Detect, Monitor, Track, Control, Intercept

Identity theft, web-based organized crime, insider threats, mobile weaknesses, denial of service attacks ... the list of IT threats and vulnerabilities threatens to outpace the expansion of technology itself. True security is found in a unified approach that addresses the fundamentals of cyber-crime: Content (the target); and Behavior (the cause).

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, including:

• Network Monitoring
• Network Policy Enforcement
• Intrusion Detection
• Attack Sensing
• Behavioral Monitoring
• Incident Response and more.

By monitoring content and behavior patterns, Edge Content Assurance tools, such as Edge Data Alchemist, empower organizations to guard against potential network intrusions, or trouble from within. Data Alchemist works in multiple ways - to filter, track and/or block incoming attempts to access internal information, or to filter or block outgoing access to undesirable external sites.

Security operations teams can deploy Data Alchemist to quickly create and set multiple threat scenarios. When an indicated threat meets certain threat criteria, Data Alchemist dispatches events and alarms to central security information management consoles and/or generates detailed reports. In addition, Data Alchemist can block unauthorized access attempts and ensure the security of valuable corporate information assets.

Content Assurance for Network Policy Enforcement

Smart net policies are an essential start. Ongoing policy enforcement is vital. However, preaching abstinence simply isn't enough. More often than not, the behavior that puts content at risk isn't intentional. Edge helps you set, apply and enforce meaningful network policies to safeguard private information from getting out, while stopping malware from getting in.

Edge Content Assurance Solutions identify unauthorized activity and enforce policies through response options ranging from passive monitoring to proactive intervention. Edge Data Alchemist helps mitigate behavioral risk by:

• Evaluating what users do, not just where they go
• Detecting patterns of activity that could evolve into malfeasance
• Responding with warnings, alerts, or automatic action
• Averting behavior before it endangers content

Monitoring and collecting information regarding content and behaviors is part of the solution. However, with the increasing number of users, volume of content, and speed of communication, a new challenge emerges. Fast and effective counter-measures require the ability to quickly collect information from disparate resources, and to sort and present it to the right people in a concise, visual manner.

Edge combines Data Alchemist with its groundbreaking 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.

Detect, Monitor, Track, Control, Intercept

Edge Technologies' Cyber-Security² combines Content Assurance and Data Visualization to provide an intelligent, easily deployed, configured and operated cyber-security solution that enables security specialists to support network policy enforcement, as well as lawfully intercept and track Internet-based online criminal activities. Edge Cyber-Security Solutions empower organizations to:

• Lawfully, track, monitor, detect and report on actual or potential online criminal behavior, fraud, or cyber-crime.
• Pinpoint the location and identify the behavior of the perpetrator - potentially before a crime is committed.
• Enable remote detection of multiple suspects and scenarios from any location.
• Combat virtually any form of cyber-crime by building threat scenarios representing undesired Internet behavior.
• Capture activity threads as electronic trace evidence that can be used for prosecuting the crime.
