The last thing you want to find out on Monday morning, is that a low level IT guy just stole all of your classified mission data on a thumb drive, no bigger than your finger. Gigashield technology has the form factor of a USB hub. It secures all COTS devices that are connected. iPads, phones, thumb drives, mice or keyboards. All of these devices and be programmed and reprogrammed, and therefore they pose a significant threat to Air Force programs.

The insider threat is a huge vulnerability, and insiders, witting or unwitting leverage the USB port to perpetuate attacks. The Gigashield technology can stop those attacks. Gigashield is a game changing technology. It stops insiders. It encrypts data, and provides multi-level access and multi compartmented information. It stops attacks and enables secure use of any COTS USB device. It’s very user friendly.

The Air Force SBIR Commercialization Readiness Program was instrumental in introducing Gigavation to identify customers and in helping them understand the needs of the warfighter. This enabled them to develop the Gigashield technology for the use of Air Force.
