- In 2018, disruptiveadvertising.com reported that 3.03 billion people are using some sort of social media. The most popular apps provide something for everyone, but very few actively connect video makers with their audience. NQ is an app designed to connect video makers with knowledgeable critics within their niche. Users will no longer need to worry about using the unhelpful thumbs up, thumbs down rating system to determine what viewers think of their work. All viewers comments are monitored by NQ to ensure high quality feedback. Every feature offered in the app will help artists create their best content every time.

- Ten billion IoT devices will be added to consumer home networks by 2020 (Leuth, 2018), with little regard for security. Users are unaware of what it takes to secure their networks and there are currently no security standards in place to hold manufacturers accountable. HomeKOP raises awareness of security issues amongst users and equips them with the right tools to secure their smart home networks. We conducted a vulnerability assessment of smart home networks, gauged consumer awareness using surveys, and created a set of standards for IoT devices. Based on the set of standards, we developed a risk score calculation system that helps users visualize risk. We then built onto the Mozilla Web of Things Gateway that employs a user-friendly dashboard to monitor these devices as they are added to a network, creates a risk score based on how well these devices meet the HomeKOP standards and walks users through securing their networks. HomeKOP is revolutionizing the world of security by putting the user back in control.

- Description/Abstract:
- Phishing Emails are a problem as ubiquitous as email itself. According to Digital Guardian, over 90% of all cyber attacks now start with a phishing message (Guest, 2017). Additionally, with over 12% of targets clicking on any given phishing message (Verizon, 13), and 95% of all attacks on enterprise networks begin as a result of spear phishing, it is critical to not only know who clicks on these links, but also when a link was clicked. While there are many tools trying to prevent the message from ever getting in, only Hypersafe will enable instant visibility and scoping when a message inevitably gets through. This is accomplished by intercepting all inbound messages to a target’s email system, and then scanning messages for spam and malicious content, and then replacing every link contained within the message with a custom link that points to the Hypersafe Link Resolution Service. When a user clicks on a link, they first go through the Link Resolution Service to ensure that the link has not been identified as a phishing or otherwise malicious message. If the link is clean, then the user is seamlessly redirected to their intended target. If the link is malicious, the user is redirected to an education and awareness page, thus hindering the attack. In order to ensure reliable service, Hypersafe is built atop the proven Amazon Web Services Platform to enable best in class availability, scalability, and security. The email processing and link resolution services are serverless, enabling Hypersafe to scale without any administrative burden and also cost very little to operate. Finally, there is a web administration portal that administrators can use to interact with the service to manually flag links, senders, and domains as malicious as well as view statistics on who has clicked on a certain link. By taking the uncertainty of email away from the user, Hypersafe will be an invaluable partner in each customer’s defense toolkit.

- Description/Abstract:
- "Today, a public cloud is a top priority for many enterprises. Statistics show cloud infrastructure usage has grown from 29 percent in 2017 to 38 percent in 2018." With a wide variety of options, finding the right cloud solution can be inefficient and costly for companies. This is where Omni-Cloud Solutions helps during their digital transformation journey. Our organization aims to make finding the right solution simple with an easy to use web application-based wizard, which will help organizations choose between IaaS, SaaS, XaaS, PaaS, and different storage options from a variety of cloud service providers. The service we provide will allow the organization to provide specific details about them and receive a tailored cloud solution plan based around important metrics such as cost, storage, and availability. Reducing the amount of research previously devoted to migrating their organization to the cloud solution will save time and money allowing them to focus on their own projects.

- Description/Abstract:
- Passwords are not safe, and create vulnerabilities, yet, we rely heavily on them in nearly everything we do. A good password will exceed 10 characters, use a combination of numbers, upper case, lower case, and special characters. Good practice tells us not to reuse passwords. This is a lot to remember when accessing various tools and accounts in our work and private lives. Can a large company trust that a person is not using the same password when accessing company assets as they are at home? This issue is solved by using a MAGIK STICK as a multifactor authentication device that eliminates the need for employees to remember passwords for a company network. MAGIK STICK solves this conundrum by authenticating users via biometrics and generating a token for accessing applications and devices. This token is based on a TOTP (time based one-time password) algorithm.

- Description/Abstract:
- Gartner reports that there will be around 20.8 billion [IoT devices] by 2020. Among these devices are countless vulnerabilities and security concerns. As of now, there is no single device that remediates those vulnerabilities or even detects them. The Mirai botnet incident took countless websites offline and affected millions of people. What if there was a device that could have detected this sort of activity? Our product would have thwarted an attack of this type via network monitoring of each IoT device on a user’s home network. Our product would function as a plug and play device and would be able to detect abnormal IoT network activity. The objective is to ensure the devices are only operating based on necessity. This gives the owners peace of mind that their IoT devices are functioning normally. The number of IoT devices is going to surpass the number of mobile phones and computers in the coming years. This will require the need for additional security measures similar to that of antivirus. Our product is a step in the right direction for securing these devices

- Description/Abstract:
- In 2015, the sale of tabletop games by small publishers topped $1 billion in the United States and Canada for the first time.1 In 2017, this total skyrocketed above $1.5 billion.2 In an age where digital screens are often uncomfortably pervasive, people have a growing desire for human contact away from technology. The explosive popularity of tabletop gaming showcases this very clearly. Currently, an average of over 10 tabletop games are being published each day, a staggering number.3 Due to the ever-growing number of choices, it can be very difficult to select a game that everyone will enjoy playing. To address this issue, the GameNight mobile application helps the members of a group select a range of games from their collection by breaking games down into their mechanical components, and then searching for a common interest for the group by looking for a commonly occurring mechanic. The application then suggests games that utilize this mechanic, providing an experience that everyone at the table will enjoy. The application can be used in multiple ways: for example, a user can designate games they already own as being in their collection, or they can designate games they are considering purchasing, using it as a purchasing aid. GameNight saves time and energy that can be better spent getting straight to gaming!
