Because this task is too big, too important to fly solo…

It takes 101 days on average for a breach to be detected in 2017. That's more than 3 months for threats to live on your premises before being discovered. And you still struggle to determine which security threats to follow up on with your limited and expensive resources.

What if you don't have to do this alone? Enter Uncloak.

At Uncloak, the team strives to deliver a Next Generation Cyber Security Threat Management system. One that is fully scalable, blockchain 3.0 powered, and enables businesses to monitor, protect themselves against and eliminate cyber threats. You'll always be one step ahead of the hacker.

You no longer have to try solving cyberattacks and spot zero days on your own. Instead, you're now on a team of verified cyber security experts (a.k.a Hunters) around the world that is constantly collaborating, innovating, and outsmarting cyber criminals.

After all, security is a team sport. When hackers are fast, you need to be faster. To do this, you'll need an open, proactive and cohesive system that defends and adapts to threats immediately and collectively - at machine speed.

Automated Bug Bounty

Uncloak's open integrated approach, dubbed "Automated Bug Bounty", provide a win-win situation for businesses and hunters to share threat intelligence and be rewarded. This reduces detection time and improve overall security at a fractional cost.

Here are some business goals supported by Uncloak:

Vulnerabilities are not allowed to be added to the platform without approval from a pool of verified hunters chosen at random
End to end visibility of vulnerabilities found and payments to hunters within the Uncloak platform occur automatically without intervention
Real-time analytics and automated reporting with a locked audit trail of everything
Tamper-proof vulnerability database
Securely sharing data with all parties
Reduce reporting process time and effort for vulnerability checks
Leaderboard system for all registered hunters/validators with bonus stars given to the most frequent contributors resulting higher in token payouts

Businesses can visit the Uncloak web portal to purchase ethical hacking testing service from a pool of verified hunters who have proven to be competent in validating and finding vulnerabilities via a scoring mechanism.

Businesses can also purchase UNC tokens directly on the platform backed by a smart contract which will give them a finite amount of time for the hunters to work on the application to be tested.

AI Cyber Threat Engine

Nowadays, threats are becoming more complex. Traditional human detection isn't always up to the job. This is why we need more human experts via Automated Bug Bounty, together with a more sophisticated AI-based detection engine that will autonomously detect and fight back against emerging cyber threats.

Uncloak will feature a private cloud based real-time cyber threat search engine powered by AI, taking unstructured text data and turning it into structured and legible actionable data used for reporting to businesses about the current cyber threat landscape.

This AI cyber threat detection engine will read streams of published text data from over 7,000 independent/forums/chatrooms/metadata/blogs per minute across the public internet and dark web, and tag it appropriately to build up a unique threat landscape report for identifying "Zero Hour" cyber threats, which will then be validated and exposed before they can be exploited.

By allowing an intuitive, automated and seamless reports of security checks, Uncloak is giving ordinary users the ability to understand, remediate and resolve cyber security issues without the need for any prior knowledge on technical cyber jargon. Businesses who use Uncloak will no longer require specialised, highly skilled labour, extensive setup time and could save significant costs.

Demo

The demo is live at https://demo.uncloak.io/

Currently, the source code is not open to the public. That might change in a week or two. You can always subscribe to their official communication channels to stay abreast of all the development work.

After you've login the demo site, you'll see a pretty looking dashboard where you can check progress of vulnerability scans and reports. The system should have done some profiling based on your login email domain, which automatically identify hosted websites, email servers, and other services that are on the public-facing network domain. This greatly reduces the security scanning setup time.

There are still more work to be done until end of 2018, but overall it gives a good impression on the team's capability.

With Uncloak, everything and everyone is working together everyday

By now you should realise, only by working together, can all of us become stronger and faster in detecting threats, reducing risk, and ensuring compliance. This is how a next generation cyber security solution should be - to protect, detect, and resolve threats intelligently, collaboratively and instantaneously.

Uncloak will be the world's first blockchain 3.0 powered cyber threat detection solution for multi region resiliency and geographically dispersed computing.

For a more detailed overview of Uncloak, you may read this article that I've written previously. Of course, you can always refer to the published whitepaper.
