Contextual Intelligence Engine

Contextual Intelligence Engine is a technology that allows to gain advanced visibility of data transaction over applications that uses network. Context based security approach is a step ahead from traditional firewall capabilities. Using deep inspection at Different Levels for advanced security, Contextual Intelligence Engine understands the application and its data context. It allows to create context of SaaS applications and understand its usage, much deeper than just the application. Combined with Machine Learning, contextual intelligent engine helps in finding anomalies.

While traditional security systems’ primary focus is to prevent the wrong people from accessing critical information, context-based security’s focus is to enable the right people to access the right type and the right amount of information in the right situations.

  • Who is Using (IP/User ID)?
  • When (Data & Time Details)
  • How (The nature/Intention of application use)
  • From (Remote or Physical Presence)

  • To (The recipient of the communication)
  • Sender (Email ID)
  • Recipient (To, CC, BCC)
  • Data (Subject, Mail Body, Signature and Attachments)
  • Content of File (Deep Inspection of File Content)
  • Other Details (Hash value, Fingerprint, Meta Info & Watermark).
WHY DO YOU NEED

Contextual Intelligence for Security?

There is Increase in adaptation of Cloud/SaaS applications by business for allowing the ease of access to employees to certain data and services. These Businesses need context-intelligent security systems to ensure they secure all their business-critical data without compromising on the convenience of accessing data in exigent situations. This gives the business a robust layer of security that is also flexible and intelligent enough to allow access under the right set of circumstances. This expedites business processes and enhances business performance since sharing and accessing the necessary data is facilitated. Simultaneously, the system also maintains the confidentiality of business data by monitoring for abnormal network activity and preventing unauthorized access based on contextual information.

Features

  • Increased Visibility on data passing through SaaS applications.
  • Advanced Network Visibility
  • Limit the use of applications to business use only.
  • Better security for Mobile workforce.
  • Seamless security for roaming users by.
  • Better Gateway Security
  • Uncompromised End Point Performance

Benefits of

Complete Visibility

It has been evident and have become a thumb rule for cybersecurity to have visibility on things we want to protect. Simply, you cannot protect that you cannot see. While Cybersecurity is never a static, one-time initiative but an ongoing process that should always be top-of-mind for CSOs, CIOs, and other IT leaders. To that end, technology and security leaders should always have access to information regarding the security of their enterprise networks possible only if they have visibility not only on their network but beyond just the network. In fact, not just the leaders but even employees need real-time Data visibility to report any damage to or illicit use of the organization’s Critical Data. And ensuring enterprise-wide Data visibility should be a priority even if the organization uses the most cutting-edge cybersecurity tools and technologies. That’s because cybersecurity systems, while generally being effective at keeping bad actors out and sensitive data in, cannot keep your Data protected all the time and from all threats if it does not have visibility. There can always emerge newer forms of threats that may require the immediate attention of an enterprise’s cybersecurity personnel and leaders. And the time it takes between a threat’s incipience and the cybersecurity team’s awareness of it can be the difference between security and enterprise-wide mayhem.

The most compelling reason as to why data visibility is a must for data security is simply that it is impossible to protect what you can’t see. An enterprise data must be monitored everytime it exists the organization. That means having real-time knowledge of:

  • Every piece of information that is transmitted to, from, and within the organizational network.
  • The source and destination (E.g. URLs, email IDs, body content, subject, attachments, content of attachments etc.) of every inbound and outbound communication.
  • Gains visibility on internet activities of computer devices used by the enterprise, which includes all the laptop computer devices used by employees from other remote locations.

At GajShield we understand how enterprises workforce make use of data in their day to day activities and the importance of data for business continuity. These data are very useful and if fallen in wrong hands, can result into disastrous situations. To protect these data and prevent data exploitation, one must have visibility beyond just the traditional Layer 7 to understand i.e. understand of further contextual data that is associated with the identified application in use.

GajShield Data Security Firewall uses Contextual Intelligence Engine and Combines it with advanced reporting capabilities of GajOS: Bulwark for Enterprises to augment their traditional layer 3 (network level) security with a layer 7 (application level) security solutions and deep dive past than just the layer 7 into Data Context to create contextual information. GajShield Data Security Firewalls perform Data Layer inspection with the help of Contextual Intelligence Engine to create data context and analyze a broader range of parameters with greater in-depth data layer visibility, extending the visibility to more data like Email ID, Sender ID, recipient ID, CC mentions, Subject, Mail Body, Signature, File Content, downloader, uploader etc. across web traffic and SaaS applications to identify abnormal behaviors that may indicate potential cyber and data threats.
Analyzing these parameters, the Data Security Firewall determines the safety and legitimacy of communications & transactions and takes necessary actions to prevent data exploitation and this capability can is useful in mitigating the impact of a zero-day attacks.
