Product Description:

The Steganography Analyzer Real-Time Scanner (StegAlyzerRTS) is the first commercially available network security appliance in the world capable of detecting the fingerprints and signatures of digital steganography applications in real-time.

Steganography applications are widely available as freeware or shareware on the Internet and some are available as commercially licensed products. They represent a significant insider threat because they are easy to find, download, install, and use—many with the familiar “drag and drop” functionality available in most user applications.

StegAlyzerRTS detects insiders downloading or using digital steganography applications by comparing the file fingerprints, or hash values, to a database of fingerprints of files associated with steganography applications. Detecting a download is an early warning indicator that the insider will likely use the application to steal sensitive, proprietary, intellectual property, or trade secret information by hiding the information inside of another file and then posting the carrier file on a web site or e-mailing the carrier file to an external recipient.

StegAlyzerRTS also detects insider use of steganography applications downloaded and installed on the network prior to deployment of StegAlyzerRTS. Using an exclusive signature scanning approach developed in the Steganography Analysis and Research Center (SARC), StegAlyzerRTS detects insider attempts to upload carrier files containing hidden information onto external websites, send files containing hidden information as an e-mail attachment, and even detect use of a technique known as spam mimicry to conceal information by converting it into a form that appears to be spam.

Product highlights in StegAlyzerRTS:

• Detect file artifacts associated with digital steganography applications entering or leaving the network
• Detect signatures of steganography applications in carrier files entering or leaving the network
• Send real-time alerts to network security administrators
• Permit or deny entry or exit of suspect files from an enterprise network
• Retain copies of suspect files for further analysis

StegAlyzerRTS offers a convenient and trouble free “drop in” capability. It can be easily added to an existing suite of enterprise security appliances and tools and is totally transparent to the end user.
