Cooperative Cyber Security™
For tamper-proof data protection
The Cooperative Cyber Security (CCS) platform underlies all of nsKnox’s products and services with a unique framework that guarantees the most powerful data protection available today
Absolute data protection is ensured by mathematically shredding sensitive data into many pieces that are rendered meaningless once shredded. Then, these pieces are scattered across multiple systems, networks, and organizations known as “Knoxers,” who cooperate on storing and protecting these shreds.
A breach of any one Knoxer bears no impact on data security, as the hacker must get hold of all the pieces to gain access to the original data file.
Each shred, representing one small piece taken from a big data “puzzle,” is meaningless to the hosting Knoxer organization. This is because through the shredding process no one entity can ever “know” what data is contained in the original complete file, thus ensuring uncompromising data privacy.
This also means that fraudsters cannot manipulate the data which is stored on the CCS platform, since they would have to access and modify all the shreds across every heavily-secured Knoxer simultaneously – which is virtually impossible, even for the most sophisticated cybercriminals.
If there is an attempt to modify any shred kept on the CCS platform, this modification will result in a mismatch between the tampered data and the original shred kept by the Knoxer, which CCS immediately detects, sending an alert to relevant stakeholders.
Standard encryption stores protected data in one location — if that location is breached, the data can potentially be exposed or decrypted. CCS eliminates this single point of failure:
Cooperative Cyber Security™ (CCS) is nsKnox’s patented core technology that underlies all of its products. It protects sensitive payment data by:
This makes nsKnox’s data storage fundamentally different from and more secure than conventional encryption.
Yes. The mathematical shredding and distribution method used by CCS is resistant to quantum computing attacks, which are capable of breaking conventional encryption algorithms.
Any modification to a single data fragment creates a mismatch with the other Knoxers. CCS detects this immediately and sends real-time alerts to relevant stakeholders — stopping any fraudulent action before it can proceed.
Example: An attacker compromises one Knoxer and alters a data fragment. The moment that fragment no longer matches the others, CCS flags the tampering. The data remains intact, and the attack is neutralized.
