Obviously mobile phones have an infinite number of benefits for communication and business; however, they also create certain threats of information leakage. One of the potential leakage channels is the phone’s microphone being able to pick up surrounding acoustics with a high sensitivity. The PHONE SAFE SUMMIT has been developed by information security professionals to protect against this exact type of threat.

While developing this product the following features and vulnerabilities of modern phones were taken into account:

  • The phone can be intentionally, or covertly, ‘off-hook’ during important 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 the smartphone without the owner’s knowledge, allowing attackers to activate covert eavesdropping around the phone. 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 the server , or cloud service of the attackers either in real time or with a postponed uploading
  • Smartphone apps which have access to the phone’s microphone can be used for eavesdropping in cases of them having been hacked (usually messengers or social network apps)
  • Uploading of information can be done in the following ways: conventional voice call, mobile internet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the phone’s connector

Unfortunately, the creation of radio interference (RF jamming of mobile communications, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) 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 phone’s acoustic channel. This prevents acoustic information from leaking, regardless of how it is listened to or transmitted. A number of modern technologies have been used in the PHONE SAFE SUMMIT device for your protection.

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

  • Blocks the microphone of the phone with the help of non-filterable ultrasonic interference
  • Efficiently prevents surround recording apps from capturing conversations and sounds
  • Suppresses both the bottom and upper microphones of the phone by creating two-side interference
  • Up to 4 phones can fit inside
  • Inaudible frequency of interference has been optimally selected for the best performance and affects all existing models of smartphones
  • Made with the design of an attractive natural wood stand
