Introduction: Decision Time, LLC (DT), an innovator in AI-centric cybersecurity systems, has developed a groundbreaking Zero Trust (ZT) system after years of intensive research and development. This advanced system, emerging from a prolonged "stealth mode," marks a significant shift in cybersecurity strategies.
- By addressing fundamental weaknesses at the core of operating systems, the patented Decision Time system redefines the approach to securing digital assets and data, eliminating the core vulnerabilities in operating systems that enable cyber-attacks.
DT has assembled a team of skilled professionals to implement the elements of its technologies and to deploy its systems in a wide variety of environments. This team has decades of experience in complex engineering management and in implementation of mission-critical systems in the most demanding circumstances and applications.
Core Innovation: At the heart of our innovation is the patented ZTOS (Zero Trust Operating System), a transformative development in file access control.
- Unlike traditional cybersecurity measures, ZTOS addresses a critical flaw in most computer systems: the inadequate control of operations on data after access has been granted.
- ZTOS redefines the operation of the most basic OS file access functionality, extending granular control over actions that can be taken on data by users through code execution.
- The failure of modern OS’s to provide post-access constraints on actions is the generations-old flaw exploited in the majority of cyberattacks, whether access is obtained legitimately or illicitly through privilege escalation.
By reengineering the operations of file system operations, ZTOS provides unique fine-grained control over the vast variety of interactions among users, data, and applications. and directly neutralizes the foundational defect present in all computer systems that has made most cyberattack possible.
Distinction from Existing Approaches: ZTOS represents a fundamental departure from the current "defense-in-depth" strategies prevalent in the cybersecurity domain. Current approaches, despite their extensive reach, fail to tackle the root cause of cyberattacks.
- This failure leads to a perpetual cycle of discovering vulnerabilities and applying urgent patches, a reactive model akin to a 'whack-a-mole' game.
- The current model, characterized by emergent vulnerabilities and "after the fact" patching, continues to fail in preventing breaches, even within highly secure systems.
In contrast, ZTOS proactively addresses these core weaknesses, providing an effective and sustainable solution to cybersecurity challenges.
Fulfilling the Zero Trust Promise: Our innovations with ZTOS are integral to realizing the full potential of the Zero Trust initiative. While the principles of Zero Trust are robust, they fall short without addressing intrinsic weaknesses in OS-level access control.
- By reengineering the fundamental elements of operating system operations, ZTOS actualizes the true intent of Zero Trust.
ZTOS, therefore, is not just an implementation of the Zero Trust approach; it is its fulfillment, offering a comprehensive solution to some of cybersecurity's most enduring challenges.
