Although the concept of Zero Trust Architecture was introduced several years ago by John Kindervag, VP for Forrester Research, based on the principal of “Never Trust, Always Verify”, it has only recently been gaining popularity in wake of growing cyber-attacks. The National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) defines cyber-security standards, one of which is SP 800-207 “Zero Trust Architecture“.

GreenTec’s Zero Trust Storage™

Used by the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) SP 1800-25 and SP 1800-11 for “Data Integrity and Protection from Ransomware and other Destructive Events”. GreenTec is participating in other NIST NCCoE projects including SP 1800-10 for “Protecting Information and System Integrity in Industrial Control System Environments”.

The Zero Trust objective is to put controls in place as close to the Protect Surface as possible, creating a microperimeter to protect it.

Zero Trust Storage™ enforces a microperimiter that automatically defends critical data files and repositories with proven and simple to use defensive controls.  Available for the enterprise, in the Cloud, as a private or public Web Service, or provisioned by SAN/NAS on-prem appliances, individual disk devices, USB thumb drives, and microSD devices.

Zero Trust Storage™ simplifies secure remote teleworking for small, medium and large enterprises, maintaining security, trust and confidence in your data with legacy or Cloud apps in AWS, Azure, Google or other service providers with no hidden download fees. A key advantage is that all of the storage devices are customer-owned and controlled with access from any device or app. Remote monitoring and alerting controls and identifies data access, capacity, protection status, retention periods and audit logs.

With conventional storage, encryption only protects from data disclosure.   Just because data is encrypted it can still be deleted, re-formatted or re-encrypted by Ransomware causing major data loss.

Whereas, GreenTec’s Zero Trust Storage™ (ZTS) protects from disclosure and also from deletion, modification, or Ransomware with automatic self protecting patented data technologies, and are the secure storage used by the NIST NCCoE for Data Integrity Ransomware Protection.

Automatic Continuous Cyber-Defense

• Survivable Data – Data, files, cryptocurrency wallets, blockchain ledgers and other content cannot be manipulated, changed, deleted or attacked by Ransomware. Zero Trust Storage™ defeats cyber-attacks that try to write, change, delete, modify or reformat your data, keeping your data trusted and safe.
• Survivable Systems – Immutable system images and configurations. Prevents Master Boot Records (MBRs) and partition table attacks, like the Sony attack. With ZTS™systems survive and remain trusted.
• Defensible Tamper-Proof Evidence – Simplifies chain-of-custody for digital evidence since data cannot be changed by anyone. Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant, deliver original unalterable evidence in court.
• Safe Permanent Records Retention – Long-term preservation of digital records, documents, PDF, images, video, audio, audit records, legal documents, financial data, fraud prevention, backups, archives, video surveillance, law enforcement and intelligence collections and other files. Supports retention periods, destruction certificates, email notification and audit logging. An excellent replacement for phased out Optical Discs.
• Simplified and Inexpensive Compliance – Standard applications simply write data to ZTS™ for compliance with HIPAA, DCAA, NIST, FINRA, CJIS, SEC 17a, DOD 5015-2, Dodd-Frank, CapStone, California 2729 & Oregon 863-015-0260 real estate WORM records retention, EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
