How SDNP Protocol, Introduced by HyperSphere, Secures Data
For the e-businesses dealing with data, security awareness has climbed to extraordinary heights as a result of the constant attacks and data breaches, which even the biggest companies can not completely deal with. Why cybersecurity is so difficult to get right?
Challenges for CTOs: A Need to Rethink Security
Data protection is one of the major forces driving the cybersecurity market growth nowadays. According to Cybersecurity Market by Solution Report, there is the burning need for cloud-based cybersecurity solutions: it is especially noticeable among small and medium-sized businesses. At the same time, 62% of CTOs (EY Global Information Security survey) says budget constraints are their biggest challenge. Utilizing SDNP (Secure Dynamic Network and Protocol) allows to CTOs to rethink their cybersecurity strategies: it will require only a team of software engineers that will connect their tech infrastructure with the HyperSphere platform.
SDNP in the OSI Seven Layer Model Network
SDNP protocol, invented two years ago and patented by HyperSphere in 2019, can entirely secure all operations with data, which are usually a subject of cyber crimes.
Unlike all the wide range of security solutions, available in the market that secure data only on the 7th layer of OSI model of the computer network, SDNP provides data protection on several layers of OSI: from the 3rd till 7th with possibility to store, transfer and process the company’s data securely and keep it completely immune from cyberattacks. As the number of continuous CTO challenges proved, securing only 7th, application layer, is not enough.
The seven-layer OSI model includes two lower layers for connecting a device to a network over a physical medium, two middle layers for controlling data transferring over the Internet, and three top layers for managing network applications (see pic.1). Sensitive information such as user ID, passwords, login credentials, cryptocurrency wallets private keys and so on exist and is operated on 7th, application layer.
Because of interoperability of the layers, when a piece of data is sent from one device to another, data from the application layer is passed down the OSI stack, then transmitted over the physical layer to the second device. Once delivered to its destination, the data is passed to the application layer for execution.
Within OSI, each layer has its own security vulnerabilities. So, securing just the layer 7 it is not possible to completely beat the vulnerabilities at all the other layers of the network. Big differentiation of SDNP is that it completely secures all information operated at layers 3–7. So, when data is transferred between layers, because of SDNP, it is protected in several ways: the mixed pieces of the data are transferred in a broken sequence plus the “junk” information is added to the content, which is being sent. Of course, everything is also encrypted. As soon as the information reach the 7th layer of the recipient’s device, the “junk” is eliminated, and information is restored to its original version. Simply, SDNP makes hacking the data impossible as the logic of the data mixing or it sequence can not be calculated by third parties.
Since SDNP transmits fragmented data, even if an attacker is able to break into a fragment of information, without the other corresponding pieces, fragmented contents would be incomplete and utterly useless, making further attacks meaningless.
