Multicloud applications are in vogue for the multiple security features they come with.

Data captured from IoT devices, browsers, GPS, industrial equipment, connected automobiles, wearables, etc., needs to be converted to information. Big Data Analytics converts data into insightful information to help decision-making. Currently, due to the lack of infrastructure and DA professionals, the available data is not put to analysis and transformed into actionable information. Data is the new gold and analytics is the future of preventive maintenance, proactive decision making, and artificial intelligence.
Our major challenge has been to convince the market that an Indian product can perform on par with American and European products in the field of data protection and information security.
We design, develop, sell, implement and support products that are simple, effective, affordable, dependable, and scalable. That is what differentiates us from our competitors. BLACKbox is the only brand that has incorporated design thinking with a data owner's perspective unlike other brands with a data manager's perspective. BLACKbox is a cutting-edge solution that runs multiple functions in single hardware unlike other brands requiring multiple hardware to run multiple functions of data loss, leakage, and theft prevention solutions. BLACKbox runs many proprietary features like Autocratic Centralization, Vault-Workspace, Happy Hours, Screen-Captures, On-the-Fly-VPN, Email Shadowing, BCC-Intercept, and USB Usage Reporting which are missing in other brands and covers all possible devices like laptops, desktops, mobile, tablet while there are specific brands for the specific type of devices.
IoT / Big Data / AI / Robotics are the pillars of smart manufacturing and industry 4.0. With sensors, connecting devices and the big data world of analytics has seen a paradigm shift on how the data can be converted into insight information and actionable decisions. Big Data will be the most crucial component in the future with a view to artificial intelligence and machine learning.
BLACKbox, as the name suggests, keeps logs of every important digital activity. It provides data centralization by minimizing data dispersion. It preserves data against loss and prevents data theft. This technology is a self-service tool and does not require extensive technical capabilities. It is always at the rescue of the enterprise in event of accidental or intentional deletion of data, ransomware attack, and disaster to maintain business continuity. It is also an AI-enabled security guard for the enterprise to detect, nullify, and report any attempts of data theft through USB, Email Attachment, or Internet through a laptop, desktop, mobile, or tablet device. We have recently launched BLACKbox AAA (Access Applications Anywhere) which is a cost-effective and secured application virtualization software to help enterprises allow access to the ERP applications remotely.
