Business-critical data lives outside of email and web monitoring

    • Financial models in Excel transmitted to cloud storage
    • Client contracts in Word syncing to unauthorised endpoints
    • CRM data (Salesforce, Dynamics) flowing via application APIs
    • HR systems transmitting payroll and personnel records
    • Design files (CAD, engineering software) uploading intellectual property
    • Custom internal applications with zero monitoring visibility

Your current stack has a blind spot

Every tool in your stack monitors different layers independently—none correlate which application process is sending data to which destination IP address.

DLP

Monitors email content and web gateway uploads. Operates entirely outside desktop application data flows—no visibility when Salesforce syncs CRM data, Excel saves to OneDrive, or custom applications transmit to vendor APIs.

EDR/EPP

Protects devices from malware execution. Once an endpoint is compromised, EDR focuses on threat detection—not preventing data transmission from authorised applications being abused.

Network Firewall

Monitors IP traffic (OSI Layer 3), but can't identify which application is transmitting. When Word uploads to Microsoft infrastructure, the firewall sees "traffic to Microsoft IP". It permits it — unable to detect if the application is being abused.

Application Firewall

Inspects protocol compliance, but doesn't correlate source application (OSI Layer 7) to destination. Attacker exfiltration via HTTPS looks identical to legitimate application traffic.

Without correlating application Process ID to vendor-related destination IP address, you can't distinguish legitimate application behaviour from data theft during an active breach.

If your perimeter is compromised, application data walks out undetected.

Prevent application data theft with Process-to-Destination correlation

Your current security stack operates in silos. ZORB bridges this gap by operating simultaneously at OSI Layer 3 (network) and Layer 7 (application)—linking application process ID directly to destination IP address.

This correlation answers the question your current stack cannot: "Which application just transmitted data, and where did it actually go?"

Every outbound transmission must pass ZORB's 3-Point validation check:

Step 1: Source Application VerificationIs this specific application process authorised to transmit data? Validated against curated safelist of approved business applications.

Step 2: Destination Infrastructure Correlation(The Critical Differentiator)We verify the destination IP address belongs to the legitimate vendor's infrastructure using Autonomous System Number (ASN) validation—actual network ownership, not DNS responses that can be poisoned.

Step 3: Transmission Method ControlCommunication method validated against security policy: approved ports, protocols, VPN requirements, geographic restrictions.

If any validation fails—wrong application, wrong destination, wrong method—transmission blocked INSTANTLY before it leaves the device.

Why this matters

Data theft can be eliminate when
      • Microsoft Word can only send data to Microsoft-owned IP ranges
      • Salesforce can only transmit to Salesforce infrastructure.
      • Excel blocked from uploading to attacker-controlled cloud storage.
      • DNS-independent validation means even compromised vendor software cannot transmit data to unauthorised infrastructure.

Operational Advantage

✓ Real-time prevention without user intervention — data never leaves the device if validation fails.

✓ When incidents occur, you immediately know which application attempted what transmission to where, without forensic investigation.

✓ Strategic incident response, based on facts, not assumptions.

✓ Supply-chain attack immunity — even if DNS is compromised or a legitimate application is used maliciously, we detect the destination infrastructure mismatch and block transmission.

ZORB complements your existing endpoint protection and DLP.Filling the application data gap without replacing current security investments.

Understand the risk in your environment

Technical claims mean nothing without evidence from your own infrastructure.

    • Forensic visibility of applications transmitting data outside your awareness
    • Destination IP addresses and infrastructure ownership validation
    • Unauthorised cloud storage connections from desktop applications
    • Application update requests routed through ISPs instead of direct to vendors
    • Communication methods violating security policy

Proof-of-Value Assessment

10-days. 10 devices. Zero disruption.

Free Assessment

Most organisations discover 15-30% of application traffic going to unauthorised destinations. Not malicious—just unmonitored.

But during a breach, this unmonitored application traffic could be the path to data theft.
