Tamworth United Kingdom. 6th March 2018: Developed to prevent ‘relay theft’, Disklabs Keyshield is the first RF blocking product to gain the Secured by Design ‘Police Preferred Specification’ accreditation.
Stealing a car should not be easy, but as recent video footage has shown, for cars fitted with keyless entry systems this is not necessarily the case. Luckily prevention is fairly straightforward with the Disklabs Keyshield.
‘Relay Theft’ is a technique adopted by criminals of using a receiver to pick up the signal from a key (which we all typically leave near the front door) and relay this signal back to a second unit adjacent to the vehicle, tricking it into thinking the key is being held next to it. The vehicle can then be opened and driven away.
Simon Steggles, Founder of Disklabs said ‘None of us would knowingly leave our vehicle in an unsecure environment. However, for the owners of vehicles fitted with keyless entry systems a private driveway or carpark may be just such an environment. There has been a recent spate of publicity about criminals using sophisticated technology to enable a car to be stolen from almost any location using a technique called ‘relay theft’. The Disklabs Keyshield was developed as a simple and effective way to prevent this. Following development of this new product we are delighted it has now been accredited with ‘Police Preferred Specification’ by SBD.

Not many of us would leave a device unattended or unlocked in an unsecured environment, however physically carrying or using a computer, tablet or phone is no guarantee that the device is secure and not at risk from unauthorised intrusion.
Any digital device can be at risk simply by connecting to an unsecured wireless network during your daily commute or in public places and the Disklabs Faraday bag will stop this in its tracks.
The simple substitution of a conventional briefcase or protective sleeve with a faraday shield variant will block connectivity to unsecured networks and malicious tracking applications.

Tamworth United Kingdom. 6th March 2018: The primary purpose of a conventional Notebook sleeve is to protect the device from physical damage, so wouldn’t it be great if it could also protect your data at the same time. The NEW Notebook sleeve from Disklabs does just that.
Not many of us would leave our notebook or laptop unattended in an unsecured environment but in reality, many of us do just this. Physically carrying a device during the daily commute or in public spaces still leaves the risk of connectivity to unsecured wireless networks which can be exploited by hackers.
As a digital forensic specialist company, Disklabs is very aware of these risks and has spent over 20 years helping law enforcement, businesses, government agencies and individuals recover lost and corrupted data, culminating in the development of the new Notebook Shield. Simon Steggles, Disklabs founder said ‘The team at Disklabs have long been aware that prevention is better than cure, and the new Notebook Shield has been developed to block all wireless signals, frustrating the hacker’.
