Cybersecurity: the 5 pillars and how Kati protects your data

44% of Italian companies with over 100 employees have been victims of cyberattacks. Cybersecurity is no longer a luxury—it’s an absolute necessity. Cyber threats evolve rapidly, making a structured, robust approach to data protection indispensable.

What are the foundations of an effective cybersecurity strategy?

There are five essential pillars that every organization should consider to safeguard its information and systems. These pillars are the key areas you must address to mitigate risks and build resilient defenses. It is precisely in this context that solutions like Kati, the software developed by Len Solution S.r.l., emerge as examples of how a concrete commitment to cybersecurity translates into tangible protection for your documents.

Every year, Kati undergoes a Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Test (VAPT) that certifies the software’s security and adherence to these principles.

Here’s how Kati, backed by in-depth and verified security analysis, supports and reinforces the five pillars of cybersecurity:

The 5 pillars of Cybersecurity

Confidentiality: Protecting Your Digital Secrets

Confidentiality ensures that sensitive information is accessible only to those who are authorized. This means preventing unauthorized disclosure of data. To achieve this, encryption mechanisms, strict access controls, and information management policies are essential.

Kati guarantees the confidentiality of your documents through advanced encryption systems, making every file unreadable to anyone who is not the rightful owner or an authorized user with the proper credentials. This approach ensures that your sensitive information stays private, whether facing an external breach attempt or unauthorized internal access. Your digital privacy is our priority.

Integrity: Guaranteeing Your Data Remain Unaltered

Integrity refers to the accuracy, completeness, and authenticity of information. It ensures that data is not modified, tampered with, or destroyed without authorization. Mechanisms such as cryptographic hashes, digital signatures, and granular access controls are crucial here.

Kati is committed to maintaining the integrity of your documents, ensuring that information remains accurate and free from unauthorized changes. Every modification is tracked and verifiable, protecting you from accidental or malicious tampering and maintaining the validity of your records.

Availability: Reliable Access When You Need It

Availability guarantees that authorized users can access information and systems whenever needed. This requires resilient infrastructures, disaster recovery plans, and protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Kati is designed to ensure high service availability, allowing you to access your documents anytime and anywhere. Thanks to a robust architecture and redundant backup systems, we minimize the risk of disruptions, even during unexpected events. Operational continuity is critical to your business, and Kati delivers it.

Authentication: Verifying Who You Really Are

Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user, system, or application. It is the first step in ensuring that only legitimate entities can access resources. This includes strong passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and identity management systems.

Kati implements advanced, secure authentication mechanisms to ensure that only valid users can access your documents. This includes support for strong passwords and the option to integrate MFA for an extra layer of protection. The VAPT has specifically tested the strength of our access credentials and authentication systems, confirming that only you and your authorized collaborators can access your data.

Non-Repudiation: Undeniable Proof of Actions

Non-repudiation guarantees that a party cannot deny having performed an action. With Kati, every operation on your documents is logged in immutable audit logs with timestamps. This means you have irrefutable evidence of who did what and when—crucial for accountability, regulatory compliance, and trust in your digital transactions. Kati gives you the certainty you need to operate transparently.

Cybersecurity: the importance of VAPT

In conclusion, the Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Test report is not just a technical certificate but a declaration of Kati’s commitment to comprehensive cybersecurity. By integrating and reinforcing the five fundamental pillars—Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Authentication, and Non-Repudiation—Kati offers a digital fortress for your documents, enabling you to work with the peace of mind that your most valuable information is protected to the highest industry standards.
