Derry, New Hampshire Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Derry Technological Services Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for innovation in secure data handling. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11956631, titled ‘Secure storage pass-through device’, introduces a compact and tamper-resistant solution for protecting sensitive data during file transfers.
The device acts as a controlled bridge between a host computer and an external storage system. It ensures that only authenticated users can access or write data. If tampering is detected, the device halts communication and protects the stored information from unauthorized access or deletion.
This technology is built with physical and digital safeguards that make it ideal for use in defense, law enforcement, and corporate environments where data security is critical. Unlike standard USB drives or external hard disks, this pass-through system monitors, authenticates, and encrypts activity without relying solely on the host machine’s integrity.
Its portability and hardware-based control reduce vulnerability to malware and other software attacks. By isolating data paths and enforcing user verification protocols, the invention strengthens digital forensics, classified communications, and secure field operations.
With cybersecurity threats on the rise, Derry Technological Services Inc. delivers a forward-thinking solution that enhances trust in digital storage and file transfer workflows. This device helps keep sensitive information safe, even in the most high-risk environments.
