Securing valuable confidential information and checking on cyber threats for organizations through its award-winning “patented” appliances: SnoopWall

"The single biggest existential threat that’s out there, I think, is cyber,” as said by Michael Mullen bears testimony in the current period. In the modern world, everything is directly or remotely connected with technology and as such has the outmost tendency to fall prey to cyber threat or crime. The year 2016 marked the year of hackers, and it is believed that the year 2017 will see hackers and internet aggressors evoking innovative devices for greater attacks on nation’s security, companies’ secret databases, organization’s sacred documents, etc.

To mitigate cyber-based crimes and threats, a company named SnoopWall was founded in the year 2013, and is renowned as the world’s first breach prevention security company. It aims at delivering a suite of network, mobile and app security products for its customers to shield from prying eyes and new threats with its patented ‘counterveillance’ technology. It mainly undertakes work like providing real-time defense mechanism against the latest cyber-attack methodologies that includes- zero-hours, phishing attacks, crypto and ransomware attacks.

Aerial view of the company

Headquartered in United States, the foundation of SnoopWall was based on averting breaches on intranets, i.e., prevent outsiders from accessing customers’ data, applications, services, networks, and/or devices that is mainly operated by bypassing the security mechanisms. Since almost whole of the population is dependent on smart phones, and finds it quite easy to use applications in it, they unknowingly falls victim to malware and disrupted software. SnoopWall has also proposed to protect mobile devices with its own mobile-based application. It prioritizes filling the intranet vulnerability gap by enabling IT professionals to regain control of their networks via effective policy management or enforcement. “We’ve focused on enabling developers to improve the security of their mobile products with our AppSHIELD SDK (Software developers’ kit),” explained Gary Miliefsky, the CEO of SnoopWall. 

A company’s main agenda is to understand the demand of its customers and bestow with the best services to maximize the production of the customers. SnoopWall’s agenda is not any different from this, as it keeps a track of its daily activities it works on improving its performance by implementing new technologies and simplifying design and user interface while adding new features such as its patent-pending malware precognition and cyber insurance protection.

Concerned with the unequal ratio between growing mobile devices and consumers’ less concerned with their privacy, SnoopWall was forced to shift its strategy from focusing on building a consumer application to building security shields for the consumers. “We’ve expanded our company and product offerings by staying focused on the needs of the small to medium size enterprise (SME) marketplace,” briefed Gary Miliefsky.

The first step!

SnoopWall rolled out its first product NetSHIELD, a patented scalable solution to prevent breaching inside intranets, and allowing its users “to control network access” and “detect, alert, block accidental, unintended, malicious access and data exfiltration.”

SnoopWall’s first bearing was a hit in the market and has been protecting networks for years without failure. What has helped in NetSHIELD’s growth is its maneuver in providing critical intranet security that even firewalls and anti-virus are not designed to address the security issues. Some of NetSHIELD’s earlier customers include government agencies, banks, law firms, insurance companies, and credit union. SnoopWall has been expanding NetSHIELD throughout the world via its most trusted infosec channel partners.

Road ahead

In the past, cyber crimes were mainly committed by few individuals or small groups, but with the enhancement of technologies, they have outgrown in numbers, and today there are highly complex cybercriminals who have mastered in data theft and ransomware. “We’re reshaping intranet and mobile security by going on the offensive and getting ahead of the breaches,” said Gary Miliefsky explaining how SnoopWall and its team have been contributing in reducing cyber-related issues on the global platform.

Beyond the horizon, SnoopWall is going to roll out two more products: MobileSHIELD and WinSHIELD as BYOD agent software add-ons for its customers of NetSHIELD. SnoopWall aims at delivering actionable intelligence including vulnerability assessments, patch managements and compliance reporting. Gary Miliefsky has at last, stated that he wants the company and its teams in achieving milestones by solving the breach security risks, and mobile security risks of any small to medium size companies throughout the globe.
