NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

PlugMate, a thumb-sized secure computing device, integrates hardware-level isolation, seamless cross-platform compatibility, and enterprise-grade privacy protection. As the physical carrier of PlugOS, it creates an isolated, trace-free secure workspace and is compatible with over 80% of mainstream USB-C devices.

Powered by an Octa-Core MediaTek Helio G70 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of encrypted storage, PlugMate runs the dedicated PlugOS in complete isolation from the host device. This design ensures no data remains on the host after unplugging, setting a new benchmark for personal physical isolation security . With its USB-C interface, it offers plug-and-play functionality across multiple systems without complex setup. Weighing approximately 14.3 grams and featuring a thumb-sized design, it is highly portable and supports the Android app ecosystem, effectively addressing the traditional trade-off between security and user experience .
Built on a zero-trust architecture, it implements a multi-layered security system adhering to principles of zero tracking and zero data collection. All user data is encrypted and stored locally, accessible only via a unique key. The device includes a granular firewall, peripheral control, and a duress self-destruct mechanism. It complies with multiple international certifications, and its low-power design does not impact the host device’s battery life .

PlugMate serves as a full-scenario personal digital security space, effectively separating work and personal data. It makes enterprise-grade hardware-isolated security accessible to the general public, pioneering a new era of personal, portable cybersecurity
