Pattern Authority Monitors Content for Property Loss

Pattern Authority secures intellectual property by analyzing structure, content and potential obfuscation.

Intellectual property is the new barometer for business success in the Information Age. In today's marketplace, companies that are rich with intellectual property are more competitive than their financially wealthy counterparts. Acquiring businesses, investing in research and generating new solutions that result in next generation products are the keys to responding to rapidly changing markets. These intellectual investments frequently go unprotected, and often find their way out of a business as quickly as they found their way in.

Businesses are failing to protect these knowledge investments with adequate data policy and enforcement practices. The majority of businesses don't even know what Intellectual Property they have, not to mention how much of it has left their organization. Arguably, the biggest threat to an organization is losing its intellectual assets by poor information management practices. Employees often don't know the policy for sharing information, or lack the ability to discern between public and sensitive information. Consultants, malicious employees and even partnerships may cause undo harm to a business by opening pathways for IP to leak out of an organization.

CyberSoft, using its intelligence engine, has developed a comprehensive solution for OEM's to protect their customer's IP assets. This engine is the result of military recommendations to identify comprehensively extremely complex and hidden patterns. Using 15 years of defense industry development, Pattern Authority can effectively neutralize IP loss for an organization at the electronic perimeter. Pattern Authority stops even the most malicious forms of IP loss by leveraging technology originally designed to identify obscure national threat signals. Pattern Authority can identify patterns that were intentionally hidden by removing unnecessary characters and structure, or simply stop the transmission of data when an absent minded employee sends proprietary information.

Here's an example.

Joe Employee creates a web based email account from a public domain such as hotmail. In most circumstances, this is not a malicious activity and is typically acceptable by an organization. One week before Joe gives his notice to leave the organization, he decides that the customer database is as much his as it is the organization's. He copies the customer database from its original form into a spreadsheet and renames the file.

Most companies would not even know that their database has just been compromised. Additionally, the company may in jeopardy of losing business to its newfound competitor, Joe Enterprises.

Pattern Authority would allow a business to prevent any Internet transfer that contains this IP. Preventing Joe from sending customer databases, confidential presentations, or other property via electronic means would be prevented when using Pattern Authority.

Content Filtering is one more advantage for enterprise OEM's to partner with CyberSoft. Pattern Authority is the only single source engine capable of stopping malicious attacks from virus, spyware and spam threats, in addition to enforcing compliance and data policy. OEM's that integrate Pattern Authority receive complete control of their product, rather than relying on third parties to update and maintain their solutions.
