Uncloak’s Blockchain tokens represent real-world value
By Emmanuel Marshall
Uncloak is an unprecedented community of cybersecurity specialists working together to protect organisations from data-breaches.
Uncloak is a DApp, a secure Blockchain cloud service, which is what makes it an evolutionary step forward for cybersecurity management.
In earlier blogs we talked about what Uncloak does and how it works; now let’s look at its value as an investment opportunity.
Why use Blockchain?
It’s an important question because although the IT world is excited about the new technology, a lot of people hear the word “Blockchain” and immediately think of Bitcoin, with its erratic market value and controversial history. But Bitcoin is only one of many diverse applications of Blockchain technology.
Blockchain is, in essence, a system to promote trust in collaborative work, and that makes it a very useful tool.
Uncloak uses Blockchain because it’s a robust platform for making decentralised systems and it’s baked-in token economy promotes collaboration.
“As the blockchain is in a perpetual state of replenish, the data entry points shift and this makes it considerably harder for cyber criminals to falsify access. Uncloak is the first blockchain service to detect cyber threats and put businesses and individuals at an advantage. It works on the EOS blockchain alongside AI technology which scrapes the global web to identify potential keyword driven cyber threats. Uncloak.io is at the forefront of a cultural data shift and is perfectly aligned to the need to both protect and evidence the data stream.” — Hugh Chambers, Cyber Security Advisor, Uncloak.

The Uncloak Blockchain ICO will create an investment opportunity and a token currency. But unlike most cryptocurrencies, the Uncloak tokens will represent real-world value, because they will be earned in exchange for actual work in the Uncloak network. Cybersecurity specialists, researchers and bug hunters who identify zero-hour threats will be rewarded with Uncloak tokens which can be exchanged for fiat currency or ETH.
Uncloak’s Blockchain generates utility tokens, which are inherently more valuable than most crypto because their value is supported by actual work, not just market speculation. Uncloak tokens will represent the research and innovation of cybersecurity specialists discovering and mitigating threats. With the rate of cyber-attacks growing explosively demand for better cybersecurity solutions has never been greater, so the value of Uncloak is based on a strong economic trend.
Building partnerships
The innovative potential and usefulness of Uncloak are quickly being recognised by investors and partners looking for a better way to handle cybersecurity.
Uncloak seeks global reach through a channel partner and B2C subscription model. Resellers are already signing on to distribute Uncloak; a clear indication of the company’s perceived value.
In 2017 Uncloak formed a strategic partnership with Adecco the world’s largest human resources firm.
Adecco recognises that company structures are changing which calls for a rethink of traditional ways of thinking about managing teams.
Adecco sees value in the disruptive potential of Uncloak’s Blockchain DApp model and wants to use it to provide cybersecurity consultancy to their clients.
Like Uncloak, Adecco understands that the way business is done globally will look very different five years from now, but people will always be central to commerce. Adecco is focussed on tailoring data security solutions for their clients that free them up to maximise the opportunities of the digital world while minimising the risks.
“Uncloak will be supported through relationships with big partners like Adecco who want to offer their customers an expert, unbiased approach to contemporary cybersecurity.” - Cybersecurity expert Nick Banks; Uncloak’s Commercial Director.

One clear challenge that has emerged with digital transformation is how to secure the data channels used in increasingly decentralised workplaces. Evolutionary changes in the way people use technology like BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) mean that doing business is more creative and efficient than ever before but with that comes a heightened risk of human-targeted cyber-attack.
Security: the real-world value of Uncloak
Business reports addressing cybersecurity like PwC’s CEO Survey and the WEF Global Risks Report show that cybercrime data breaches have the potential to wreak havoc on even very large companies.
Investigations by the Washington Post recently revealed that the hackers who attempted to seize control of the US power grid used simple, human-targeted techniques to get inside utility companies’ control systems.

“We are facing an urgent, evolving crisis in cyberspace… Our adversaries capabilities are outpacing our stove-piped defences to the point where virtual threats now pose an even bigger threat to national security than physical threats.”
- US Department of Homeland Security Chief Kirstjen Nielsen.
There’s little doubt amongst business leaders that cybersecurity is an urgent issue but there is less clarity around how to mitigate the threat.
Uncloak’s customisable, decentralised model addresses the most pressing problems in the current cybersecurity context, where zero-hour human-targeted attacks like phishing and malware are the biggest threat to data-security.
Cybersecurity results in real time
Uncloak offers premium cybersecurity protection to every business, regardless of size. The innovative Threat Bounty system built into Uncloak coordinates the work of researchers and security experts worldwide and puts that intel within reach of every user.
Instead of monitoring thousands of threat reports in a cumbersome centralised process, the Uncloak Blockchain will compare the reports of researchers automatically using its AI-powered peer-to-peer network.
Uncloak’s threat hunters come from ethical hacking, research and penetration testing backgrounds. Data contributed by researchers working in the Uncloak Blockchain platform is cross-checked and verified before being delivered to customers to ensure the highest possible standard of cybersecurity protection.
Uncloak creates an EOS powered Blockchain trust environment where verified threat hunters can collaboratively identify vulnerabilities and develop solutions in real time.
No business can afford to ignore the threat of cybercrime. Even small companies have contact lists and financial records that are valuable targets for attackers.

GDPR will cost unprepared companies big money
By Emmanuel Marshall

The EU GDPR guidelines stipulate that companies must “install appropriate technical and organisational safeguards that ensure the security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing.”
The GDPR regime is designed to protect the data privacy of EU citizens, but because the regulations seek to penalise any company that allows their data to be compromised, the reach of the GDPR is actually global.
The penalties for data compromise specified in GDPR are substantial. The authority has the power to levy fines up to €20 million or 4% of a company’s total annual revenue, whichever they deem to be higher.

“Data breaches are a serious problem for all companies and they often don’t think through just how valuable the data they have is and how easy it could be for cybercriminals to hack it. If cybersecurity isn’t your speciality, people mostly have no idea how serious the consequences of lax data security can be. GDPR has started to get people to think a little more. Companies that neglect to address cybersecurity post GDPR are gambling with some pretty high stakes because the penalties under GDPR are severe. They have the potential to literally put a company out of business.” — Hugh Chambers, Cyber Security Advisor, Uncloak.
GDPR compliance and preparation
GDPR is another potent incentive for companies to protect their data systems better. Many CEOs already recognise the damage that cybercrime and hacking can inflict, but the introduction of GDPR has helped to put cybersecurity at the top of the risk management agenda.

Data breaches caused by cyber-attack are a very serious problem.
A recent report published by APWG found that phishing attacks, the most common cause of damaging data breaches, have gone up 46% since 2017.
FBI cybercrime data shows that data breach attacks have increased by 2,370% since 2015 and the global cost is now in the billions of dollars.
To minimise their exposure to damaging breaches and avoid sanctions from the GDPR authorities, companies should start by ensuring they have proactive cybersecurity policies in place.
Passive virus detection software and basic firewalls aren’t adequate defences any more.

“The traditional view of an IT team running governance, policy and risk for a company, coupled with a penetration test once a year should be long gone. Threats emerge daily and even with good patch management and development practices, companies can get caught out.
“Having a commercial partner with a constant digital eye on your systems will be the future. An outside specialist monitoring security threats facing a specific company in real time.” — Phil Jackson, CTO, Uncloak.
Get serious about cybersecurity
GDPR demands the highest standards of data protection, so no company can afford to ignore the threat of cyber-attack.
Uncloak is a premium solution to zero-hour threats and a watershed for security management. Uncloak brings certified cybersecurity researchers and white-hat hackers together on a Blockchain based threat hunter platform to give companies up-to-the-minute protection.

Security, efficiency & transparency: Uncloak’s use of Blockchain
By Lena Bhogaita

How is Uncloak using Blockchain technology?
To answer that question, the first thing to say is, Uncloak is building a platform for cybersecurity research and protection. We are connecting cybersecurity experts and businesses who need better data security using a Blockchain-based network.
Now, let’s look at the way Uncloak uses Blockchain on a functional level.
The Blockchain system we’re creating removes intermediaries like brokers. To achieve economies of scale it’s important that security consultants
don’t need to be involved directly when end users install Uncloak.
We’re avoiding the administrative overhead of working with each IT reseller in each country who wishes to sell
our application.
We’re also eliminating the cost of running conventional bug bounty moderation.
With these Blockchain-enabled features, we can offer a lower service cost to Uncloak’s users.
We’re working with 100% digital assets, including:
end-user computer information,
channel partnership information,
security reports,
threat landscape reports,
& security remediation/fault resolution information.
Uncloak’s Blockchain creates a permanent, authoritative record of digital assets so data can’t be tampered with.
Uncloak clients will be able to identify changes in the security levels of their infrastructure over time.
Permanent record keeping in the Blockchain ensures that vulnerabilities detected by threat hunters (ethical hackers, researchers, etc.) are properly recorded in the crowd-sourced working environment. This system prevents double payments of bug bounties and prevents duplication of work.
Uncloak will not be implementing rapid (<millisecond) transactions. High-speed transactions are not required for our platform, even though they are available on the EOS blockchain. Data accuracy is of paramount importance, rather than speed.
We will not be storing large amounts of non-transactional data; only minimal high-level client inventory data which will be kept in an encrypted and obfuscated form.
Cybersecurity vulnerability and threat reporting information will be kept on the Blockchain.
Uncloak doesn’t rely on “trusted party” status. We’ll be working with non-trusted parties across the globe; security professionals (threat hunters) who wish to be paid for finding vulnerabilities. Some threat hunters may wish to remain anonymous for various reasons such as whistleblowing whilst working for a software vendor.

Uncloak’s Blockchain manages contractual relationships between client’s, channel partners, threat hunters, and the Uncloak crypto exchange. The Blockchain also regulates the movement of tokens throughout our ecosystem, using a smart contract mechanism, with no need for banks or third-party escrow arrangements.
Uncloak requires shared write access. Data will be written to the EOS blockchain globally by multiple participants; threat hunters, end users, and channel partners.
When a new vulnerability is recorded by two different parties simultaneously, the Blockchain will eliminate the possibility of double-entry, double payment issues.
Contributors to Uncloak don’t need to know or trust each other. Anonymity is to key to ensuring a successful bug bounty operation. It prevents collusion between threat hunters and validators.
Uncloak admins can take control of the system’s functionality in some instances, such as during channel partner registrations and the rolling out of IT reseller
relationships.
In certain cases, large-scale cybersecurity threats
will be made available to all vendors and subscribers manually if it’s considered to be in the public interest.
Public interest threat discoveries that potentially affect a large number of computers will be available on the blockchain to be read by third party vendors. This will give credence and credibility to Uncloak as being the first to
notify users about new threats, which in turn will create greater exposure for the business.

Lena Bhogaita is Uncloak’s Head of Operations.
A specialist in cyber-threat analytics and reporting, Lena is steering Uncloak’s product launch, communications and business operations.
Prior to joining Uncloak, Lena was Operations Manager for the workplace strategy team at Sky.

UK companies are being swamped with undetected crypto-jacking malware
By Emmanuel Marshall


30% of large UK companies were targeted by crypto-jacking cyber-attacks during one thirty day period, according to a recent survey.

That staggering figure is a new indicator of the way malware-based fraud is escalating. Typical businesspeople are not even aware that crypto-jacking is a threat to their IT infrastructure, and criminals are taking advantage of that lack of awareness.


What is crypto-jacking?

A malware based cyber-attack, crypto jacking is perpetrated using hidden software that’s delivered to victim’s computers via an infected email or website.

Once crypto-jacking malware is running on an infected computer, it siphons off a fraction of the machine’s processor power to “mine” cryptocurrency; virtual currencies such as Bitcoin.

Crypto-jacking malware is designed to avoid detection and operate in the background. Many users don’t notice the infection of their computer because the only visible symptom is a small reduction in processor speed.

The recent report on crypto-jacking in the UK found that infected companies are usually unaware of the threat. Cybercriminals continually update and mutate their virus attacks to avoid detection by conventional antivirus software.

According to the report, almost 60% of organisations surveyed had either been recently attacked or had discovered crypto-jacking malware in their machines at a prior time.
80% of reported infections had occurred within the six months leading up to the survey, suggesting that this type of malware attack is outstripping the ability of antivirus vendors to release protection updates.


Why is crypto-jacking so big?

Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market, in general, have created lucrative new opportunities for online crooks.

Cryptocurrencies can be generated in several different ways but some of the most valuable, like Bitcoin, must be created in a process known as “mining.”
To limit the number of Bitcoin that can be produced, the designers of the currency wrote an algorithm into its foundation software that requires miners to perform extremely complicated mathematical operations. Solving the mathematical problems that generate Bitcoin requires considerable time, even on powerful computers.

Criminals realised that rather than setting up their own computers to mine cryptocurrency, they could hijack other people’s machines using malware instead. A crypto-jacking operation will infect thousands of individual machines and then coordinate them to work together in a covert network.

 
Antivirus can’t keep up

Because hackers are devising new malware variants daily, the traditional model of using onboard antivirus software is failing.
Centralised antivirus services are only as good as their latest update.

There’s an inevitable lag-time between an antivirus vendor discovering a new malware strain, building a fix, and then distributing it to their clients.
Cybercriminals work fast, so if a company is relying on endpoint antivirus to protect their system, chances are the damage will be done before the patch is ready for them to download.


A better, faster solution

Speed is everything in the contemporary cybersecurity context.
Uncloak offers a faster solution to emerging malware threats like crypto-jacking by using a unique combination of Blockchain technology and AI.

Uncloak assembles an unprecedented worldwide network of cybersecurity experts to detect new threats before they impact victims.
