What is a Data-Centric Security Overlay?

High Impact on Data Security with Low Impact on Applications and Users

Cord3 separates data security from applications, so there is no need to change even a single line of existing application code to enjoy the benefits of Cord3’s data-centric security. Separate to Elevate.

Cord3 implements its data-centric security in Intercepts. These Intercepts get overlaid onto a network between users and application servers. By “overlaid”, we mean that there are minimal changes required to get Intercepts to work because they simply get connected to a network and immediately begin capturing data asset packets flowing over a network between end points. When a data asset (e.g., a file or an email) is fully re-built on an Intercept, the Intercept applies the organization’s security policy to that data asset before delivering the now-secured data to its destination.

Intercepts work by capturing data packets and the protocol layer. Different applications, such as file and email applications, use different protocols for transferring data over a network. That’s why Cord3 has different types of Intercepts for different types of information.

Cord3 delivers consistent data security across applications without making any changes to those applications! That’s what a data-centric security overlay is. Low impact on administrators, users, and applications. High impact on data security.

How Does a Data-Centric Security Overlay Impact Your Oraganization?

A data-centric solution that is also an overlay achieves the goals of data encryption and access control without requiring changes to applications on end-user devices or servers. The solution is literally overlaid onto an existing application network.
