| Q. |
Why do I need
Cytlok? |
|
A. |
Currently, computer users connected to the Internet have, at best,
limited control over their own computers which are open to
intrusion ("hacked") without their knowledge or permission.
Individual users as well as businesses are equally susceptible to
unauthorized or illegal entries. Your data (e.g., financial, personal
or business information) can be read, altered or destroyed
accidentally, or by unscrupulous individuals. Until now, very little
real protection has existed for networked or Internet- connected
workstations or individual PCs.
Like
most large communities, the Internet has become a vast plethora of
cultural, educational and social activities. Information is accessible
and bountiful on every subject imaginable. Because of this seemingly
endless exposure to every nook and cranny of our society, not to
mention the ever-expanding technologies present, we, the connected, are
exposed to an ever-widening array of hazards. Cytlok protects your
entire system from boot sector viruses, Trojan programs, logic bombs,
Internet worms, macro viruses, and the occasionally unscrupulous
hacker who may extract your personal information, stalk your family
members, steal your financial information, or corrupt or remove
important or critical path business data.
E-mail
may contain executables with viruses or contain scripts, which can
gather your personal, financial or confidential information.
You
can buy an anti-virus program, pornography filters, a port scanner, an
E-mail filter, and a host of other personal firewall offerings and
protection devices. In most cases you'll be required to upgrade these
programs regularly to keep them effective. You can do all of these
things and still not be as protected as well as you are with Cytlok.
Cytlok's broad array of functionalities covers all the bases for you,
and you n ever need to upgrade.
Cytlok
is solid new technology, tested and proven. Cytlok protects your
workstation, laptop or connected PC completely.

| Q. |
How exposed am I to these
problems? |
|
A. |
If
your network or PC is connected, directly or indirectly to the
Internet, you are exposed. Rarely does a day pass when the media is
not addressing yet another hack attack, a new malicious virus or some
other adversity on the Internet. Without the proper protection, you
never know when your system has been compromised or if your data
has been violated.
Consider this:
Do you keep personal, confidential, critical
business or financial information on your computer? Do you maintain confidential information in your data
files? Do you purchase products or services via the Internet? Do you use IRC (chat rooms) or
E-mail to communicate? Will your anti-virus program stop viruses or
only repair their damage? Do your children use the Internet for education or
entertainment? Do you download software programs
or information files or pictures from the Internet? Can you control Internet service (Web,
E-mail, FTP, IRC, Telnet, etc.) use on your computer? What would it cost you to replace your
hard drive or the information in your files as well as new
software?
How would it affect you if
someone started using your identity, your confidential business or
personal information, or your financial credentials?
Did you know others can read your hard drive,
write to your files and folders, remove or delete data from your system
every time you are connected to the
Internet or any shared network system?
Did you know others could see every Web site
you've ever been to, including the time and date and what you
downloaded?
Did you know that others could do everything on
your computer that you can do, remotely and without your knowledge or
permission? |
| Q. |
How does Cytlok work? |
|
A. |
Cytlok operates from within the operating system. Nothing in your
system can boot up between your operating system and Cytlok. Cytlok
provides a unique advantage in the manipulation and management of the
folders and files, the most important system resources, by operating
at "Ring 0" (kernel level).
Cytlok is application-specific, which allows Cytlok to stop, manage
and control unknown, as well as
known hostile applets, malicious scripts, Trojan programs, logic
bombs, viruses, uninvited intrusions, hacks and other unauthorized
events.
Cytlok never requires costly and time-consuming upgrades to
remain current. Cytlok only upgrades to improve or add
functionalities, and to support new technologies.
Core
Security Controls: Prevents the reading of, writing to, deletion,
removal or execution of programs and files, without predefined
authorization, from servers and workstations with real-time security,
intrusion detection and system management.
Access
Controls: Restricts accesses to any unauthorized would-be users with
positive identity control. Password permission set on a file protects
access by unauthorized users. Unauthorized attempts activate a
violations dialog box and prompt for a correct password.
Encryption:
Allows encryption of a file so that its contents are unreadable and
unusable and can only be decrypted through Cytlok.
Private
Storage: Positively hides sensitive, mission-critical, confidential
business data, financial files, DLLs, databases, encryption keys,
server/firewall passwords and other critical data.
VirusX:
Protects hard drive boot sectors from known and viruses. Stops malicious viruses before damage
occurs.
Inheritance: Automatically
protects
the files in a folder when the folder is protected.
Critical
Backup: Creates a backup or duplicate file (specified) before it can be
opened for modification, thus securing original data.
Logs/Analysis:
Automatically logs all attempts to compromise (violate) the system and
identifies the IP address of an intruder, provides time/date stamp and notifies
the administrator.
Port
Denial: Allows browsing while blocking the user of specified ports, such
as E-mail, FTP, Telnet, IRC, etc. A truly Internet-based (not just
Web-based)
security/control feature. Contributes to workstation operator productivity. |
