What is Deterministic Process Design®?It is an activity design model in which processes have no randomness, which frequently happens when teams have no framework or "guard rails" for work execution. The deterministic approach enables automated provisioning, workflow metrics, and work in progress monitoring.Deterministic Process Design® enables rules-based process workflow which can be automated using commonly available software tools. This additionally provides significant benefits by providing intellectual property and asset protection, version control, improved availability to distributed teams, and re-use. As the pace of work keeps accelerating, the need to automate increases. At the same time, we need to simplify the growing complexity of the development and delivery of solutions.

Fractel US produced and marketed information security technology solutions for North America based on the "stealth" cybersecurity work of Russian genius Vladimir Zaborovsky et al and his patented FNP technology. The Fractel FNP is a hardware/software firewall processor without MAC or IP addresses and is therefore invisible externally. It can fully replicate network traffic (for 100% forensics, for example) as well as provide traditional firewall security features like topology hiding (NAT), stateful packet inspection (TCP/IP and Novell), and multilevel filtration. It acts like a “part of wire” and does not change packet header parameters of interfere with the packet payload. As a result, it cannot be targeted or detected by any presently known remote monitoring device.https://slideplayer.com/slide/7602175/
