Kinnami, based in Braintree, MA, announced on January 22 that it has been awarded a U.S. Air Force (USAF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract through AFWERX and the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to optimize its technology to enhance and protect the integrity of USAF data against growing data threats.
AmiShare enables organizations to
audit and control user access to data, securing data everywhere through the
meticulous dispersion of encrypted data. Data is broken into fragments,
encrypted, and distributed across a network of servers, devices and the Cloud.
Security systems worldwide create protective fences around servers, desktops or
mobile devices but ignore the potential for security breaches when data moves
between devices. AmiShare strictly audits access to data and secures data right
where it is created or stored ensuring that data is protected even as it moves.
Any attempt to break in requires access and individual decryption of all
encrypted fragments across multiple devices and locations.
According to Risk Based Security,
in the United States, in the first half of 2019 alone over 4,000 data
breaches exposed 4 billion records. The Government Accountability Office (GAO)
says that between 2006 and 2018, federal agency network security breaches grew
over 500%.
“We are thrilled to work with USAF on the development of our AmiShare platform to meet the USAF’s specific needs for sensitive information protection. AmiShare’s distributed data storage management, versioning, and auditing will help the Air Force better protect against data loss in the event of human error, intentional thefts, as well as ransomware attacks,” said Sujeesh Krishnan, CEO of Kinnami Software Corporation.
