We can protect your online research… and mission.
Without managed attribution, websites collect data about you, including:
- Internet provider and location
- Specific software, timezone, & language settings
- Search queries and page visits
These details can uniquely identify you or your organization, enabling targeted attacks and denied access.
Managed attribution can obfuscate your activity and protect your mission.
Your Network Location
Your Device Configuration
What your browser and connection reveal
Your web browser and internet connection disclose a surprising amount of detail by default, including:
- IP Address: Identifies your potential organization or location, and purpose of the network connection
- Operating System: Reveals the type of device and its vulnerabilities.
- Browser Type and Version: Provides clues about your device’s security posture.
- Localized settings: Insight into your language, keyboard, and other configurations that may be unique.
- Device Information: Details about your hardware and software.
Although individual attributes may be common, combining many of them creates a unique fingerprint that can identify you or your organization.
The risk to you and your mission
Adversaries can exploit information over time, assembling data points to gain valuable insights into your organization’s interests, intents and gaps. This can lead to targeted attacks, denial of access and compromised collections or missions.
One user’s browsing habits can impact others in an organization, leading to the aggregation of otherwise unrelated interests. When multiple users’ activities are linked, adversaries can infer the organization’s intentions, strategies, and gaps from the collective data. This interconnected exposure raises the risk for the entire organization.
Using a virtual machine or cloud-based desktop (VDI) environment is also risky. While it may appear to offer obfuscation, it doesn’t prevent data aggregation and lacks the diverse, in-region access needed to bypass increasingly common geographic website blocks.
How can you prevent this? Managed attribution solutions can obfuscate your web browsing while provide rapid access to websites and data of interest.
The solution: Silo for Research
The Silo for Research managed attribution service ensures browsing activities remain anonymous and secure, preventing adversaries from piecing together critical data.
