“The protection we provide against that is keep the data encrypted, even if they’ve somehow got their hands on it, that they have an encrypted copy of the data, which is useless to them. There are two things. One is they can’t hold you for ransom, nor can they go extort you by throwing the data into the dark web”
Guarding the corporate crown jewels from abuse theft and ransom, Sotero Podcast, “We want to make sure that all data stays protected, but we also want to make sure that the data can be accessed and used by the company to drive their business.”
“Even if the external defenses were to be breached you can rest assured that your data or the information is still secure and Sotero is going to make sure that nothing happens to your information,” says Purandar Das, CEO and Co-Founder. Organizations of all kinds understand the challenge to find this balance. Data, as Purandar will tell us, constitute the crown jewel of the organization.
Government agency, hospital, trucking company, law firm, or non-for profit, not only is the data a critical asset, but access to the data, indeed easy access to the data, is central to the organization’s ability to carry out its functions. But that exposure opens a door that can take down the firm. The world’s richest, most sophisticated companies, including carriers, entertainment, retailers, from household name companies to regional libraries, many have been humbled. “We want to make sure that all data stays protected, but we also want to make sure that the data can be accessed and used by the company to drive their business.”
“We are actually inside the castle, or if you will, inside the network, protecting data. Even if the external protection were to be breached, you’ve got Sotero in there protecting your information and your data.”
And as Purandar, not only can those attacks come from anywhere and from anyone, but they can also come at any time, and all the time. Many companies lack visibility to the threat.
We learn that even something that might seem harmless, is an opportunity for abuse. “When you put the data into the wild, you’re putting consumers, patients, at risk because their information’s out there. But you’re also helping contribute to building out a massive profile of consumers that is being leveraged by stealing data from multiple sources. When a data set that looks pretty innocuous from one thing, when it’s merged with other sources from like two or three places, now you’ve built an extremely valuable profile of the people you’re trying to attack.”
In this podcast we discuss the nature of the threat, and we explore various approaches to keep data safe. We learn about Sotero’s approach. “The protection we provide against that is keep the data encrypted, even if they’ve somehow got their hands on it, that they have an encrypted copy of the data, which is useless to them. There are two things. One is they can’t hold you for ransom, nor can they go extort you by throwing the data into the dark web”
