stegascope
Network steganography is the world's most sophisticated form of data theft
stegascope is the answer
Read on to learn more about what experts at Stanford University, MIT, Symantec, IEEE, and others are saying about the threat posed by advanced steganography
"Encryption changes the form of a message, but steganography makes the message seem to disappear"

This network steganography article was published in MIT Technology Review. The article warns that covert exfiltration is on the rise and security researchers are behind the curve.

Symantec Corporation [NASDAQ:SYMC] is a leading end point security company. The Symantec Internet Security Threat Report describes how DNS can be targeted.
Our stegascope probes address Step 4 in the above attack. Click the image above then go to Page 28 to see the scenario.
IEEE published this article about researchers from Warsaw University and the National Research Council of Italy. The researchers discuss how hard covert channels are to detect.
Resistance to detection is why a stegascope is vital. Click the image above to read why cybersecurity experts are so concerned.
The root of the word steganography (στεγαυόϛ͵γράϼ-ειν) is derived from the Greek word steganos (meaning covered or secret), and the suffix is derived from the word graphein which means writing. Used together, the combined elements describe hidden communication embedded within normal-looking information.
Network steganography is one of the newest ways data thieves use to steal private data. A rougue employee or contractor can hide stolen data inside normal network traffic. The theft is difficult to detect in real time or after the fact because the method is so advanced, it leaves no forensic trail for investigators to follow.
Stanford University researchers are exploring ways to advance the field, but they have discovered innovations can be leveraged by hackers too. Their research findings indicate data hiding using neural networks is so advanced, it can "... stymie an adversary’s ability to detect a hidden message."
Traditional network security works like a one-way fire door in a store. No one can get in, but nothing stops those already inside from opening the fire door and walking out with valuables. When you use traditional methods in tandom with a stegascope, those virtual doors can be locked in both directions.
There are established techniques (such as firewall penetration testing) that reveal holes hackers can use to break into enterprise networks. The number of defensive products available is growing, so enterprises have a wide range of options to improve infiltration protection for their networks.
Unfortunately, testing to determine exfiltration prevention is still evolving. While that evolution continues, your existing data is at risk. Using a stegascope, enterprises can test their network borders to determine how good their security defenses are at keeping valuable data within the network boundary.
Problem 1
Your most experienced in-house security experts are unsure how vulnerable you are to network steganography attacks because you have never performed exfiltration testing.
Solution
Deploy our patented (United States Patent 9626522B1) stegascope software/hardware probes to train cybersecurity staff and to harden your network BEFORE hackers attack.
Benefits
Prove the strength of your data theft defenses to IT auditors and ensure your security meets GLBA and UDAAP compliance requirements for keeping your customer and proprietary data safe.
Problem 2
A disgruntled employee has stolen thousands of customer credit card numbers, but your security experts need steganographic tools to reproduce the attack for federal investigators.
Solution
Empower your security staff with a stegascope probe during an incident, so they can identify attack vectors without incurring the long term cost of ownership.
Benefits
Instead of exotic theories, provide prosecutors with hard evidence to show how the hacker executed the attack: then FexEx the stegascope probe back to us when the crisis is over.
Problem 3
Your security experts cannot determine how a database consultant was able to steal gigabytes of customer data without leaving any forensic evidence for investigators.
Solution
Partner with our Ph.D. level network steganography engineers to deploy a stegascope probe to identify nearly invisible holes in your network steganographic defenses.
Benefits
You can leverage our expertise to perform deep diagnostics or even develop custom preventative solutions that will result in stronger exfiltration defenses.
SCyIENCE is a network security software engineering company that provides state-of-the-art network steganography consulting services and testing devices (see About Network Steganography above). We represent the nexus between science and cybersecurity. Our network steganography probes use highly sophisticated and patented algorithms to determine how well your network firewalls and security appliances keep critical data safe from attackers. Once vulnerabilities are identified, you can leverage our development services to create custom preventative solutions.
A stegascope is a newly patented (United States Patent 9626522B1) probe that tests how well your network security devices prevent data theft. The stegascope uses the most advanced data hiding technology, so SCyIENCE clients can push their data protection systems to the limit: before hackers do. Whether you choose to purchase a stegascope, lease a stegascope, or engage a doctoral-level consultant for an exfiltration assessment your organization will be one step ahead of data thieves.
Any organization that must protect sensitive data such as customer passwords, credit card numbers, personally identifiable information, or confidential employee data.
