Your mobile-charging policy, enforced by hardware
The FBI advised travelers to avoid public USB charging; the FCC recommends charge-only hardware. For organizations, that advice is a policy question: how do you make safe charging the default for people who are always on the move? (FBI advisory, Apr 2023 ↗)
What's actually at stake
Espionage & data exposure
Traveling executives and field staff charge wherever power exists. A compromised port is a path to credentials, files, and connected systems — the kind of exposure that turns one phone into an organizational incident.
Compliance obligations
Data-protection regimes hold organizations responsible for reasonable safeguards. A written mobile-charging policy backed by physical controls is easier to defend than one that relies on every employee tapping the right prompt.
Incident costs
IBM puts the global average cost of a data breach at $4.45 million in 2023. Hardware that removes a whole attack surface for the price of a cable is cheap insurance.

Three ways organizations work with us
Fleet & workforce programs
Equip traveling teams with switchable cables and a one-line policy: “public charging happens in protected mode.” The status light makes compliance visible — a training point that takes ten seconds to teach.
Hospitality & venues
Hotels, lounges, and conference venues can offer guests charging that is safe by construction — a genuine amenity in a world where the FBI tells travelers to distrust public USB ports.
Licensing & integration
Cable and accessory manufacturers can license the patented switch/status technology to build differentiated secure-charging lines. Exclusive and non-exclusive structures are both open.
The market is moving toward secure-by-design accessories
The global USB cable market was valued at $12.73 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $69.86 billion by 2031 (Allied Market Research) — and regulatory attention to data protection keeps growing. Security features are how commodity cables stop being commodities.
