About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Simple, Smart, Secure How did you come up with the idea for this product? The number of internet connected devices in users’ home is on the rise. The only protection users have from online threats is their PC antivirus which protects nothing but PCs and the WiFi router which provides a firewall based on technology from the early 90's and is highly vulnerable to attacks itself. These solutions are completely ineffective against modern day threats targeting IoT devices. Having worked in commercial and government cyber-security space for decades, we wanted to bring some of the key advances in enterprise security to the home consumer without the complexity of management and configuration. This is why we built RATtrap. What makes your product special? RATtrap differentiates itself from other consumer security solutions with the following features: * Sits between your broadband modem and router - protects your home router from attacks. * Small form factor - fits in a closet along with your modem and router. * True Plug and Play - does not require ANY device reconfiguration. * Secures all connected devices - complete consumer IoT device protection. * Draws from a global threat sensor network - learns about attacks as they occur. * Continuous improvement - automatic software and threat intelligence data updates. * Ad-blocking for all devices - prevents malvertisements and speeds up web browsing. * Web browsing protection - hides the domains you visit from your ISP. * Respects users' privacy - does not send your internet traffic metadata to the cloud. * Brings enterprise level security to your home - without the configuration and management hassles. * Built by a team who has multiple decades of experience in cyber-security in the US defense industry. What has been the best part of your startup experience? Seeing an idea turn into a product is very gratifying. Knowing that we have built something that keeps users safe as more and more of their life goes digital is exhilarating. Learning from our users who love the design, the simplicity and the efficacy of our product is what drives us to try harder every day.
