S T O P data theft! tetraguard: protection against internal and external intrusion - You've protected your IT infrastructure, with diskless workstations and a cunning password system, from unauthorized access and data theft? ++ Admirable! - You're enjoying the benefits of USB interfaces for your everyday workflow - using them for easy connectivity with peripherals like the mouse, scanner, printer, chipcard reader, etc.?? ++ Clever! - But the same interfaces can allow hackers or company staff (!) to steal your data in just seconds !! -- Whoops! Every workstation has interfaces through which uncontrolled data is interchanged via removable storage media. Memory sticks have become increasingly popular for this purpose because of their compact size and powerful storage capacity. But they make the system vulnerable. An intruder, even without much computer know-how, can enter through the USB interface and get around the operating system's protective functions, take control of the computer and then illicitly copy out vital data! Switching off these interfaces is not a practical option. They are needed for peripheral equipment like scanners or printers. USB interfaces make it possible to disconnect a device while the system is running and connect another. But it is precisely this flexibility that creates vulnerability: as new hardware products like memory sticks and external hard drives come increasingly into use, the data thieves have more and more devices at their disposal! At available speeds of up to 60 megabytes per second, they can raid your sensitive business data in a moment. In December 2003 the Federal Data Protection Commissioner issued a report drawing public attention to the growing problem of corporate data theft. It has helped raise awareness throughout the media. Studies show that the damage faced by German industry came to as much as 7.5 billion euros in 2002 alone. Only 17% of companies suspect that the problem may be in-house. Most companies are apparently unaware that just one single malicious intrusion can cause enormous damage. With access to USBconnected storage media, anyone can copy sensitive data in seconds! "What companies used to keep securely in their safe now lies around unprotected in the company network," reports Karl-Heinz Moewes, a former police superintendent, speaking at a meeting of experts in Munich, "so you shouldn't be surprised at the rapid rise in data theft." And John McCormick, a journalist and analyst specializing in security, sums up danger from within, "For IT companies the greatest threat is probably someone they know on first name terms." And it is certainly not just the big companies that are affect. Leading-edge small and medium-sized businesses often have specialists with innovative ideas of great interest to competitors. Price lists, strategies and research results are of immense value to other companies, as are client details and accounting data. This is precisely where our developers can offer comprehensive support - with our novel patented security software solution. Thanks to uncrackable encryption rooted in the deepest level of the operating system (e.g. Windows ®) the solution ensures the full confidentiality of data. You continue to enjoy all the advantages of the USB interfaces while stopping any illicit data transfer. This means it protects and secures all your removable storage media from unwanted access. A new way of thinking about the security problem has brought guaranteed data confidentiality. With our solution, no unauthorized computer can now read the copied data from removable devices like: + Memory-Sticks + Digital cameras + Firewire + Disk drives + USB + External Hard Drives + mp3 players + ZIP drives + etc A security key uniquely encrypted for your personal use acts as an additional shield: it enhances your existing data security and backup systems by giving you the fullest protection for data on removable storage media. Once installed - and you can do this easily yourself - the software operates without the user having to intervene. And when a network expands, this innovative software tool will automatically adapt. There's no doubt that those little "data coolies" (memory sticks and external hard drives) are very handy. When plugged into a USB interface they are very convenient both as removable storage or as a drive. It's so simple to copy data back and forth! In terms of capacity, they are the alternative to CD-RWs and are suitable for backups. The transporting and safekeeping of removable storage media demands special security measures to prevent any unauthorized reading and loss of confidentiality. An effective solution is encryption with a key that remains unknown to any potential attacker and makes his attempts at access futile. In practice this method of protection is not widely used because it previously involved too much time and effort. Your organizational tools for data protection With our innovative software solution you first of all define the security domain for your data, e.g. your company network. From then on, the software looks after the confidentiality of your data by means of powerful encryption. Within the security domain this encryption is reciprocally removed, so there are no restrictions on the use of removable storage media (for example backup units). You can easily install it yourself. You don't need any experience; administration is unnecessary. In addition to the software, a core component the solution is its security key, which you only hand out to chosen owners. - uses novel heuristics (patent-pending) to identify vulnerable storage media and prevent abuse. - adapts automatically as the network expands. - protects itself from attacks. - prevents unwanted or illegal data transfer via removable storage media without losing any interface functionality. - All peripherals (mouse, scanner, printers etc) continue to work normally. - Storage media remain fully functional for legitimate use. - Unlike traditional approaches to security, there are no limitations on use and data continues to flow freely within the security domain. - allows removable storage media to be used without any risk of data abuse by unauthorized persons. - can operate with all storage media devices generally available on the market, like memory sticks, external hard drives, etc. It also supports removable and writeable data carriers like diskettes and zips. Inbound security ! - Computers within the security domain recognize the storage media (memory sticks, etc.) from their own domain. - Once activated, the inbound security make it impossible for viruses or other malware to be introduced into the protected network via outside storage media. - Unauthorized software cannot be executed. Outbound security ! - The data can only get out with an authorization key. - The data in your security domain is not readable on outside computers. - does not restrict the use of interfaces with all their features. There are no problems with the removal or switching off of interfaces or drives. - This means your computer hardware will retain full functionality. - You can carry on working in exactly the same way as before. - There are no problems in using the whole spectrum of new applications, including unrestricted use of memory sticks and other storage devices. - There is no need for alterations to the logic of the operating system or for a special file system (like EFS, Encrypting File System). None of the specific features of a particular file system (e.g. data compression, access control etc.) are affected. (The access control feature is generally only effective internally, i.e. outside users with administrative authorization can take control.) The protection offered here is not tied to a particular file system but supports any file system. - works automatically, so the user doesn't have to do anything. - is not even noticeable in ongoing operations. - since none of its functions need to be performed by the computer operator, there is no danger of operator errors due to negligence or malicious intent. - On request, and only by giving special identification, can you temporarily suspend the encryption system. - Accidental or intentional evasion of the protection is made impossible. - In addition to the software, another core components of tetraguardusb is its security key, which you only make accessible to chosen owners. - is robust, reliable and needs little servicing - You can install the system yourself. - Typical vulnerabilities caused by errors in the administration are reliably avoided. - automatically adapts as your network expands. - requires no further administration after installation - is installed on just one computer per network; installation is automatically completed on all the others. - works with Windows®. Maximum protection is achieved for your Windows® NT, 2000 or XP. The access control features supplied with the operating system remain effective. - protects itself - Decentralized installation of client software and the keyserver protect against attacks and offer an effective shield to spying. - The encryption data is not located - as is usual - on the hard disk; rather, it is on the chip in the individual client-specific security key, which is only accessible to the authorized administrator. - makes it much simpler to comply with legal requirements for data protection: - Confidential data stocks can be kept on a removable storage unit to which physical access can easily be restricted (e.g. securely locked in the safe). - But even if storage media are lost, the data will be unreadable and thus worthless to the finder. - Making backups remains as simple and easy as before, e.g. using memory sticks. The criteria usually applied for safe arrangements for transferring and depositing data are no longer important, since an outside computer simply cannot read the data. So we provide you with a a three-component solution: 1.) Cryptographic key = central security key. 2.) Self-protecting software for the security domain. 3.) Security for storage media (memory sticks, removable devices): outbound/inbound
