3. Case Study
“…TJX announced the loss of more than 45
million credit and debit card numbers that were
stolen from its IT systems over an 18‐month
period …”
“…IPLocks, a compliance and database security
company, released a report in May 07 estimating

5. Needs for Anti‐Data Loss Protection
Demand for very High Speed Internet
Comply with Recently Adopted Legislations
Ex: The SB 1386 law requires anyone doing business in California to
notify anyone whose personal information has been obtained by an
unauthorized party.

6. Competitive Technologies
Detect Patterns
• Rebuild the transmitting file
• Comparison with the data base of protected files
Problem:
• Do not work at very high speed

7. Solutions
Pre‐Treatment:
• Data Base of “Imprints”
We Detect Imprints
Value Proposition:
• No need to rebuild the transmitting
files
• Works with all kinds of files
• Works at 10Gbit/s and more
