CRYPTYK(DECENTRALIZED CLOUD SECURITY FOR ENTERPRISE)

CRYPTYK platform is a hybrid decentralized data processing architecture designed for secure, scalable management of online data storage, file sharing, document editing, user access, email, messaging and other cloud-based applications within businesses, enterprises, government organizations and for individual consumers. This decentralized technology designed by Cryptyk Inc utilizes CRYPTYK Tokens (or CTKs) to power an open source cyber-security platform benefitting all industries that are susceptible to cyber-security breaches including banking, finance, law, insurance, healthcare, transport, logistics, media, construction and government.

Cryptyk is building the world’s most complete cyber security and cloud storage platform. Instead of trying to prevent data security breaches, Cryptyk assumes hacks are inevitable and makes files effectively ‘safe to hack’. Cryptyk’s Hybrid Blockchain Technology integrates encrypted decentralized file storage with blockchain auditing and monitoring. This hybrid solution effectively mitigates against the five major threats to cloud security. It is the first complete cyber-security and cloud storage solution from a single vendor and dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of cyber-security for all enterprise.

This technology seeks to displace single source Cloud Storage Providers (CSPs), Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs), Cloud Security Gateways (CSGs), Storage Partitions, Anti-Virus Scanners, Threat Monitors and other security products. The CRYPTYK ecosystem manages security for data-at-rest (storage), data-in-motion (email / chat / payments) and datain-use (file editing / sharing / collaboration). The ecosystem is structured to provide scalable benefits and incentives for all participants to grow the security, integrity, financial competitiveness and performance of Cryptyk technology for the benefit of the CRYPTYK token or CTK value (and hence all its participants).

The five main security threats to enterprise networks:

External threats from remotely located syndicated hacker groups.
Viral threats from malicious software programs such as viruses, malware and ransomware.
Operational failure threats and denial of service attacks.
Internal threats from bad actors, disgruntled employees.
Surveillance intercept threats or man-in-the-middle attacks.

ECOSYSTEM

The CRYPTYK platform comprises of (A) a decentralized, multi-vendor cloud storage platform called VAULT for encrypted file storage and file sharing, (B) a decentralized blockchain platform called PASSPORT for immutable storage of all user access sessions and file transactions, (C) a decentralized database map for storage of file encryption keys, transaction data and audit logs, (D) a user control interface called COMMAND for managing file storage / sharing, security policies, user access and file permissions, and (E) a central security engine and backend called SENTRY for the integration of all platform components and the enforcement of security policies, user access controls, file settings, participant incentives and the Cryptyk Token ecosystem.

CRYPTYK PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE

Low cost cloud storage services for data-at-rest applications are a fundamental weakness for all conventional security solutions that are complex and expensive to deploy. Building a complete enterpriseclass security solution must also incorporate cloud storage as a fundamental building block to ensure an optimal security profile. The design philosophy that underpins the hybrid CRYPTYK architecture is based on optimizing specific characteristics of three different decentralized platforms to meet the varying multitude of critical performance requirements for both enterprise security and storage applications. Not every decentralized platform is ideal for every online application and it requires the integration of three different but complimentary platforms to meet the broad performance and usability demands for a complete enterprise-class security and storage solution. Cryptyk digital tokens or CTKs are an essential ingredient that powers the entire CRYPTYK platform architecture by:

Enabling the three different decentralized storage platforms (VAULT, PASSPORT and CODEBOOK) to operate with each other and provide multiple layers of security,
Allowing enterprise customers and individual users to purchase a complete range of security and storage services,
Providing incentives for enterprise customers to initially trial and deploy security and storage services,
Providing incentives for open source developers and alliance partners to support the CTK ecosystem by developing an expanding range of compatible API and plug-in products, and
Providing incentives for ecosystem participants and crypto-currency miners to preferentially process CTK Proof of Security (Ps) calculations that powers the private blockchain platform PASSPORT.

The CRYPTYK solution does not attempt to disrupt the existing cloud storage market by displacing large entrenched players that already provide reliable storage services at very low commodity level prices. Instead it combines a more secure decentralized multi-cloud storage platform (that leverages existing storage services from major cloud providers) with two decentralized blockchain security platforms that verify, record and manage user access and file sharing for individuals and enterprises. Consequently, the CRYPTYK solution disrupts the much larger enterprise security market by providing a more secure and cost-effective product bundle that includes both enterprise security and cloud storage services. Nonetheless the CRYPTYK solution offers a cost competitive solution for cloud storage alone.
