Market Need
Modern healthcare systems face escalating data security threats from ransomware, supply chain breaches, and quantum‐based attacks. These challenges can erode patient trust, disrupt clinical operations, and drive costs upwards. Many existing solutions rely on outdated, resource‐intensive encryption methods that struggle to keep pace with current and emerging adversarial techniques, particularly the rise of quantum computing.
Solution
TeleHealth-CyberShield integrates post-quantum cryptography (PQC) with traditional encryption algorithms. It establishes safe tunnels for data transmission using ephemeral session keys derived from PQC key exchanges. This shields sensitive patient data from unauthorised interception. For data at rest, the solution provides full-disc or volume encryption, automatically managed via centralised key repositories to simplify rotation and auditing, and alert security teams to anomalies. The architecture allows for rapid adoption of new cryptographic standards as cyber threats and vulnerabilities evolve.
Target Market
- Healthcare providers and medical device manufacturers.
Status
- Implemented protection for data at rest.
- Completed a minimal proof of concept for data in transit.
Needs
- Investment to transition from proof of concept to minimum viable product.
