CyberSweep™

An end-to-end cyber security solution for acquiring Actionable Information from dynamic signal source selection  

As Cyber Crime and Cyber Terrorism pose increasing threats to economic activity and public infrastructure, Cyber Security organizations including Law Enforcement and Cyber Enforcement need to reach into the flood of information and monitor a threatening target on-demand.  The surging growth of data traffic and rapid adoption of new media and applications elevate the challenge to effectively and efficiently manage the flood of data on today’s networks and exacerbate the process of extracting and delivering Actionable Information.

Glimmerglass CyberSweep™ is a platform for selecting an optical signal from the telecommunications network and extracting Actionable Information including the identification and monitoring of a named target. The full CyberSweep provides a powerful, scalable solution for end-to-end management of the actionable information. CyberSweep consists of three main stages: Select, Extract, and Monitor.

Select – Dynamically acquire, select and distribute optical signals

The CyberSweep Selection stage applies the unique capabilities of the Intelligent Optical System to acquire specific wavelengths from among many and distribute them for analysis and storage. The CyberSweep Selection stage acquires, distributes and/or multicasts optical signals to any known destination. The process is fully transparent. Every port of the optical system supports any protocol, format, and data rate, current and future.

Extract –Process optical signals, decipher the signal source, prepare the data

The CyberSweep Extraction stage processes optical signals, extracts the data source format, and aggregates the data for the applications probes. The Extraction system significantly increases the efficiency of analysis equipment and prevents over-burdening, thereby eliminating the possibility of missing critical information.

Monitor – Transform data to actionable information

The CyberSweep Monitoring stage coordinates the application probes that collect, filter, correlate, and report targeted and general results to a Monitoring Center. General monitoring delivers insights on general network user patterns based on metadata while target monitoring delivers in-depth information and behavioural analysis focused on specific targets. The actionable information used for the analysis can be recorded for re-analysis at a later date or for long term storage as required by law.
