. Aunque no tienen mesas de oficina, están más expuestos a las amenazas digitales. El proyecto LPS, financiado con fondos europeos, está desarrollando la próxima generación de ciberseguridad nómada. Su objetivo es cambiar la forma en que se protege la privacidad de los datos fuera de la oficina, mediante la miniaturización de todo un «stack» de seguridad en un formato de «hardware» portátil que incorpore tecnología de cadena de bloques avanzada, inteligencia artificial y otras técnicas de protección. Este método constituirá un avance tecnológico sin precedentes.
Objetivo
AllPriv is developing next generation nomadic cybersecurity set to entirely disrupt the way data privacy is protected out of the office. Recipient of a CES innovation award, early stages of its technology have already drawn the attention of large enterprises (banks, energy giants…).
The growth of telework and the need for productivity during business travel entails exposures such as connection to unsecured WiFi, device loss, and compromised data exchange. Each of these factors pose major security threats to enterprises.
Current lead vendors offer partial solutions only, mostly via software embedded in laptops, a far-cry from the level of sophistication offered within the walls of the enterprise.
Allpriv has decided to tackle this unresolved problem by formulating a disruptive plan: shield user laptops upstream of them instead embedded in them, miniaturize an entire security stack into a portable hardware format that embeds advanced Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and several more protection techniques. This approach requires overcoming major technology hurdles that no vendor or even research lab has succeeded in doing so far.
After implementing just our first feature (WiFi), Europe’s 3rd largest bank found it compelling enough to request paid testing.
Allpriv plans to develop now the most groundbreaking part of its technology by turning the inventions listed above into a concrete design, and jointly testing them with early adopters such as the aforementioned bank.
These objectives are tough but attainable: the company filed 6 patents, and has hired a team of expert PhDs. The company CEO, a repeat entrepreneur, has already grown an IT venture to the 3rd largest of its kind in Europe. Both the team capability and early results demonstrate our ability to reach our objectives.
Allpriv seeks an SMEi1 grant to accelerate R&D. It has a unique opening to respond to a burning demand by overcoming major technology challenges and hence contribute to employment in EU.
