Electronically stored information is possibly the most important asset an organization has. Yet since the dawn of the digital age, technology has failed to invent a simple and elegant solution to prove that the stored information has not been hacked, faked or modified in any way. Reliance on procedure addresses the symptoms not the cause.
What if we told you that GuardTime had invented an algorithm that can prove the creation time and location of electronic data and that not a single bit has changed since that point in time – solely through mathematics? What if we told you that this algorithm could be implemented in software, removing the need for expensive dedicated hardware, allowing the world’s data to come with proof at an unimaginable scale and at a huge cost reduction relative to previous hardware-based solutions? And, what if we told you, for all the world’s data – the 10 million emails, the 100 million documents, the 1 billion system events generated every second – that the proof for would rely only on a single number. You would probably think we were crazy right ?
Think again.
