Montana Patent of the Month – September 2024

Flying Cloud Technology has developed a cutting-edge data surveillance system designed to operate within zero-trust computer networks, offering a revolutionary approach to securing sensitive data. Their advanced system integrates seamlessly with network device policy management to provide real-time monitoring and protection for various data sources and devices connected to the network.

What makes this invention unique is its dual focus: while the network device policy manager controls access to devices through role-based access control (RBAC), the data policy manager focuses on safeguarding the data itself. By creating an evolving baseline of normal data behavior, the system continuously monitors data access and analyzes patterns to detect anomalies. Each data packet is evaluated against established behavior clusters, and if it deviates from the baseline, the system flags it as a potential threat.

This approach enhances the security of organizations that rely on sensitive data, ranging from intellectual property to cloud systems and IoT devices. The integration also includes self-service onboarding, health checks, and single sign-on (SSO) support, ensuring that network devices are secure and accessible to the right users only.

By employing machine learning to track and cluster data activity, Flying Cloud’s system can identify threats like insider risks, intellectual property theft, or data exfiltration attempts. If an anomaly is detected, the system takes immediate remedial action, such as blocking the offending user or device, and can even perform forensic analysis for further investigation.

In an era where cybersecurity threats are evolving, Flying Cloud Technology’s zero-trust solution ensures that not only are devices secure, but the data they manage remains fully protected, making it a powerful tool for enterprises across industries.
