Kinamik is focused unlike any other on bringing innovation and breakthrough solutions to solve the information assurance problem- to create data you trust (sm). A sea of sensitive data, event records, corporate secrets, high value content and digital media generated each minute of every day, can easily be duplicated, manipulated or deleted today. Our technologies are used whenever users need to be certain that the classified or sensitive data streams that they are working with have not been tampered with or when irrefutable records are required. For cloud providers, we bring realtime, cost-effective data assurance and third party validation capabilities to ensure transparency. Our innovative data assurance solutions can also pinpoint exactly when and if an event record has been modified or deleted, or when security policy thresholds have been exceeded.
Compliance, regulations and industry standards specify protected sensitive data and audit trails
Organizations are increasingly having to bear an undue burden to search against, centralize and secure audit data (e.g. web services audit trails) due to financial and privacy regulatory compliance. This burden is increased when sensitive data needs to be defended in a court of law in order to support a legal case. Kinamik technologies help achieve compliance by providing for irrefutable data, thus reducing the costs and the complexity usually associated with these processes.
The threats are moving well inside the perimeter: the insider threat
There is a growing risk of malicious or unwanted manipulation, especially by insiders. This threat applies not only to disgruntled employees but also to former employees, contractors, temporary workers, consultants and outsourcers. The best way to deter and minimize the insider threat is by rendering sensitive data immutable and tamper-evident, even when accessed by the most privileged users. This information is then stored and vaulted in a centralized repository that provides for separation of role and protection of key material, and raising the protection level by optionally using leading market-available HSMs.
Forensics and Courts of Law: Proving the authenticity of data for its use as evidence
A proactive forensic-readiness approach will help your organization lower its e-discovery costs, specifically when dealing using audit trails as an irrefutable record of what transpires in your organization. Kinamik aids in establishing a forensic readiness approach by building an independent and dedicated “always-on” auditing platform that adds evidentiary weight to what was formerly untrusted data. Compensating controls are simply inadequate to the task and are no longer “good enough”.
Who should use Kinamik?
Our clients are in the financial, telecommunications, cloud computing, medical, pharmaceutical, law enforcement and government sectors. However, we believe that over time all corporations and government agencies will implement independent, dedicated, pervasive and tamper-evident audit vaults and provide immutability properties to all sensitive data generated and used inside the organization. By doing this they will cost efficiently meet compliance guidelines, be able to safeguard against the insider threat, and present this information to auditors, regulators and as e-evidence in a court of law.
