The final products in Pitch Finland Cyber Security
Candour Face ID offers instant, fraud-proof identity verification that enhances security, prevents fraud, and builds trust in customers’ businesses.
Cyberday AI: Cyberday handles compliance tracking and reporting for customers, auditors, management, and authorities regarding information security standards (e.g., ISO 27001), EU directives (NIS2), and national laws. The solution supports multiple languages and compliance requirements, using AI to scale content for new markets.
DataDust™ provides a ’dusted’ page where prices and product information are hidden and protected, replicating a ’font’ that AI can’t read to prevent scraping and fraud.
SelfHack is developing a cutting-edge platform that automates penetration testing tasks, provides comprehensive reporting, and supports continuous education, all integrated into a user-friendly dashboard.
Siren Anti-Cheat provides game companies and esports organizations with a robust software solution to detect and prevent cheating. Using advanced algorithms, it ensures fair play by blocking hard-to-detect cheat software, including for metaverse, VR, and blockchain games. It supports both main and third-party integrations for broad usability.
