ShieldTouch

Elevator Pitch: In a world increasingly dominated by touchscreen devices, ShieldTouch offers the first-of-its-kind defense against invisible threats that aim to compromise your personal data through electromagnetic attacks. With ShieldTouch, your device’s weakest security link is now its strongest shield.

Concept

Advanced touchscreen protection against IEMI attacks

Objective

To provide robust security enhancements for touchscreen devices to safeguard against intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) attacks.

Solution

Develop a hardware add-on or integrated system that blocks or mitigates the effects of IEMI attacks on touchscreen devices, ensuring users’ data and device integrity are maintained.

Revenue Model

Sales of hardware protection units, subscription services for ongoing protection and updates, and licensing of technology to device manufacturers.

Target Market

Smartphone and tablet consumers, electronic device manufacturers, enterprise clients with sensitive data on touchscreen devices, and government agencies concerned with cybersecurity.

Expansion Plan

Begin with direct-to-consumer sales of add-on hardware, then partner with device manufacturers to integrate the technology into new devices, and finally expand to larger enterprise and government contracts.

Potential Challenges

Developing a product that is compatible with a wide range of devices, consumer adoption and education on IEMI risks, and staying ahead of evolving attack methods.

Customer Problem

The risk of sensitive data being compromised through unseen electromagnetic attacks on touchscreens, which most people are not protected against.

Regulatory and Ethical Issues

Compliance with telecommunications standards, ensuring no interference with legitimate device function or communications, and maintaining user privacy.

Disruptiveness

Introducing a novel layer of security for devices that have not previously acknowledged or addressed this specific vulnerability could radically change the cybersecurity landscape for personal electronics.
