Virtual Fence a Geospatial Intelligence to Protect Enterprise
Server Data.
Abstract
Data sharing and access are capabilities businesses and organizations require the most these
days. Remote working and mobile access to resources and collaboration platforms made it
easier to access data and resources from anywhere, anytime. Employees want to access
documents and email from different devices, and from various locations at a time. Access from
untrusted networks is always a threat to businesses. This might result in data loss and
overexposure of critical data. To mitigate the deficiencies of logical security mechanisms,
and coinciding with the trend of cyber-physical systems, security mechanisms have been
proposed that integrate with the physical environment. To ensure that business’s data and
resources are safe. In this project we propose an innovative Virtual Fence that uses a
location data and geospatial intelligence. Geospatial data analysis enhances understanding,
insight, decision-making, and prediction. Location intelligence (LI) is achieved via
visualization and analysis of geospatial data. Then we improve the security of data access in
Data Server for a company or any other specific locations using the location-based
cryptosystem. Virtual Fence provides a means to secure sensitive information within an
organization. It can be set to Off, On, Restricted View or Read Only. Once a geo-fenced
boundary is defined, the opportunities what businesses can do is limited by only their
creativity. The main benefit of setting up such a geo fence is in avoiding data leakage. Once
defined the trusted network locations, no one can access data from a different network
location/device. The experiment shows that our scheme is feasible in practical applications.
