Shieldbox

What It Is

Shieldbox is designed as a hardware-in-the-middle control layer between untrusted external USB devices and trusted user workstations. Instead of plugging unknown storage directly into a laptop or desktop, files are first processed through a dedicated, isolated unit.

The objective is straightforward: reduce infection risk from malicious USB-borne payloads while keeping file transfer workflows operational for public administration, enterprise, and high-volume file handling environments.

How Shieldbox Works

1. Connect Shieldbox to the workstation (USB, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet-supported modes in product docs).
2. Open the local interface from browser or desktop pathway.
3. Plug one or more untrusted USB devices into Shieldbox.
4. Select files to analyse and transfer into the secure unit.
5. Integrated malware scanning validates selected files before release.
6. Safe files are downloaded or copied onward; infected files are blocked.
7. Infection events produce report output for user review and handling.
