The Internet, while the greatest positive opportunity for all nations, has also opened up significant National Security concerns. Governments have responded to this terrorist threat through many Homeland Security initiatives that involve participation from numerous technology vendors. This ongoing battle is centered on digital attacks on government systems, resources and information as well as targeted efforts at key infrastructure elements such as energy and transportation. Recent headlines have included everything from denial of service, hijacking of critical systems and theft of information – all in an effort to undermine, embarrass, and possibly weaken a nation’s well-being.
While attacks can be executed in one or more ways – what has caught the attention of IT Security and Defence professionals is the integrated nature of the assaults. This is the reason that organizations have made significant investments in IT security measures aimed at defending against external and some internal threats. However, the current struggle is now migrating down to the content level. Similar to the issues related to insider threat and digital espionage, once the evil-doers have a resource (digital code or human user) in place that can communicate critical information outside the organization or transmit and execute controls within, attacks and damage can occur.
Today’s requirements now focus on concerns over data leakage, insider threats and out-right digital espionage. IT Security and defence professionals are actively looking for ways to better monitor, assess, alert and respond to threats. More specifically, they are now looking for ways to better understand what is being communicated within their environments. Essentially, in order to protect its content and critical information, an organization must always have visibility into what is happening with its content.
The world’s first real time, on-line, Intelligent Content Store, used by Government Agencies, Police Departments and Commercial Corporations, to identify, capture, index and replay all electronic communications content in real time for Law Enforcement, Security and Audit purpose
Chronicle provides Security and Investigative Professionals a powerful, easy-to-use and easy-to-learn content intelligence solution that provides immediate benefits. Chronicle’s solution will increase the efficiency of monitoring efforts by allowing more technical and non-technical Security and Investigative professionals to be trained to utilize the tool – thereby enabling better visibility in regards to content security and policy compliance.
What is key is that the data and related content communications are collected and replayed from online “data-in-motion.” As a result, real time alerting is achieved and credible content reproduction is provided allowing security personnel to replay exactly what, when, and how content was seen and handled by a user – thereby demonstrating both proof of the user's content and related actions. Furthermore, Chronicle's Forensic Information Fingerprinting Engine (FIFE™) technology provides evidence of user activity that is both forensically accurate and credible.
In addition, Chronicle helps improve productivity and reduce the investigative effort by reducing the time and complexity of data capture and analysis. Essentially, with Chronicle, security professionals now have the means to find the proverbial "needle in a haystack" in hours versus weeks or even months. This is achieved through the use of Chronicle’s intelligent deep-packet inspection and content capture that effectively cuts out the recording of duplicate data and network content "noise", thereby shortening the analysis effort.
