Enterprises, small and medium sized businesses, industry, and government organizations face a security paradox. While they realize the need to open their networks to a wide range of users in order to increase worker productivity, to wring new efficiencies from supply chains, and to compete in global markets, they also realize the need to minimize their exposure to hackers, malware, and disaffected employees.

The same network access that increases productivity can also admit worms, viruses, and other types of malware, triggering attacks on data center resources and even the network fabric itself. Perimeter defenses such as firewalls don't solve the problem. Internal intrusions now constitute more than 80% of all attacks.

The challenge is: the more open business processes become, the more vulnerable they are to costly business disruptions, financial losses, compromise of intellectual property, brand devaluation or serious conflicts with data privacy and protection laws.

How can enterprises make the most of network services and the Internet, while protecting mission-critical operations? How can enterprises move at Internet speed without Internet insecurity?

Spin Networks offers communications and monitoring solutions for protecting assets and managing access-matched to the unique business and technology needs of our customers and to manage their constantly changing and evolving networks.

The protection of a company's electronic assets is of primary importance. Today, we transfer encrypted information that was previously sent by registered mail or even by courier, to secure against industrial espionage, to protect sensitive information about people, and to safeguard our expertise and knowledge.

Sensitive data has to be protected from unauthorized access and reading on almost every computer and workstation. In companies, this includes internal, confidential information like management analyses, research results, and personnel documents.

For both business and personal information, the loss of critical information can lead to financial damage and loss of trust.

It is difficult enough to restrict access of authorized users to necessary files, but the repeated storage in different locations, the partly authorized access of external persons (business partners or consultants), or the use of outsourcing service providers brings about additional challenges to communications and data security. The access to critical data such as management reports, R&D or product development information has to be controlled in the company's own best interest.

Enhanced financial disclosure requirements have added new significance to the auditing process. New regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA extend the range of required audit functions to the scrutiny of everything from the assumptions embedded in financial reports to employee actions. The only way to ensure that 'audit' liability has been properly addressed is to have access to all activities involved in the formation and evaluation of reports and documentation. Spin Networks unique technology streamlines this process with its capacity to assemble deeper layered and broader source data forensically related to the focused-on activity or function. This data ensures harmony between actual and reported information. Reports are reliable and transparent and ensures a company's reporting is able to withstand the scrutiny of audits.

Specific reporting and alerting systems are simple to construct. With the click of a mouse a CFO can see who had access to information during preparation of financial reporting documents and when they had it. With a click of the mouse he can see who had access to sensitive internal memos, company trade secrets and when. Alerting systems are also simple to implement using the same reporting logic.

Spin Networks' unique products are able to supply and feed back data with respect to conformity, and is advantageous for the implementation of all types of business rules and policies. Spin Networks solutions can be used to build a wide array of custom reporting and alerting applications, to embed milestones and benchmarks into any business rule implementation. This may be crafted to enforce existing policy, while identifying the need for future alterations or changes to a policy or system rules.

Any business rule or corporate policy can be evaluated and managed from the PC. HR issues such as corporate sexual harassment policies, offending memos, IM, email, etc., are easily enforced without invasion of privacy by merely alerting for offending material and automatically having it placed in a directory for later reference should the need arise. Access to confidential material (legal, financial, technical) with respect to department, personnel, time frame (intra-day, aging, etc.), downloading to other media, can be similarly reported on and categorized for compliance. Far more complex business rules can be enforced through multiple layers of reporting, alarming and action.

With Spin Networks technology solutions, managers can track the evolution and flow of content as it moves through a system. Useful and utilized material can be readily identified, then promoted, while ineffective content can be updated or flushed from the system. Points of effective content change can be recognized and reinforced. Content that is part of a company's IP is easily inventoried, updated or purged. Using similar logic, random content can also be tracked, quantified, and managed in order to identify and implement new directions and trends, as well as compliance.

Complex management systems can be built using Spin Networks' data sets. They can be used to evaluate and track documents and their evolution through an enterprise. Evaluation parameters can include: number of accesses in a given period, frequency of changes, number of accessing personnel by document, accesses and changes by department, and so forth. Alerts can be generated by specific activity or by lack of a specific activity.

Like process management, performance management is a systematic approach that requires data, planning, as well as a platform for implementation and follow up.

With the content provided by Spin Networks, the necessary evaluative data is available for analysis across all corporate activities. Our unique dataset permits 'performance' managers to focus on the entire organization, individual departments, specific employees, services, or - in conjunction with Spin Networks' process management tools - processes. Benchmarks can be set across all levels and referenced against performance data filtered from our workstation data.

For example, a company's help desk performance can now be measured not only with traditional call times and volumes but also with content sent, information distributed and response tabulation. Even more important is the ability to easily reference relative performance against custom criteria, staff, time, etc. With Spin Networks solutions, new performance measures can be created by managers who otherwise would not have the data or the analysis power to do so.

Investment made in the processes of planning, creation and patenting need to be augmented with investment in protecting proprietary content.

Spin Networks simple, comprehensive knowledge-safeguarding architecture allows managers to automate the protection policies for monitoring intellectual property in the form of digital assets and portfolios. Reporting and alerting structures can be implemented to answer 'who is using what, where and why' queries. Automated response systems are easily constructed to 'dig' deeper into events that require closer scrutiny. Secure directory features encourage participation by employees to properly safeguard and use the company's Intellectual Property.

Even in the best of circumstances, IT managers aren't certain that the security level of VPN's or point-to-point connections that provide remote access aren't exposing the company network to malicious intrusion.

Spin Networks' technology addresses the issue head on through its VPN layer (VPNL). VPNL allows remote devices to establish an ultra-secure outbound connection to a local device (or local devices to establish an 'outbound' connection to a remote device) without the need for configuring firewalls, dedicated connections or more than one valid IP address. A dedicated server local on the company network (with a valid IP address) brokers an outbound connection from a remote device, irrespective of whether the request is inbound or outbound, authenticated and secured over any standard Internet connection.

With this ultra secure connection IT managers can extend their monitoring range to include employees that utilizing company PC's in remote locations. This essentially includes any employee with a laptop in use conducting company business outside of the local network. Spin Networks technology can grant (whether monitored or not) secure access through a remote terminal control program e.g., VNC, to access resources local on the company network. The topology is fully scalable limited only by bandwidth and server CPU processing capacity.

Harmful events may arise from deliberate attacks, or through unintentional and inappropriate use of the workstation. Though damaging activities may be uncommon, they must be addressed with a sense of urgency. Spin Networks; technology allows managers to build up an internal security system to isolate and prevent potential breaches. Managers can provision monitoring and alerting functions to create pattern recognition procedures that find the outliers currently undetected within the normal parameters of a company's IT use policy.

Alert systems are a good example. They can be easily customized to deal with exploits like "Scatter" where the attack profile has definable parameters that easily fit within Spin Networks' alerting structure. It is easy for our technology to detect even the most patient and persistent hacker looking to disguise his attack. Direct data from workstations is extremely effective for profiling any sort of attack that requires unrestricted access to network resources as well as profiling for unintentional misuse of resources that could compromise network security.

The investment made in hard and soft digital resources - bandwidth, hardware, software, Internet/email, IM access, peripherals, etc. can not be adequately accounted for without direct information about their use. This can only come from the point of use - the workstation. This information is essential to properly manage, allocate, and monitor resource consumption. Deployment of resources is extremely time consuming and typically inaccurate.

With Spin Networks' technology, software and hardware upgrades can be planned for and allocated with confidence. Company access rights and resource consumption can be distributed efficiently and both can be automated to minimize manpower.

Hardware and software assets and their management are one of, if not the largest, non-personnel related corporate expenses. Reports that profile hardware use by User or by workstation location (multiple users) are simple to construct. These reports can return a ranking (cost) by User that makes the hardware migration and upgrading process painless, efficient and fair. The same is true for the deployment of software assets where use and intensity can be measured unequivocally.
