Whether the loss of data is considered data leakage where usually there is no perceived "intent to commit a crime," or data theft where information is specifically targeted, the impact can be the same. The results from the internal theft of 94 million user records from a very large ISP had approximately the same impact as the accidental loss of a laptop with tens of millions of client records – at minimum, spammers received those lists and are now blasting the email accounts of millions of individuals.
Today data leakage prevention is quickly growing as a top concern for many organizations. The challenges associated with insider threat are sending government and commercial organizations scrambling to address yet another layer of protection – specifically security focusing on the content residing within a multitude of online communications vehicles. Everything from emails, to personal webmail, blogs, instant messages and chat all provide a means to pass along information that is intended to remain within very specific boundaries.
Regrettably, a lack of visibility and intelligence of this “data-in-motion” has left organizations blind to the associated threats. In effect, how do you protect content that can be communicated many different ways? One method employed by various data leakage prevention solutions is to tag the critical data - and while this may work some of the time, it is far from perfect. Essentially, if you cannot see what is happening, you cannot properly address the threat. In order to properly protect data-in-motion, you must be able to access and monitor what is being communicated regardless of content type or online communications means.
The world 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, improved productivity will be achieved by reducing the time and complexity of data capture and analysis. Essentially, with Chronicle, security professionals now have the means to be alerted to as well as 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.
