For a full data privacy on the go.

Project description

Protecting data under unsecured Wi-Fi connections

What happens when a company’s executive connects to an unsecured Wi-Fi when travelling or if a staff member’s laptop is stolen while on a business trip? In both cases, personal data security has been compromised. The security concerns are the same for a growing population of digital nomads – professionals who work remotely. Even though they are free from office desks, they are more exposed to digital threats. The EU-funded LPS is developing next generation nomadic cybersecurity. The aim is to disrupt how data privacy is protected out of the office, by miniaturising an entire security stack into a portable hardware format that embeds advanced blockchain, artificial intelligence and several other protection techniques. This approach will comprise an unprecedented technological advancement.

Objective

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.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

SME-1 - SME instrument phase 1
