Securtle (The Security Turtle)

Securtle is a portable threat detection tool that alerts its user to their real time digital risk environment. The tool utilizes a color shifting strategized shell (Green, Yellow, Red) to give users of all ages and knowledge level a simple real time risk exposure reading of their digital environment. An appealing and portable turtle, the Securtle uses both passive and active BL/BLE and Wifi tools to rate and then convey Internet of Things (IoT) risks, active attacks, and tracking tools - all of which are currently used to steal data, modify user devices, track users, and even target physical safety of individuals; especially children, older adults, any other vulnerable population. Attachable to either a backpack or keychain ( as a future direction), the Securtle rides along with its user as an ambient risk indicator shifting from green to yellow as its digital environment increases in risk level. Additionally, when the intrusion detection tools receive an attempted unsolicited scan, connection, or attempts at modification - the turtle shifts red, alerting the user that malicious activity is in process. This mixed threat alert gives users the information they need to make simple defensive choices and basic mitigation actions to disable threats in their digital ecosystem.
