Digital Information Technologies Corporation (DIT) has announced SentinelARGUS, a new product designed to strengthen data protection in the AI era. The product uses whitelist-based access control to restrict unauthorised reading and modification, helping prevent unauthorised data leakage.
Digital Information Technologies Corporation announced the launch of sales of SentinelARGUS, a data protection system designed to strengthen protection against cyberattacks in the AI era. As unauthorised access resulting from the misuse of generative AI increases, the system introduces new features based on protecting data after an intrusion.
SentinelARGUS uses whitelist-based access control, allowing only authorised users and processes to read or modify data. This is intended to deter unauthorised access to data encryption, tampering and deletion, thereby reducing the risk of information leakage.
Key features include data immutability and improved operational efficiency. Unauthorised reading, writing and deletion of targeted files and directories are blocked directly at the OS driver layer. The system also protects backups and is configured to prevent data tampering even if an attacker obtains administrator privileges.
The system uses two separate components, monitoring software (Agent) and management software (Manager), to reduce the risk of unauthorised changes to protection settings and service disruption. Protected files and folders can be configured intuitively from the management screen, without requiring updates to complex definition files.
However, because SentinelARGUS controls data access at the OS driver layer, it has limitations in preventing initial intrusion at the network perimeter and in countering the misuse of legitimate processes. It is therefore intended to be used together with other perimeter defences and identity management measures.
