Malloc Pre-Seed: Preventing Unattended Data Leakage

Funded under the RESTART 2016–2020 Pre-Seed Programme, this initiative marked the origin of Malloc’s privacy technology. We developed and tested our first prototype for real-time mobile spyware defense and created the foundation for the commercial Malloc Privacy & Security App.

This project enabled us to establish our initial cybersecurity models, achieve early user adoption, and solidify our expertise in behavior-based threat detection.

DAEMON-AI: Detection and Active Elimination of Malicious Anomalies through Ongoing Network Analysis with AI

DAEMON-AI brings autonomous, on-device threat detection to phones, wearables, and IoT gateways. It learns normal behaviour, flags anomalies, and mitigates data exfiltration or malicious activity — without relying on the cloud.

Built on our expertise in secure networking, real-time traffic control, and privacy-preserving analytics, DAEMON-AI delivers low-latency protection that scales from the edge to critical environments.

Key capabilities

• On-device anomaly detection for network, sensor, and app behaviour
• Privacy-preserving analytics — minimal or no raw data leaves the device
• Works with encrypted traffic via metadata and behavioural signals
• Real-time response: block, throttle, or alert on suspicious flows
• Lightweight models optimised for battery and memory constraints
• Edge-to-fleet visibility with optional aggregated telemetry

Where it fits

• Defence & public safety devices
• Critical infrastructure & smart city sensors
• Industrial & enterprise IoT fleets
• Mobile endpoints across BYOD and high-risk teams

On-device Low-latency Privacy-preserving Cloud-optional
