Follow on Google News | Stealth Startup Unveils Breakthrough Semantic Analysis for Information SecuritynexTier Networks Delivers Higher Intelligence to Address Data Leak Protection Flaws
By: self nexTier is believed to be the first to have developed technology that protects information based on cutting edge semantic analysis techniques. nexTier’s technology can discover with extreme accuracy where a specific piece of information came from, for example from which document, database, email, and so forth, even if that information was modified or retyped in a different context. The technology has proven to be greatly resistant to evasion techniques, and it enables the transparent enforcement of security policies that control where information can go and with whom it can be shared – even across multiple enterprises. The algorithms underlying the core technology are also language-independent and can, for example, process at the same time and with equal accuracy English, French, Arabic, and Asian content. "For too long IT professionals have been promised true security for their most sensitive information, only to be disappointed by technologies that are fairly easily circumvented," To achieve such a high level of accuracy at the scale of the modern enterprise, nexTier had to innovate on multiple fronts. The Company’s Security-Semantic CORelation and indEXxing (S2 COREX™) algorithms can discover, classify, and index information in real-time within a security context using breakthrough methods that overcome the accuracy, scale and speed limitations of traditional Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) and other similar algorithms. In addition, to specifically protect content identified as security critical, nexTier developed new algorithms to extract, or “sequence,” "Today’s data security products are hamstrung by their dependency on traditional non-semantic techniques that are inherently susceptible to evasion and which carry high administrative costs due to their large storage capacity needs,” said Bernard Harguindeguy, veteran executive of the information security industry at such companies as Greenborder (acquired by Google), Sygate (acquired by Symantec), and WorldTalk (acquired by Tumbleweed). “nexTier’s unique Semantic-DNA Sequencing™ technology and S2 COREX™ semantically- “By adding real-time semantic intelligence to data security, nexTier is changing the rules for what enterprise customers should expect,” said Matt Ocko, a seasoned Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist and member of nexTier Networks’ Board of Directors. “The combination of accuracy, automation, and performance on a very large scale will establish nexTier as a force to be reckoned with in the fast-growing security market. The fundamental nature of nexTier’s underlying Semantic-DNA™ nexTier Networks will begin shipping their revolutionary new level of information security technology and product in early Q3 of 2008. About nexTier Networks Headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, nexTier Networks created a whole new way to secure business information by firewalling data at what the company calls the “semantic layer” – the network communications layer at which the semantic meaning in data is communicated. Following years of research and development, nexTier delivers breakthrough semantically- End
