OVERVIEW

Description

Cyber Security Dongle is the world’s first device to solve problems troubling people the world over, from pharming site access to webcam hacking and similar attacks, at the source on the network level. The product applies patented technology that blocks cyber attacks on the wired/wireless network level, something existing security software does not perform. Users simply need to connect the dongle to the computer and are freed from the various threats in the cyber environment without needing to run a separate anti-virus program.

Further, through the fingerprint single sign on function, users can easily access online bank accounts, e-government services, online university lecture courses and other websites requiring personal information.

Execution

Next to its attractive external design and robustness, Cyber Security Dongle is also easy to use. Simply connect the dongle to the PC and it automatically blocks cyber attacks at the network level. Users do not need to install any programs and simply need to ‘plug-in’ the device. Once the dongle is connected to the computer, An icon appears recognizing that Cyber Security Dongle is connected. Users click ‘OK’ and can select the network through the dongle’s configuration program. Next, network access is established through Cyber Security Dongle instead of the computer’s wireless LAN card. Once connected, users can register their fingerprints at a website managing ‘Accredited Certificates’ (Electronic certificates that are replacing the ‘Resident Registration Number’ as a personal identification number in South Korea). Users can then use the device’s single sign-on function with the fingerprint scanner.

At the front of the Cyber Security Dongle, there is space to integrate an RFID card, thus ensuring scalability/versatility by allowing the device to also serve as an employee ID card.

The body of the device contains 3 LED status indicators. From left, these indicate the network risk level, network connection status and fingerprint recognition. Operation status is indicated in 5 colors.

Outcome

Cyber Security Dongle not only applies network operation security patents that cannot be imitated by any ICT business in the world, but also/and represents our commitment to social responsibility. The scale of security facilities needed by companies to thoroughly supervise and maintain information is enormous (in terms of land, construction costs, servers, facilities, etc.). Such equipment is therefore mostly found at large corporations. Individuals or small businesses try to respond to security problems with anti-virus software and similar measures, but the scale and method of these responses fall short of the threat.

Cyber Security Dongle is designed to offer the protection of previous big and heavy network security equipment in a tiny package that can be held in hand. Reasonably priced at around 73 USD, it is an affordable purchase that offers security to businesses and public institutions at dramatically reduced investment costs compared to installing security facilities.
