SPYRUS: Fostering the Convergence of Endpoint Security and Data Encryption

SPYRUS’ solution converges the notions of secure access, endpoint management, network awareness, and data encryption

The platform, with the SPYRUS NcryptNShare application, manages endpoint enabling enterprises to ensure access permission is limited to only qualified users. It also enables control or limit access to data within a shared environment. For instance, if someone is sharing multiple documents within a shared volume, access to each object can be set accessible to only the concerned person. In addition to that, one of the most powerful elements in the platform is the audit trail. It allows administrators to retrace the digital footprint of documents and endpoints that are accessed by individuals. The platform also houses what Grant Evans, the CEO of SPYRUS, describes as the “kill-pill” feature, which gives the ability to quarantine or isolate malicious, suspicious, or compromised endpoints.

These solutions perfectly align with the security needs of enterprises, government agencies and universities, especially at a time when the necessity to protect and limit access to their data is at its peak. The increasing number of hacking attempts and theft on intellectual property by malicious players from foreign countries and non-state actors has forced the department of federal acquisition regulations supplements (DFARS) to make changes in its rules and regulations. It has now become compulsory for universities to implement encryption solutions for protecting their data. Failing to adhere to the mandates would lead to the research grants—that amounts to over 60 billion dollars yearly—being withheld. In this regard, SPYRUS has helped Texas A&M University to be compliant with the DFARS rules by enabling them to deploy a secure data center, identity access system, and encryption managed by the SEMS platform.

Evidently, SPYRUS’ solutions are aimed at bringing holistic network awareness into various IoT devices, IT infrastructure, and inventory management across routers, switches, and POS. The company also delivers solutions to commercial customers due to their increasing demand for standard government solutions. Having carved their unique niches in the cybersecurity landscape, SPYRUS is currently expanding its reach by building the network partnering with multi-billion dollar distribution companies such as Sectigo and SYNNEX.
