Laurence Chang Cyber-Security2 Edge Cyber-Security2 transcends perimeter security and defense-in-depth. It combines powerful Content Assurance™ technologies with advanced Data Visualization tools to create a highly sophisticated cyber-security suite for both offensive and defensive deployments. Content Assurance is the cornerstone of true cyber-security. By monitoring content and behavior patterns, content assurance tools such as Edge Technologies’ Data Alchemist empower organizations to guard against potential network intrusions, as well as trouble from within. Data Alchemist can filter, track and/or block incoming attempts to access internal information. It can also filter or block outgoing access to undesirable external sites. Next, visualization transforms data into actionable intelligence. Edge combines Data Alchemist with our AppBoard Data Visualization technology to identify, track, analyze and visualize emerging threats, streamlining information access, analysis and decision-making. Edge AppBoard provides multiple data rendering and interaction widgets to provide real-time, meaningful, quick-glance visualizations regarding behaviors, network activity, and the actual content of the information requested and accessed. Combining Edge Data Alchemist with Edge AppBoard dramatically reduces development time (and costs) to produce an advanced cyber-security solution that augments and transcends traditional perimeter security and defense-in-depth approaches. Content Assurance + Data Visualization = Cyber-Security2. Easily deployed, configured and operated, Cyber-Security2 enables security specialists to support network policy enforcement, as well as lawfully intercept and track Internet-based online criminal activities. The path to higher Cyber-Security begins here.Flex-ability The RIA experts at Edge pioneered the use of tools such as Adobe® Flash®, Flex® and Adobe AIR™ to help our customers leverage their information resources to provide their customers greater value.

Request a no-obligation consultation to discuss the potential for Edge Technologies RIA solutions to help you achieve your mission.Case Study Prior to the design and deployment of Edge visualization technology, analysts and decision makers were often forced to make multiple inter-departmental and inter-agency requests for information and wait for responses. Final decision-making processes typically involved manual reviews, comparisons and compilations of hard copy spreadsheets and reports. Edge worked with the customer to develop a visualization framework and next generation widgets. The Edge solution dramatically reduced development time (and costs) and quickly provided a system that seamlessly collects and consolidates information from a variety of tools and applications, aggregates the information and presents it to the user through a highly customizable screen. Clever Widgets, Intelligent Solutions Leveraging its expertise in data integration with its use of leading-edge technologies, Edge was able to significantly accelerate the visualization process. Due to the team’s extensive work within the intelligence community, there was virtually no learning curve. And its comprehensive knowledge of data access and security significantly reduced the time and risk often associated with the integration of data from disparate sources, while providing the security and content management functions needed to control data, views and access into the system.

Most economists agree: the economic recovery is either imminent or underway. And while buyers remain tentative, the economic recovery presents once-in-a-generation opportunities for those businesses prepared for the dynamics of a changed marketplace. After a long recession, buyers emerge with pent-up demand, tempered by a newfound appreciation for value. In addition, many organizations have undergone significant staff cuts, forcing buyers and specifiers to pull double duty. In short, they have less time to devote to purchasing decisions, and less patience for vendors who are uninformed and unprepared.
