The ShieldIO Foundational Technology Suite
arDra™
arDra is ShieldIO's artificial intelligence engine that is the brains behind the technology. arDra encodes each database, not just each organization, but each database with a distinctive signature that we call the Database DNA. Once the DNA is established, arDra then develops a new language for that database that is derivative of its DNA, which we call an AEKL language. Each of these languages contain over 16 million distinctive words. arDra the uses both the database DNA and the language that is created to deploy AES encryption to inbound data at the driver level as an ephemeral key, which is then used again, when the key needs to be used for decryption.brains
Autonomous Driver
ShieldIO's Autonomous Driver technology is the heart of Secure Shield. Acting as a ‘Driver’ between the applications/users/edge devices and the database, the Secure Autonomous Drivers are able to work directly on the database without requiring the calling message to be altered. The ShieldIO Driver manages the data sources, choosing which fields need to be serviced from which data source (Original or Secured). It passes the queries across to the relevant sources and when it has the results back, based on the callee having the required database/application permission(s) it will reconfigure the data results bringing all the sources together. The Driver then decrypts where possible or required and passes back to the callee a single result set.
After identifying the database DNA (DDNA), arDra creates an ÆKL based language specific to that one database only. Each new language arDra invents gives her an increased vocabulary of about 16 million new words. To arDra, each of these words is a particular method to generate an ephemeral key that can be used to encrypt, decrypt, search, modify, and perform analytics on the data. The DDNA and AEKL language is unique to every database in your organization, offering an additional layer of security.
Distributed Network (DNet)
The ShieldIO DNET is a high-availability, fault tolerant, multi-site, multi-node proprietary Hardware Security Module that stores distributed, fragmented objects such as DDNAs, DSSs, and the database AEKL and provides them upon request to within a proprietary tunneling mechanism to certain client applications for management purposes as well as any drivers embedded with arDra. No single node or site of the DNET contains even a single DDNA or DSS in its entirety.
Financial industry transaction data is the new oil providing a valued source of new revenue and delivering innovative competitive differentiators in a highly competitive market. In a time when data and content is absolutely critical to business success, data hacks are an alarming and regular occurrence, damaging reputations and undermining consumer confidence.
The market is in flux as technologies such as cloud migration, add to the complexities organizations face as increasing regulatory compliance combines into the perfect storm.
Today the cyber security market is flooded with many solutions for securing networks and applications. ShieldIO secure autonomous drivers is the only solution that ensures your data is encrypted no matter where it is in its lifecycle, while enabling searching and analytics on encrypted data without opening it up to risk.
Healthcare is in a transformative state. With data sources on the rise, giving providers the ability to mine information giving unparalleled benefits to their users. This data explosion comes at a cost. Increased regulatory compliance with PHI and GDPR regulations and more extensive data theft by hackers who also wish to profit from the valuable data.
With ShieldIO secure autonomous drivers healthcare providers now have a solution that ensures sensitive patient data remains encrypted to deliver higher quality care while reducing cost with confidence that patient data is protected and compliant with privacy regulations. Data is secured without disruption to healthcare providers ability to mine the data for information, enabling them to deliver better more advanced services to their patients.
Insurance companies have used different technologies and databases to better understand their customers and changing regional and geo market needs. As a result, they might have a mix of new – as well as out dated – mix-and-match security solutions. In an environment with ever increasing value in insurance providers’ data, the cyber criminals are using the most advanced cyber weapons available to get access to that data.
With ShieldIO secure autonomous driver solution, insurance providers can use their full data with sensitive patient or fi nancial data remaining encrypted to deliver higher quality care while reducing cost with confidence that patient data is protected and compliant with privacy regulations.
The ShieldIO secure autonomous driver secures data at rest, intransit and in memory protecting diverse data requirements of insurance companies delivering a true protection from breach.
Predicting trends, optimizing pricing and forecasting demand, are just some of the ways that eCommerce businesses are using data to gain a competitive advantage. But the challenge is capturing and analyzing all the interactions consumers have throughout the purchasing cycle – products viewed, clicks, past purchases etc. – and deliver personalized product recommendations based on what that eCommerce provider knows about an individual customer.
For eCommerce providers’ predictive intelligence recommendations can significantly improve the business bottom line.
With ShieldIO secure autonomous driver solution, eCommerce providers can use their full data with sensitive consumer or financial data remaining encrypted to deliver higher quality data analytics while reducing cost. It enables the delivery of data-rich profiles of different audience segments with confidence that data is protected and compliant with privacy regulations such as GDPR.
