Kaprica Security commercializes Skorpion, a secure smartphone charger designed for Android users. Skorpion replaces the stock charger and scans the device's operating system and applications while simultaneously charging, allowing the external USB-attached hardware to examine the entire device for malware and rootkits. When malicious behavior is identified the charger illuminates a red LED alert, communicates the result to the user and, if applicable, IT managers, and offers remediation options. The charger is in late-stage development via a partnership with Belkin, which is leveraging its global distribution channels to sell the product into government, enterprise and foreign markets. Kaprica was co-founded by Doug Britton (CEO), Andrew Wesie (CTO) and Hudson Thrift (COO). The company received $100K in funding and intends to use the capital to accelerate product deployment.
