NOVAM - Distributed Cybersecurity for IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) has grown by leaps and bounds in just a short amount of time. With the creation of everything from smartwatches to Internet connected washing machines, more and more appliances and electrical devices now connect in some shape or form to the Internet. These devices can do everything from boosting company's productivity, slashing overhead and reduce energy spending within a home. The possibilities are endless with what can be done and businesses are expected to find new ways to use IoT devices over time.

However, IoT devices may provide a backdoor into a corporate network for skilled hackers and cyber criminals. The weakest link defines the strength of network security and often times this weak link lies within an Internet of Things connected device. Understanding the impact of IoT on cybersecurity should prove essential for any enterprise, as while being hacked through a security breach in a light bulb may sound humorous, it is no laughing matter when confidential information and client financial documentation leaks through this hack.

Cyber attacks can disrupt and cause considerable financial and reputational damage to even the most resilient organisation. You stand to lose assets, reputation and business, and potentially face regulatory fines and litigation as well as the costs of remediation. Novam has created a security system for protecting global Internet of Things (IoT) devices in environments connected with connectivity, security, scalability and adaptability in mind. NOVAM operates on a bootloader level that connects IoT devices to the blockchain to ensure that the operating system and hardware are not interrupted. NOVAM not only finds anomalies but also fixes it to improve your technology-immune system, the Novam system will act without prior knowledge of threats, to monitor, identify, warn and start providing automatic immune system responses to delete, replace or quarantine threats.

NOVAM not only finds anomalies but also fixes it to improve your technology-immune system, the Novam system will act without prior knowledge of threats, to monitor, identify, warn and start providing automatic immune system responses to delete, replace or quarantine threats.

NOVAM is the first Artificial Intelligence cybersecurity program that uses DLT to improve the accuracy of its health check. NOVAM uses distributed ledger technology and AI to automatically monitor and mitigate IoT threats from secure boot chains, operating systems, cellular and network applications. NOVAM also provides integrated audit compliance and regulations for threat monitoring and detection services to ensure system events are included in distributed ledgers that cannot be changed.

NOVAM intends to target large industries by creating partnerships with security vendors, hardware and software for compliance and unchanging investigations, integrating ledgers distributed in IoT devices and corporate networks for monitoring and mitigation services through the inspection of our health systems that waiting for a patent decision.

NOVAM uses dispersed ledger technology and AI to automatically track and mitigate IoT threats from the boot string, operating system, mobile application, and network. NOVAM also provides auditing & regulatory compliance integration to threat detection and monitoring services to guarantee system events are contained within an immutable distributed ledger. NOVAM is the first Artificial Intelligence driven cybersecurity program using DLT to increase the accuracy of its health check. NOVAM not only finds anomalies but also fixes them to boost your tech-immunity system, and even eliminates risks without previous knowledge of current danger. Using machine learning and probabilistic mathematics, we plan to give a security system that’s ever-alert, always present and device agnostic. NOVAM was motivated by the human immune system to alter the way we think about cyber safety, in an agnostic, autonomous, self-detecting, self-healing strategy. NOVAM intention is to protect IoT apparatus in connected environments with connectivity, security, scalability, and interoperability in mind.

In essence NOVAM will monitor and reduce cyber threats Internet-of-Things (IoT) uses a combination of distributed ledger technology (DLT), artificial intelligence (AI) and system defense techniques.

NOVAM monitors whole networks, infrastructures and end points to establish seamless perspectives of global communications and dangers. NOVAM protects endpoints and networks by monitoring and mitigating risks automatically on the international Internet of Things (IoT) devices. NOVAM functions at the bootloader level linking IoT apparatus to the blockchain to ensure through the hash which the operating system and hardware are uncompromised. Using machine learning, probabilistic math, and additional techniques, NOVAM’s system will behave without previous knowledge of the threat, to track, individuality, alert and sometimes initiate an immune system reaction to mechanically remove, replace or quarantine the threat.

The Core Factors

A NOVAM token is used as a software license to record health checks, authenticate a chain of trust, and mitigate threats while allowing for forensic, regulatory compliance and auditing capabilities.

IoT Device Visibility

Using patent-pending technology, our software allows for unprecedented monitoring and security identification across all IoT devices and environments at any given time. Giving companies better visibility and flexibility.

Health Check

NOVAM’s health checks enable users, devices and applications to verify that software packages and hardware components are uncompromised and unmodified by malware or other cyberthreats, across the entire secure boot chain and run-time on a device.

How it Works

NOVAM is known to provide protection to endpoints and networks by monitoring and mitigating threats automatically on the global Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It also offers corporate risk management departments and security teams a forensic security investigation platform for auditing and compliance through Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

NOVAM’s mainly focuses on Hardware vendors, software vendors, and cybersecurity products.

The NOVAM Token is a utility software license that is known to provide access to network and platform for services that include monitoring and mitigating threats, auditing and regulatory compliance. NOVAM technology also allows for system health checks for the user, network and device authentication and verification purposes.

NOVAM makes use of distributed ledger technology along with AI to automatically monitor and mitigate IoT threats from the secure boot chain, mobile application, operating system, and network.

NOVAM is also known to provide auditing & regulatory compliance integration to threat monitoring and detection services in order to ensure system events which includes an immutable distributed ledger. NOVAM aims to become the standard distributed ledger for cybersecurity threat detection, device mitigation, and compliance.

The Novam's 5 Step Process Device Health Check is as Follows:

Initiate a health check for a device. This can occur both in the boot process and during run-time, and include the entire Chain of Trust or an individual statistic like firmware, operating system or applications.
The state of a device is recorded on an enterprise specific CDN. This can be used as an external element for future device health checks.
Subsequent health checks compare the internal and external state of a device with NOVAM stored internal and external states, signed by the vendor, to determine if the device is healthy or compromised.
When a device is considered healthy and unmodified no mitigation occurs.
If the device is considered unhealthy and compromised, based on the system health check, autonomous mitigation will occur.
