# **Vulnerability Scanners Are Not Created Equal:**How Deep Does Your Scanner Go?
## “We know what is on the market. We know that no one else can detect known vulnerabilities as you can. This is an incredibly valuable tool.”
#### DIRECTOR OF CYBERSECURITY OPERATIONS FOR AN AGENCY OF THE US INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
#####
## Vulnerability Management: Intruder At Your Door
**Studies show that about** **80% of intrusions begin with an attack against a known software vulnerability.**
Over time, virtually all software spawns known vulnerabilities. These holes allow cyber adversaries to breach even the best maintained and most expensive cybersecurity systems. This is why even prestigious firms get hacked.
Whether the software is delivered with known vulnerabilities already lurking within, or whether the vulnerabilities appear over time, the problem has always been: **How can anyone Detect Known Vulnerabilities (DKV) and close the holes?**
Until the invention of AssuredScanDKV®, there was no cost-efficient or reliable way to automatically Detect Known Vulnerabilities.
## A Cybersecurity Breakthrough
AssuredScanDKV® automatically scans the libraries, DLLs and executables for known vulnerabilities. It also unpacks these software elements to review the binaries.
The scan produces a **catalog of prioritized software vulnerabilities** and the **necessary information to address remediation**. Quick and efficient, it does all this in background mode, without significant user intervention.
## Plays Well with Others
* Does not replicate or replace network scanners, good code practice scanners or any other type of scanner.
* Compatible with Vulnerability Manager/Dashboard tools on the market.
* Assured has a dynamic database management system capable of integrating international or proprietary data.
These deep software scans can be performed on a single workstation or across your entire network enterprise. Upon completion of the scans, **Assured identifies the vulnerabilities, prioritizes their criticality, and outlines the appropriate remediation to eliminate each vulnerability.**
## The Undeniable Proof
* Performs as promised, detecting known vulnerabilities in software that other scanning tools miss.
* Only system that detects known vulnerabilities in packed software executables and libraries.
* Does not need access to the original source code nor any user data.
* Makes use of the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and Assured Enterprises’ proprietary data repository.
* Approved for use by the US Department of Defense on their most sensitive networks after passing stringent testing and evaluations. DKV has been granted Department of the Navy Application and Database Management System (DADMS) approval for use on systems up to the Top Secret/SCI
* Available in both workstation and enterprise versions on multiple operating systems.
**DoD tested, quick installation**, **direct and time- efficient training** and an array of available support services, make AssuredScanDKV® a crucial component of mission critical systems.

# AssuredKey™ Encryption Management
### **Protecting Your Data Just Became Safer and Easier**
#### **Using blockchain technology and a patent pending invention, Assured has built a lightweight, highly effective key management system which allows for higher levels of encryption, with legally warranted access ONLY to the device in question to support law enforcement investigations.**
#### **With AssuredKey™, the dilemma the FBI and Apple encountered in 2016 has been resolved—a win for both privacy rights and law enforcement.**
##### To download more information about AssuredKeyTM, please click on image below:
## **What is AssuredKey™?**
####
AssuredKey™ is a software and cryptography system that provides emergency access to encrypted data without compromising its security.
AssuredKey™ manages data encryption keys, in a way which protects individual privacy rights, minimizes the risks of key loss or data loss, and allows emergency access to data.
AssuredKey™ is tied to a country-specific legal contract, which may provide for company-specific, customer-specific or device-specific right of access. Emergency access to the decrypted data is given only when the requirements of the legal contract have been satisfied.
## **The Three Keys**
#### AssuredKey™ splits the data encryption/decryption process key into three keys, any two of which can perform decryption.
### **Key 1**
#### Controlled by the data owner or their device.
### **Key 2**
#### Retained by a trusted service provider, with safeguards and protocols in place, or even an enterprise IT department.
### **Key 3**
#### Mathematically tied to a sophisticated legal contract using blockchain technology. Because none of the keys can perform decryption on their own, the risks of hacking or theft are virtually eliminated.
#### **2 Keys Required for Decryption**
## **Transparency**
A blockchain-based protocol creates a public audit trail which documents any decryption event which was permitted by the contract, even when a participant is forced to act against their will.
The AssuredKey™ architecture can be integrated into Enterprise encryption systems, or it can be built into the firmware of devices such as smart phones.
AssuredKey™ eliminates the need for any single entity to store master decryption keys, thereby removing the risk of theft and other liabilities and burdens normally carried by device manufacturers or service providers when they store their customer’s decryption keys.
## **Typical Applications**
#### Access to data provided without the owner’s cooperation if the owner is unavailable or under legal investigation.
#### Access to data provided to the cloud backup of an encrypted device if that device and its stored decryption key are damaged or lost.
#### Possible Scenarios
## Scenario #1: Telco and Government Pursuit of Authorized Investigations
#### A major Telco wants to differentiate themselves from their competitors by providing each customer with an encryption package that is integrated into the Telco’s OS. The encryption system can simply be pushed to customers via an update. In the past, perhaps your country’s government could access this Telco’s customer data at will. Not anymore. Privacy wins while authorized need-to-know access is seamlessly and quickly granted.
#### Because the Telco is now using a higher encryption system with AssuredKey™, the government will not be able to access it without following the pre-set written and approved rules built into AssuredKey™.
#### In the U.S., the government would need a court order before the data is released. The Golden Key\* key will be made available to the government for only that phone for the authorized period of time. The blockchain may be instructed to create a brand new set of keys when the government’s use of their Golden Key expires.
#### The government doesn’t run the risk of public outcry over backdoor break-ins or surreptitious surveillance.
### **\*What is a Golden Key?**
#### When the 3rd key is created and stored, it’s an escrow key. When it’s properly released, it transforms its function and becomes a Golden Key. The Golden Key then expires at the end of the authorized period when a fresh escrow key may be re-established.
## Scenario #2: Mobile Device Manufacturer vs. Law Enforcement
#### A terrorist has attacked innocent civilians in your country. Though the terrorist dies during the attack, their smart phone is recovered. The phone could have valuable intel on future attacks, but it is locked and the smart phone manufacturer is unable or unwilling to break encryption on the phone to allow law enforcement to retrieve information. The manufacturer argues that if they weaken the design to enable law enforcement access, it hurts the security of every other smart phone, creating a serious privacy issue. Both parties have valid points, so how do you solve this ethical, practical and legal dilemma?
### **Both parties have valid points, so how do you solve this ethical, practical and legal dilemma?**
#### In the U.S. and other nations, court orders authorize legitimate, limited access to someone’s smart phone, and AssuredKey™ provides swift, dedicated access. To protect everyone’s privacy, an approved court order triggers the release of a Golden Key which permits only one phone to be open without any impact on anyone else’s encryption.
#### With blockchain technology, Assured can generate billions of unique keys in short order, allowing each device to have a unique key with its own unique encryption code.
#### The precision and accuracy of the AssuredKey™ system is a powerful tool for both law enforcement and privacy advocates. Without having to resort to break-ins or backdoors, authorized parties can access data legally and ethically in real-world time while protecting the privacy rights of every other smart phone user.
## Scenario #3: Rogue Insider Locks Corporate Data Threatening Enterprise Banner with Technology
#### Picture a disgruntled employee, recently fired from his job at a large corporate enterprise. The employee decides to get even by using their administrator credentials to lock the company’s entire data system.
### **It’s easy to envision this scenario; it has happened many times at both small and large businesses, resulting in chaos and expensive workarounds.**
#### Assured has developed sophisticated, high-level encryption systems for those that need them. More importantly, for everyone, AssuredKey™ resolves the dilemma. In the U.S. and other nations, court orders authorize legitimate, limited access to someone’s smart phone, and a Golden Key provides swift, dedicated access. To protect everyone’s privacy, an approved court order triggers the release of a Golden Key which permits only one phone to be open without any impact on anyone else’s encryption. With blockchain technology, Assured can generate billions of unique keys in short order, allowing each device to have a unique key with its own unique encryption code. The precision and accuracy of the AssuredKey™ system is a powerful tool for both law enforcement and privacy advocates. Without having to resort to break-ins or backdoors, authorized parties can access data legally and ethically in real-world time while protecting the privacy rights of every other smart phone user.

# Biometric Technology Now at Assured
#### Assured’s TripleHelix® is the most comprehensive risk assessment system and the most precise cyber risk diagnostic system available. TripleHelix® comes with an optional run of AssuredScanDKV®, a deep software scanner than detects all known vulnerabilities lurking in software residing in a network.
#### This powerful framework also delivers a roadmap of cyber health improvements, a unique CyberScore® to measure and benchmark progress, plus it populates your Regulatory Compliance Dossier, all in one solution.
#### Now Assured has added a suite of biometric solutions to its comprehensive cybersecurity arsenal.
Biometrics measure and analyze a person’s unique characteristics. There are two types of biometrics: behavioral and physical. Behavioral biometrics are generally used for verification while physical biometrics can be used for either identification or verification. Integration of biometrics with state-of-the-art cybersecurity is at hand.
## Behavioral Biometrics
There are several behavioral biometric technologies that find unique identifying characteristics based on a user’s behavior while using their systems (keyboards, mouse, etc.).
Behavioral biometrics address major challenges in cyber defense and online fraud protection. Unlike physiological solutions, many behavioral biometrics do not require special hardware for data collection. They can be collected using standard devices such as a mouse, keyboard or smartphone; all which are readily available.
## Physical Biometrics
Physical biometrics are based on a person’s unique and measurable physical traits like their fingerprints, retinas and face. These characteristics are scanned by a device that connects to a database. The goal is to identify the individual by matching their unique traits to an existing record/file.
## How it Works
Depending on the application, biometric technology uses three primary modes of operation:
1. **Enrollment**—each user has their own biometric template that is created for them by capturing sample data and constructing a mathematical representation of corresponding biometric traits.
2. ​**Verification**—the user claims a distinct identity (e.g. by supplying a user name or identification). The person’s identity is validated by comparing the captured biometric data with the biometric template(s) stored in the system database for the claimed identity. It is a 1-to-1 matching process.
3. ​**Identification**—the system must identify a sample, like a latent fingerprint at a crime scene, by comparing it to all existing templates in a database until there is a match.
Assured will secure this data in storage, in transit and in cybersecurity access. It’s the perfect synergy of cybersecurity and biometrics.
