What is The Red Pill®?

The Red Pill® is a technology solution which enables a safe and secure environment for applied networking.

Whether working from home, keeping in touch, banking, education, news or entertainment, the Internet is an exciting and dangerous experience with hundreds of thousands of hackers trying to steal your identity, your money, your information, and to exploit your activities.

The Red Pill® is hardware and software intended for a stand-alone gateway to the world which provides secure multi-media communications, domain and user identification and verification, and incident monitoring, event thresholding, and automatic active defense.

To rephrase: in your normal experience on the Internet, your messaging and activities should be private, when you receive messaging you should be able to verify the sender is exactly who they claim to be and despite the lock on the door and the spikes on your walled garden, if someone tries to break-in, defenses need to release the dogs while the walls are made more secure.

The Red Pill® means a Zero Trust approach to security

Zero trust presents a shift from a location-centric model to an identity, context, and data-centric approach with fine-grained security controls between users, systems, applications, data, and assets that change over time.

National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC)

Current Cyber Security depends on perimeter defenses such as a firewall where a gatekeeper hopes that an account name and password match. Anti-viruses scan content (email or webpages) looking for incoming malicious code to be executed but don’t determine if the source of the content can truly be identified or even if it makes sense.

The Red Pill® Security Suite is a family of applications that detects and records cyber incidents, verifies the credentials of the parties involved and assesses a threat score. The score is based on millions of incidents over more than 10 years. SohoStar is currently tracking more than 70,000 malicious networks across the globe.

The Red Pill® system maintains a database in CidrPress™ which relates incidents to networks and authorities, combined with incident classifications to create and manage the threat score.

The Red Pill® system maintains VoirDire™, a key escrow and verifiable credential repository enabling a decentralized, standards-based, recipient-centric ecosystem, enabling trustless verification through blockchain technologies (blockcerts). SohoStar’s DAVID™ operating system utilizes Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).

Sohostar recognizes that Domain Name Services (DNS) can be repudiated allowing DNS cache poisoning, malicious redirection, address spoofing, censorship, and non-authoritative page and data caches. The Red Pill® system combines VoirDire, CidrPress, and DNS services into our application WhereIsFido™, which provides verified relations between individuals and entities and IP addresses.

Executive Order EO14028: “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” recognizes the importance of evolving Cybersecurity technology in Zero Trust solutions for the government. Sohostar fulfills Zero Trust for the rest of us in The Red Pill® Security Suite. Demand it now.
