It turns out that the ear canal is a far better place to be harvesting biometrical information, listening to music and gathering fitness data.  That is just the beginning of what will be a wild ride in the next decade and we are all invited to “stick it in your ear!” ;-D

TrustPipe Offers New Security Solution for $5/Year

TrustPipe Offers New Security Solution for $5/Year

January 2, 2015 | Comments Off on TrustPipe Offers New Security Solution for $5/Year

There are four key metrics for evaluating computer security solutions; TrustPipe provides greater than 10X improvements across all four:

  1. ACCURACY — In years of testing and real-world usage, there have been zero false positives (acceptable traffic blocked) and zero false negatives: no device protected by TrustPipe has eversuffered a remote root compromise. (but…)
    We’ve caught every “zero-day” event (a “new” attack vector) since we began testing – even ones no other technology detected. (but…)
    We are unaware of any other technology that can support these claims.
  2. EFFICIENCY — TrustPipe’s footprint is actually more than two orders of magnitude smaller than traditional solutions. And its impact on overall system performance is nearly undetectable.

  4. COST — TrustPipe’s technology allows us to operate far more efficiently as a business. We do not require the teams of people most security technologies need to stay current. And by keeping the team small and focused, we didn’t have to raise the large amounts of capital most security companies require
