About the Company
Organizations are currently reliant on the old security paradigm of ‘Output Level’ information by collecting, aggregating and analyzing historical event log information from data bases in response to ‘alerts’ after a breach has occurred. At Decision Zone, we made a fundamental decision to move towards the new security paradigm at the ‘Input Level’ and we created “dzAudit”. This patented security software examines business process events ‘live’ at Layer 7 of the OSI Model before the breach occurs. The software focuses on the identification of anomalies in real time and in context no matter how much data is in motion. It introduces the concept of process as a perimeter and the ability to leverage an organization’s own processes (as represented by process maps) using graph technology to encapsulate all the information necessary to make a process execute as intended. Simply put, what a process-centric approach means for an anomalous transaction is that ”if it’s not on the map, it’s not in the system.” Any such anomaly can be managed and responded to appropriately. The implications for cyber security are significant, particularly for connected smart technologies, critical infrastructure, government, military, law enforcement, health care, financial institutions, BYOD devices, and cloud services.
