Intelligent Waves (IW),  a leading-edge trusted IT systems integrator that delivers high-impact transformational IT solutions to  Government’s most mission-critical challenges, is pleased to announce GRAYPATH & Phantom Solutions has been nominated to compete in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program.

Intelligent Waves supports the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and DoD agencies with leading-edge cybersecurity solutions.

The firm provides enterprise systems engineering, cloud computing and managed services, cyber and security architecture, mobility, operations, and intelligence analytics.

This year, Intelligent Waves has introduced several leading-edge disruptive cybersecurity innovations that garnered the attention of Homeland Security’s high-tech secure communications community.

SOLUTION 1: GRAYPATH (GP)

IW’s GP is the next generation of cybersecurity expeditionary communications.

It is a simple, asymmetric solution that ensures robust, reliable, secure, non-attributable global communication for Homeland Security and special operations of the U.S. military.

Through its patented IP Spread Spectrum technology, GP leverages the cloud to randomize and distribute message packets through the simultaneous use of multiple transport paths and encrypted channels.

GP algorithms optimize throughput by continuously sensing and adjusting the message flow according to channel availability and bandwidth capacity creating a smoother connection even for HD video transmissions.

GP dramatically lowers the risk of detection and interception and is nearly impervious to disruption.

Key Cybersecurity Attributes:

• GRAYPATH (GP) is the next generation of expeditionary communications.

• GRAYPATH allows access to a secure, shared data center without exposing or compromising a social network.

• GRAYPATH connects to a secure datacenter in a hostile environment with a high Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) presence without exposing TTP.

• GRAYPATH connects to a secure data center using host nation networks in an active foreign intelligence service environment.

• GRAYPATH guarantees the availability of the network and uptime because the user doesn’t control the network.

Solution 2: Phantom Next Generation

Phantom Next Generation was designed as a cybersecurity solution for Homeland Security and the Department of Defense to communicate through Obfuscated, Non-Attributable, Remote, Secure But Unclassified manner.

Phantom Next Generation provides the ability for organizations to access foreign points of presence to conduct remote open-source information gathering and research while at the same time protecting organizations and individuals from exposure to foreign intelligence.

Intelligent Waves has achieved this by combining the GRAYPATH software-defined obfuscated network with the managed attribution capability of the Phantom platform in a secure but unclassified package.

The system uses all the capability of the GRAYPATH network to provide low probability of detection, intercept, and exploitation of application traffic and obfuscate the user’s location while the Phantom platform matches the user’s digital signature with the intended point of presence.

The user’s true IP, location, and data usage are obfuscated while user-generated traffic is made to “originate” from a remote point of presence (PoP) or interface server. This effectively allows the internet researcher to “hide within the noise” of normal IP traffic.

Additionally, the unclassified but secure, cloud-based capability enables telework because it does not require access to a classified facility or network.

This allows government organizations to fully leverage an increasingly remote and globally distributed workforce.

Key Cybersecurity Attributes:

• Phantom enables “anonymous browsing” of remote internet services from any location.

• Phantom secures access and manages public network attribution.

• Phantom increases operational security while reducing risks to private networks and assets.

• Phantom provides isolation between local private networks and remote public internet services.
