BLOOMFIELD, NJ, March 29, 2022 — This past year was a record-breaking year for data breaches. According to Identity Theft Resource Center research, “the total number of data breaches through September 30, 2021, already exceeded the total number of events in 2020 by 17%.”
Regulators went from vague outlines of cybersecurity regulations to increasingly prescriptive as firms in the industry try to keep up with the shifting landscape. Under the SEC’s Regulation S-P, firms are required to have policies and procedures addressing the protection of customer information and records. This includes identifying and blocking the transmission of sensitive data from leaving the organization.
A Zero Trust approach considers users, devices, and systems as potential threats until proven otherwise — verify first, then trust. Without controls in place, nothing stops someone from extracting data to an external system. In a BYOD world, protection is critical.
FCI enables Enterprises, Field, and Home Offices to avoid data exfiltration and data leaks with a Data Exfiltration Protection solution that provides visibility on private data movement:
- Allows cyber teams to monitor, alert, and block private data transfer
- Offers Reports and a Dashboard for better compliance evidence
Brian Edelman, FCI’s Founder and CEO notes, “With this unique solution, we have created the coordination between data exfiltration protection and systems of private data. We also have coordination between the device and the user — we now know ‘who,’ not just what device. Our passion is to stay current on threats and regulations to help firms understand how to stay compliant and keep data safe.”
