ACID Technologies
ACID Technologies renders state-of-
the-art cyber security services by
implementing an innovative proac-
tive approach. ACID provides a supplementary
layer of protection by initiating widespread
self-learning searches, in order to detect po-
tential threats and risks long before actual at-
tacks commence, as opposed to responding to
hostile action once it has taken place, after the
damage has already been done. A well-planned
response, carefully designed on the basis of all
available attack data, which is implemented in a
timely manner, can prevent data leakage, harm
to the organization’s business and reputation,
and the prospect of legal action by its affected
clients, significantly increasing users’ chances
of foiling attacks before they are launched, or
mitigating their consequences.
When developing ACID Intelligence and ACID
DIP, co-founders Yariv Maroely (CEO) and Nir
Shaked (CTO) built on the extensive knowledge
and experience of nearly 20 years that they had
acquired in the information security industry.
Their areas of expertise cover tailored infor-
mation security solution development for the
financial and other sectors, fraud prevention
and detection, forensics analysis and compre-
hensive information security consulting, among
others. Their qualifications also include CRISC,
CSSLP and CISSP certifications.
Real Time
Real-time detection enables clients receive
alerts instantly at the first hint of a threat, de-
tailing all available information. Continuous
monitoring ensures additional information is
reported as it becomes available. The early alert
and the detailed data concerning the threat
provide valuable additional response time and
support the planning and implementation of
threat-specific, effective countermeasures.
Comprehensive Coverage, Customized Intel-
ligence and Immediate Deployment
The services include continuous monitoring of
countless sources, including visible Internet
sites, social networks, IRC chats, Deep Web,
Dark Net and more Searches are based on cli-
ent-defined keywords that are automatically
translated into multiple languages, for the most
pinpointed, relevant and accurate results.
Solutions
ACID DIP - Digital Identity Protection
In recent years, the majority of governmental,
public and private sector organizations expand-
ed their digital presence beyond websites, to
social media. This expanded presence leaves
organizations exposed to more threats, on more
fronts. To effectively cope with the new chal-
lenge, ACID now offers the newly developed
DIP – an advanced Digital Identity Protection
service.
DIP complements ACID’s existing features and
enhances the level of protection by continu-
ously performing six actions: It monitors the
organization’s website to verify continuous
availability and detect defacement attacks as
soon as they occur; monitors the organization’s
presence on all social networks, to detect signs
of tampering; checks for similar or impostor
apps in all app stores; looks for phishing sites
and searches for domains similar to the orga-
nization’s domain; and performs a DNS check,
to verify that users wishing to surf the organiza-
tion’s website are not routed to a different IP
address. Alerts of any suspicious findings and
signs of tampering are immediately sent to the
client via email, text message or other means.
Acid Intelligence
ACID’s multiple designated robots perform com-
prehensive, optimized, round-the-clock website
monitoring of a large number of targeted sourc-
es, including social networks, criminal sites,
IRC chats, Deep Web, Dark Net and more. The
searches are conducted based on a virtually
unlimited number of client-defined keywords,
which are automatically translated into multiple
languages. These searches cover multiple iden-
tifiers that potentially place the organization at
risk, such as leaked user names & passwords,
E-mails, domain names, credit card data, cy-
ber operations, intellectual property, details of
key personnel and more. Alerts are displayed
in real-time on the smart, user-friendly ACID
dashboard, and are also automatically sent to
the client via e-mail, without delay. Any further
information is shared immediately.
Unique Benefits
The unique benefits of ACID Intelligence in-
clude real time cyber intelligence gathering us-
ing a fully automated system, which operates
24/7/365. Optimized searches are enhanced
as a result of customization, self-learning and
keywords that are automatically translated into
numerous languages. Real-time threat detec-
tion leads to immediate alerting, detailing data
prior to, during and after the attack. ACID in-
cludes an intuitive smart dashboard for easy
operation and alerting, as well as a secured
zone on the cloud. An additional benefit is cost
savings – achieving superior results with mini-
mal manpower.
