Phone Safe Summit Speech Protection

Smartphones have endless benefits for communication in both personal and business; however, they also create certain information leakage threats.  One of the potential leakage channels is the phone's microphone being able to pick up surrounding acoustic sound with high sensitivity.  While developing this product, the following features and vulnerabilities of modern smartphones were taken into account:

• The phone can be intentionally, or covertly, 'off-hook' during meaningful negotiations.
• Voice recording software can intentionally, or secretly, run on the smartphone.
• Listening software can run in a 'stealth' mode.
• Spyware can be installed on a smartphone without the owner's knowledge, allowing attackers to activate real-time eavesdropping.
• There are known cases of transmission of such software by exploiting the vulnerabilities of some messengers.
• The acoustic environment around the phone can be transmitted to a server, or cloud service of the attackers choice either in real-time or with postponed uploading.
• Smartphone apps that have access to the phone's microphone can be used for eavesdropping and recording.
• Uploading of information can be done in the following ways: conventional voice call, mobile internet, WiFi, Bluetooth, the phone's connector.

With the above in mind, the Phone Safe Summit can be placed on a table or desk and then your colleague's smartphones are placed inside.  The unit will flush the microphone/s of any smartphone with continuous acoustic noise, rendering audio recordings useless.  The phone Safe Summit is a unique product that provides you with peace of mind when discussing sensitive work projects or financial information etc.

The creation of radio interference (RF jamming of mobile communications, WiFi and Bluetooth is illegal and does not guarantee protection, as there is still the possibility of accumulating information in the phone's memory (voice recorder mode).  Given this factor, the only reliable way to protect is to block the acoustic channel of the smartphone.  This prevents acoustic information from leaking, regardless of how it is listened to or transmitted.  Several modern technologies have been integrated into the Phone Safe Summit for your protection.

The Phone Safe Summit can be used standalone or as part of a wider speech-protection system and is ideal for the Privacy-focused user to negate espionage threats by protecting yourself against accidental or intentional confidential information leakage.
