MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TASCET today
announced the release of its SYM Certain™ software suite to protect
enterprises from cyberthreats, data breaches and synthetic
identities.
SYM Certain is a protocol that is the foundation of a framework
for cyber-driven enterprises. The SYM Certain framework uses a
common lexicon across departments, so a tactical approach to
governance, risk and compliance strategies can be achieved
throughout the enterprise.
"The human factor is the greatest threat to a cyber-driven
enterprise," said Larry Aubol,
TASCET's CEO. "'Amateurs hack systems, professionals hack people' –
to borrow a quote from Bruce
Schneier. The first line of a defense is a strong framework
that provides certainty. With SYM Certain, enterprises defend
against a wide range of risks, including zero-day threats."
SYM™ provides certainty of all users – internal and
external to the enterprise – and does not rely on authentication or
devices that have become the tools of hackers and fraudsters. SYM
eliminates credential deception and the need for passwords and
PINs. Companies manage risk within each department based upon one
application, without multiple points of integration.
"Companies have been mounting an underpowered defense against a
smorgasbord of cyber-enabled threats that are continuously evolving
– threats that, ultimately, consist of humans gaining access to
data. That's the lead risk to every enterprise right now," said
Glenn Schoen, Netherlands-based security management and
terrorism specialist and CEO of Boardroom@Crisis. "The capabilities
gained through the SYM Certain framework give companies knowledge
of people, not the credentials they present."
The SYM protocol creates a high-level solution that enables
audit capabilities of cybersecurity practices. This helps eliminate
the financial risk associated with data breaches and intruders
within a network.
The release of SYM Certain reflects TASCET's pursuit of creating
software that restores consumer privacy and confidence. "We're
already seeing the impact of the EU's General Data Protection
Regulation on corporate balance sheets," said Aubol. "As new laws,
such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, emerge – and
compliance requirements along with them – SYM provides an
audit-ready resource."
With SYM, TASCET has created the certainty layer for OpenID
Connect. Now, clients using OpenID Connect can replace the
authentication of users with a new cyber-standard that provides
certainty of users. This brings integrity to OpenID Connect and
prevents its misuse by fraudsters.
According to Robin Sage,
cybersecurity analyst and noted speaker, a security concept gaining
the attention of the C-suite is zero trust. "The idea of not
trusting anyone until you verify that
you know who they are makes no sense," said Sage. "It's an
interesting approach, much like IAM software. But I can tell you
from experience that without a SYM Certain protocol in place,
neither provides any level of certainty. Verification misleads even
the C-suite into trusting what is still unknown."
