ZIOS CORPORATION — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: J201-CSO1

Description

Organizations across the United States are having difficulty responding to internal events of sexual assault and external events of domestic violence. From the victims’ perspective, trust and safety is a primary concern and the environment of the current systems often leads to such crimes being unreported, unintentionally escalated beyond their control, or worse: no action being taken at all.  There is a much-needed solution that allows victims to get the resources they need, when they need it, while empowering them to have control of their situation by anonymously sharing their story with the people that can help them the most. Using cryptographic security found in basic distributed ledger technology (DLT) and our granted US cyber patents, we are allowing victims to securely and transparently store their confidential documents and story, in one place, and in an acceptable format for collaboration with organizations and service providers. The secure nature of DLT allows us to provide the victim with guaranteed control over who can have access to their data at every step of their unique journey to closure. Victims choose from our network of vetted service providers to create private permissioned-access teams. The platform walks them through a holistic plan and whether to report or not, where the victim has 100% control over the communication process. Only the victim can decide the conditions of how their personal data is shared, as their team executes a holistic plan to enable them to become survivors and get the justice they deserve.  Our technology is dynamically adaptive to its environment, interoperates with other systems, and destroys itself when finished processing. Our commercial offering is a secure cybersecurity as a service platform. Our patented technology automates the creation of our platform's components synthesized with dynamic interoperability and capable of adaptive proactive cybersecurity on demand in the cloud. This adaptive system uses ephemeral virtual machine architecture to create DLT systems when needed and can destroy itself to remove all traces of data from processes when completed or necessary. Software dynamically synthesized on the cloud adds a layer of cybersecurity to endpoints as they will not statically persist in one digital location. Dynamic interoperability insures super secure middleware and secure endpoint transactions. "One cannot hack what does not exist". Ephemeral systems combined with DLT provides the security and trust that is needed to help victims get the justice they deserve. Our patented technology is a proactive cybersecurity solution as opposed to competitors' reactive cybersecurity approaches which are taken after the breach occurs.  We propose a novel secure communication methodology for the military to use in sexual assault reporting.
