Moody’s examined 143 sovereign entities, measuring a variety of indicators around their IT and cybersecurity maturity. Using the International Telecommunication Union Global Cybersecurity Index, a United Nations’ office that measures cybersecurity strength across five key areas (legal, technical, organizational, capacity development and cooperation) found that more credit-worthy sovereign nations tended to have stronger cybersecurity rankings, more effective institutions and access to greater resources and human compared to emerging market nations.
Nations and other sovereign entities with more developed information technology infrastructures tend to have higher credit, and not surprisingly, this can leave those same countries more exposed to cyberattacks and other digital threats due to the increased attack surface. But this digital maturity also allows organizations inside those nations access to more sophisticated cybersecurity resources, like advanced telecommunications infrastructure or a highly qualified human workforce.
That access apparently makes a huge difference — even though countries with lesser-developed IT have fewer systems and devices to hack, they tend to be more vulnerable to cyber threats overall.
As a counterexample, Moody’s cites two emerging market countries, Montenegro and Costa Rica, that experienced crippling ransomware attacks last year that disrupted or halted government services, international trade, healthcare services and other sectors and have yet to fully recover.
It’s not that these countries don’t pay attention to cybersecurity; in fact, Moody’s notes that emerging market nations tend to perform many of the same high-level strategic tasks — like developing national cybersecurity strategies and targeted laws to reduce their exposure to hacking — that higher credit nations do. The difference likely lies in how those initiatives are implemented and the overall strength of institutions and the resources they can bring to bear to address the underlying problems.
“The results underscore that sovereigns with weak economic strength, which reflects the relatively small size and low wealth levels of their economies, tend to have less economic resources available to dedicate per capita to national cybersecurity efforts, contributing to lower overall cybersecurity strength,” Moody’s assessed. “Meanwhile, sovereigns with stronger institutions and governance strength tend to have relatively stronger cybersecurity positions.”
Personal & Business Data Security is at the very heart of what we are striving to achieve at BLAKFX. We all know that data theft and cyberattacks are a tangible threat to all of our collective well-being. Business and government simply cannot operate nor thrive if the threat of theft or exposure is omnipresent.
The new era of data security is one that requires new solutions. The era of perimeter defenses is over as it is proving impossible to keep hackers from breaching the perimeter and accessing data. Further E2E encryption based on old models of RSA cryptography will be obsolete when quantum computing becomes mainstream.
Helix22 delivers perfect security assurance due to our genius engineering team that has invented a new model for data security that required an innovative look at the problem. The approach we took was to protect the data itself. Almost all other data security products try to build a perimeter or being fanatic on user credentials. However, once the product is breached or a password is stolen, even if it is 2FA or encrypted, your firms data is in the clear.
You see, the Helix22 cryptography is embedded with the data itself through our inventive and patented process of DNA BindingTM. Therefore, even if credentials are stolen the data cannot be exfiltrated. This means that all data is 100% protected regardless of the type of attack. This holds true for customer and user data as well. No theft of user information is possible.
Our Motto
“In Math We Trust”
D2D encryption
We can make this claim as the tech engineers at BLAKFX invented and patented a genuine device2device (D2D) encryption. We manage data security transmission through the truly brilliant and also patented universal Helix22 key service. The Helix22 encryption originates on your network or device, not just when the app is opened. This means, that when data arrives to our key server, it is already encrypted so all it needs to do is issue another key. Signal and Telegram cannot claim this level of security. This key will then only work with the intended device, which generates a matching key required to open the data. In this protocol, we are truly a “zero-knowledge” server so your communications and transmissions remain completely top secret. Even in the event that BLAKFX were subpoenaed, we can honor the request by just handing over the encrypted content…as that is literally all we have. Helix22 also only use keys just one-time and then destroys them. This way the data security is future forward prefect. Therefore, in our unique device-to-device (D2D) world, there is no opportunity at all for any data leak.
This same protocol just described, can be the same with all your 3rd party vendors and suppliers. It does not matter in the least what platform they are running or what device they are using or even the type of data, it is all 100% protected. We do however, strongly advise that all firms involved be utilizing Helix22 due to the nature of the data content. Helix22 can ensure that whatever data they are generating is protected as well.
Let’s take it a step further. Even if your organization were a victim of an internal attack or a victim of malicious open source downloads, there is no reason for concern. Any data that has been forwarded, downloaded, copied or saved cannot be exfiltrated. Period. We have the technology industries foremost data packets which are protected with multi-layered, military grade encryption algorithms that have already proven the ability to withstand penetration testing from MI5 and quantum computing attacks.
One final practical genius of DNA BindingTM is in that it is immediately compatible with whichever system or software you are utilizing. Therefore, any organization can forward information to another and then discuss it and there is immediate privacy.

BLAKFX is Based on Success
Our founders, Robert Statica PhD and Kara Coppa, also founded Wickr, which is used by the US military and has never been hacked since its inception in 2012. The Helix22 data security SDK is several generations enhanced since then. Dr. Statica also delivered the encryption for the world’s most secure phone, Katim.
