2019: Patent

The Moscow company ANKAD received in July 2019 a patent for an invention - a system for protecting an automated workplace from unauthorized access. It includes a computer with a trusted boot module providing continuous authentication, thanks to the user's facial recognition means and developed software.

The system constantly compares the data of users working on computers with the database of persons with authorized access to jobs and prevents the misuse of technology.

ANKAD Company is a resident of the Technopolice Moscow special economic zone, providing the city with 118 jobs. Thanks to state support, SEZ residents are subject to preferential taxation and reduce a number of other mandatory payments. Instead, the city receives investments, high rates of economic growth and progressive inventions. Domestic developments in the field of modern information protection tools for automated information systems are very important for companies and state structures, allowing us to abandon foreign analogues, "said Alexander Prokhorov, head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of Moscow.

The access differentiation system from "ANKAD" implements two computer locking modes in the form of idle pauses. The first mode: if the user is briefly absent from the workplace, a partial lock occurs, followed by automatic unlocking, when the user's face image appears within a specified period of time. Second mode: If the user does not exist longer than the specified period, full authentication is repeated or the computer is prohibited from continuing to function.

The official name of the invention is "System, method and device for continuous user authentication and protection of resources of the automated workplace from unauthorized access."

2017

Kaspersky Lab and Ankad agreed in the summer of 2017 on technological cooperation - its goal will be to create a trusted software and hardware complex to ensure the information security of corporate networks. The solution will be based on a new version of the already well-known product of ANKAD KRYPTON-ZAK and a platform to ensure the protection of various information systems with increased requirements for cyber "Kaspersky Security System.

Hardware and software solutions of ANKAD Company allow to distinguish and control access of users to working machines of corporate network. This approach allows you to identify the user before starting the OS of the computer, protects against unauthorized boot of the operating system, and monitors the integrity of the software environment in any OS.

In turn, the Kaspersky Security System platform allows you to monitor the interaction of software components within the information system based on the previously described security properties and rules of this interaction, as well as record and block deviations caused by internal errors or unauthorized access attempts. Thus, the basic principle of the decision is the rule "everything that is not allowed is prohibited." This approach eliminates malware penetration and any adverse effects of malicious activities.
