Malloc Testimonial

At Malloc, we are an AI-driven cybersecurity company with a privacy-first approach, focused on delivering real-time threat detection and prevention directly at the device level. In the maritime sector—where legacy systems, complex communication infrastructures, and regulatory demands are common—we offer a solution that protects devices, secures communications, and strengthens operational resilience, all without the need for invasive infrastructure changes or reliance on the cloud. Our core solution pairs Malloc VPN with on-device AI-powered threat detection, delivering full-spectrum protection for smartphones, tablets, and smart devices used onboard vessels and within port environments. By encrypting network traffic and leveraging embedded machine learning, our technology detects threats such as phishing, spyware, unsecured or suspicious connections—even in offline or low-connectivity conditions.

In an industry that depends on centralized digital platforms to coordinate logistics and operations, security concerns are mounting. Conversations with maritime professionals have confirmed growing anxiety around phishing, ransomware, DDoS

 attacks, and spyware targeting both port systems and crew devices. Human vulnerabilities, often exploited through social engineering, further compound the risk—especially in environments where changing core platforms isn't a simple task. That’s where we come in. By securing the endpoints most at risk, we offer protection that doesn’t disrupt existing systems. Our target customers include vessel operators, logistics providers, and port authorities—stakeholders who need reliable, non-intrusive security. We help them remain resilient, even in high-risk, low-connectivity settings. What makes Malloc unique is our combination of secure VPN technology and machine learning algorithms that run entirely on-device. Unlike traditional cybersecurity solutions, we don’t rely on constant connectivity or centralized data collection. This enables:

• Instant threat detection—even offline. 
• Seamless integration with existing systems and workflows.
• Support for legacy hardware.
• Built-in privacy—no sensitive data leaves the device. 

Malloc is already deployed globally across mobile platforms, actively protecting thousands of users in other high-risk sectors. For maritime, we’re now launching focused pilots—starting with high-risk personnel and gradually expanding to network-level solutions. Early feedback emphasizes the need for tools that are easy to deploy, require little technical expertise, and work quietly in the background. Looking ahead, our priority is to scale these pilots, provide multilingual training support, and build lightweight integrations with maritime IT systems. Our vision is to deliver a modular, device-level cybersecurity layer that adapts to the real-world constraints of the maritime industry—closing critical security gaps without adding complexity.
