What is the Hack Your Innovation Contest?
Hack Your Innovation Contest is a tech competition for devs who want to take their ideas to the next level. Each participant has to present a way of using Latch to improve digital security in different products.
The digital world moves very fast, and will continue to do so. New technologies such as Artificial Intelligence or Cloud Computing are always emerging and opening up new possibilities, but their development also brings new risks related to the privacy and security of companies and users.
Latch is an authorisation control platform powered by security latches that helps protect digital services with an extra layer of security. It operates in all sectors; education, e-commerce, web3 or fintech companies, protecting businesses from digital cyber-attacks.
Where are cybersecurity solutions applied?
This is where we challenge you – are you capable of revolutionising the world of security? With Hack Your Innovation Contest we want to encourage creativity, innovation and technological development by challenging you to find possible applications of Latch in different worlds.
- Critical infrastructure and/or industrial control systems: these systems are essential to our society, but are increasingly exposed to the risks from the internet. A second authorisation factor can improve security in various industrial scenarios, both in the physical and software domains.
- IT information technologies: this scenario faces constantly evolving risks, forcing security systems to innovate.
- Web3: This world presents constant cybersecurity challenges, where a single failure can cause millions of dollars in losses. This makes it vitally important to integrate processes that put a strong focus on the security of services.
- Internet of Things: IoT is integrated into everyday life, such as smart cities, transport optimisation, efficient use of farming resources and improving the quality of life in households.
