“Security Startup of the Year”
Information Security Awards 2018

On March 28, 2018, IT One held a two-day gathering of European specialists to assess information security’s crucial issues and to evaluate the industries cutting-edge cyber-security companies and technologies. Over one hundred ICT and cyber-security experts gathered to attend the Information Security Awards gala dinner where the best practices and solutions were recognized by professionals in this sector. Stratus Digital Systems was awarded Security Startup of the Year on the basis of not only having the only truly new and effective cyber-security technology, but also on the basis of Stratus’ widespread relevance.

2018 Information Security Award Winners

“People’s Choice Award” PricewaterhouseCooper’s 2017 Cybersecurity Day

In October 2017, PwC held its international Cybersecurity Day in Luxembourg. This event brought together 10 of the world’s most cutting-edge cybersecurity companies to present their technologies to a powerful audience of angel investors, venture capital companies (VCs), CEOs, Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) and cybersecurity experts from all over the world. At this event, Stratus was voted the Most Promising Company!

The Threat

The Cyberattacker

In today’s world, cyberattackers are increasingly able to penetrate and steal data from the world’s most heavily fortified data centers. They operate as profit centers, regularly leveraging technology to create new tools to launch attacks in an unpredictable fashion at a rate that overwhelms defenses.

It typically takes cybercriminals 5 days to breach an internet-facing system. Once a successful penetration occurs, the average cybercriminal’s residence time on a system before detection is over 180 days. During this time, they have virtually unlimited time to dwell on servers, escalate their access privileges, and move laterally to locate and exfiltrate sensitive data.

Targeted Organizations

Targeted organizations with highly valuable data are continuously trying to defend against innovative, unpredictable and overwhelming attacks. Their IT departments are cost centers that are scrambling against the clock to update threat detection systems, using tools with built-in obsolescence. This results in an escalating, unwinnable and never-ending battle. In this landscape the best outcome for the target is a draw, until the next cyberattack technology advances.

It is possible, however, to externally disrupt this permanent power imbalance in the global cyber landscape by limiting two critical elements attackers require to be successful in their activities: A known Target (static and continuously addressable target) and Time (time on target).

Patent Pending Technology

The Stratus Solution

Stratus Digital Systems provides a paradigm-shifting solution by denying the cybercriminal both Time and Target. We do this by creating on-demand servers with fresh, transaction-specific software, at randomly assigned, unpredictable IP addresses. Only the authorized transaction participants have access, with administrator accounts and privilege escalation risk being eliminated altogether. When the participant terminates the transaction, the transaction software is erased, the server is destroyed, and the IP address is retired. Thus, the attackers’ maximum potential dwell time drops from months to minutes. No territory remains for the attacker to exploit.

Stratus’ patent pending technology protects the highest yielding attack vector: networked servers connecting authorized users with databases containing sensitive and high value data. Creating on-demand, short-lived servers at unpredictable locations with random IP addresses results in dramatically diminished internet exposure and significantly reduced risk.

In addition to helping manage risk, Stratus enables organizations to reduce the costs associated with technology and human resources. Technology costs are reduced by shifting from continuous servers to on-demand, short-lived servers. Human resources costs are reduced through increased efficiencies (existing security systems, such as alert dashboards, are significantly quieted, enabling a more focused, strategic and efficient use of personnel’s time).

Reducing Internet Exposure

Stratus’ technology is an entirely new way of thinking about the Internet and cybersecurity. It is, in essence, a completely new type of platform, utilizing limited time and unpredictable targets to establish a new form of Internet security that falls entirely outside the former bounds of the established cybersecurity ecosystem. No other method attacks the cybersecurity problem in a similar fashion.
