·

From unauthorized access and hacking

Of any form and size of data (including confidential business and government information, digital music and movies for both organizations and individuals)

·

While significantly reducing total cost-of-operation for secure networks

·

Through centralized real time control of IT management & security instructions by administrators (instead of developers & end-users)

·

Without the need for re-development or re-installation of hardware or software as management changes, including to authentication, encryption algorithms, keys, key length and levels of compression, are distributed automatically, immediately and transparently to all customer application end points on the network

The recent onslaught of cyber attacks against major organizations, including hacking, theft of stored digital keys, and denial of service attacks has been well publicized. Validian’s CTP 2.0 will enable Businesses and Governments to prevent, not just detect, these cyber attacks, to access and transfer valuable digital information through any networks, and to ensure that this valuable information is protected throughout the Cloud.
