Intergraph, UPONUS Technologies Partner to Broaden Security Offerings.Incident Response Solutions Enhanced with Encryption and Lossless Data Compression Lossless data compression is a class of data compression algorithms that allows the exact original data to be reconstructed from the compressed data. This can be contrasted to lossy data compression, which does not allow the exact original data to be reconstructed from the Capabilities HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Intergraph Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : INGR) today announced a Strategic Partnership Agreement with UPONUS Technologies, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , a Chicago-based technology company specializing in lossless data compression and encryption. This partnership will enable public safety, military, intelligence, and homeland security Noun 1. Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Department of Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States agencies as well as other security organizations in the private and public sector to benefit from Intergraph's incident detection, assessment and response technologies enhanced with UPONUS' patent-pending encryption capabilities. UPONUS' technology simultaneously encrypts and compresses data streams for remote operations (sensors, UAVs, satellites, banking, sending instructions, etc.). This enables organizations to make the transaction of data more efficient while maintaining data confidentiality. The technology will be incorporated into cybersecurity, intelligence, video and remote operation services utilized by the government. The solution resulting from the combination of Intergraph and UPONUS technologies performs lossless compression A compression technique that decompresses data back to its original form without any loss. The decompressed file and the original are identical. All compression methods used to compress text, databases and other business data are lossless. of large amounts of data, video, videoconferencing, large batch files and imagery and simultaneously encrypts for secure transmission in a near real-time process. This technology-combined process reduces the requirement for separate devices, additional power requirements and provides a significant reduction in bandwidth usage and requirements. The technology functions with any type of input thereby promoting interoperability and information sharing See data conferencing. . Unlike some encryption and compression techniques, this technology works on any type of data. For example short burst of data from remote temperature and vibration sensors are handled as easily as huge continuous data streams from video and satellite image sensors. "Intergraph is committed to providing our public safety, emergency response, security and intelligence agency customers with a robust portfolio of solutions to meet the evolving need for data and information," said Ben Eazzetta, president, Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure. "By offering UPONUS' encryption tools as part of our security solutions offerings we are able to provide our customers with additional tools for our comprehensive security suite. Leveraging our combined technologies and industry expertise, Intergraph continues to expand our foundational security solutions for organizations responsible for the protection of mission critical communications and data." "We are excited to be working with Intergraph. As a world leader in incident detection, assessment and response technologies, Intergraph is precisely the kind of partner we have sought to bring this critical technology to market," said Larry Tropp, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of UPONUS. "The ability to encrypt and de-encrypt communications on-the-fly with virtually no latency and very little overhead utilization means that our data security applications can become standard element of every communications system In telecommunication, a communications system is a collection of individual communications networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and data terminal equipment (DTE) usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole. ."
