LOS ANGELES, CA – March 24, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — IDrive® e2, offering one of the fastest S3 compatible, scalable object storage platforms, has optimized performance for Veeam backup and replication, enabling Veeam users to store large amounts of data securely in the cloud while providing faster backup and recovery times.
IDrive® e2 is an object storage solution that is designed to provide users with the flexibility and scalability they need to manage their data effectively. It is suitable for hosting applications, media workflow, gaming assets, e-commerce resources, and other large volumes of data.
With these performance enhancements for Veeam backup and replication, users can perform backups and recoveries faster than ever before with minimal impact on their systems. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on Veeam to protect their data, as any downtime or delays can have a significant impact on their operations.
Veeam backup and replication with IDrive® e2 allows users to backup their data directly to the cloud, simplifying backup jobs and making the move to the cloud even easier. This service can automatically schedule old on-premises backups to be moved to the cloud, ensuring that your on-site systems are maintaining full capacity, which is critical for high-performance restore operations. Users can also set backups to be sent to local storage as well as the cloud simultaneously.
IDrive® e2 is compatible with Veeam v12, the newest version which offers direct-to-cloud object storage, allowing Veeam users to set cloud object storage as a primary target for their backups. This provides IT operations teams with a simpler way to scale their data protection operations and employs the advantages of immutability to ensure their data is secure from any threats.
To help protect against ransomware, IDrive® e2 offers Object Lock, meaning that your backups cannot be deleted or altered without the permission of the user. This provides an air-gapped immutable copy of your data for guaranteed integrity when it is time to recover that data.
Users of other integrations such as Rclone, MSP360, and many more can also take advantage of these performance enhancements.
With a straightforward, tierless pricing approach, IDrive® e2 is the most affordable object storage solution available, with the first 10GB free and pricing starting at $0.004/GB/month. The service costs 80% less than AWS S3 with no egress fees, as well as being one of the few solutions available that does not charge an extra fee for downloading data.
IDrive® e2 has 14 edge computing locations across the United States, Canada, and Europe, meaning users all over the world are able to point their data to the edge center closest to them for a faster network and ease of access, as well as retrieve their data quickly based on their convenience. This provides the fastest possible response time for all S3 API calls no matter what region the user is located in.

St. Petersburg, FL – March 24, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — Today, many FINRA firms want to move their operations to the Microsoft 365 Cloud, but are worried how compliant they will be, specifically with rule 17a-4 and its email and data retention demands. They also need to meet FINRA’s cybersecurity requirements. Compliant Workspace is a perfect fit for them with it’s fully secured, fully protected solution out-of-the-box – AdvisorVault is happy to partner with them.
Microsoft 365 makes sense, especially for small firms since it’s a complete platform giving employees everything needed to do their jobs, but by default Microsoft’s Cloud isn’t 17a-4 compliant, also they won’t provide the FINRA letters. So a special kind of cloud provider is needed; one that understands the unique compliance demands of firms such as broker-dealers.
“We designed Compliant Workspace specifically for companies needing a higher level of security and protection in the cloud, our Consolidated 365 Service has built-in features making FINRA firms immediately 17a-4 compliant when they migrate their office to Microsoft 365 with us, we are excited to partner with AdvisorVault”, says Patrick Lonz, President of Compliant Workspace.

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland – March 23, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today announced the enhancement of its security defense against advanced fileless attacks using Intel® Threat Detection Technology (Intel® TDT) leveraging the Intel® integrated GPU to offload memory scanning operations from the CPU. Acronis is the latest cyber protection company to integrate Intel® TDT to enrich its security products.
With cyber threats evolving and growing on a daily basis, Acronis researchers have witnessed new types of malware and attack vectors on enterprises such as polymorphic malware and fileless attacks. Many threats utilize an in-memory-only approach which can be hard to detect. Intel® TDT technology allows Acronis cyber protection solutions to free resources while scanning HDD and memory resulting in improved system performance. Acronis researchers found that while scanning all the processes in system memory on supported CPUs, Intel® TDT reduced the load on the CPU 2.4x times, by offloading the job to the Intel® integrated GPU.
The Acronis solution combines complete single-agent cyber protection with Intel® TDT. This enhancement results in lower CPU utilization which allows more compute capacity for productivity and office software used by Acronis end customers while compute-intensive security operations run in the Intel® integrated GPU. The innovation of Intel® TDT will be available through Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, Acronis Cyber Protect, and Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office solutions.
“The integration of Intel® TDT into Acronis cyber protection solutions is a logical step to meet the needs of our users, said Patrick Pulvermueller, CEO at Acronis. “During the last year, we observed that almost 50% of attacks detected were fileless. The use of this Intel technology is a great milestone as we continue to optimize and enhance our anti-malware engine.”
“Through our collaboration with Acronis to integrate Intel® Threat Detection Technology into their cyber protection solutions, customers of all sizes that utilize Intel vPro® can perform frequent and highly performant memory scanning. This is a great benefit for our mutual customers as we help them stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threats,” said Carla Rodríguez, Vice President and General Manager, Ecosystem Partner Enabling at Intel.
“As the IT world grows in sophistication and continues its migration to the cloud, more stress has fallen on security teams with less-integrated technology, creating complexity and unintentional blind spots in security systems,” said Research Vice President of Security and Trust Michael Suby at IDC. “According to a recent IDC survey of 1,015 security professionals in North America, this is particularly the case for smaller organizations who are less equipped to effectively operate separate products from multiple vendors or benefit from a position of strength in negotiating with multiple vendors. As such, they are more likely to resonate with an integrated hardware and software approach to endpoint security.”
Acronis provides its users with the ability to take back control and overcome complexity with an integrated platform which results in greater operational efficiency. By implementing an integrated solution like Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, organizations can reduce the time that security teams spend on various operational activities, lower training costs, reduce the complexity in their environment by minimizing the number of tools managed, and ultimately drive business growth.

Johannesburg, SA – March 24, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — South African cyber security specialist Obscure Technologies has partnered with Rubrik, the Zero Trust Data Security Company, for the distribution of its solutions in South Africa.
The non-exclusive distribution agreement adds crucial data security, cyber resilience and recovery competence to Obscure Technologies’ product stack. Rubrik provides data resilience, data observability and ransomware recovery with air-gapped, immutable, access-controlled backups.
Obscure Technologies MD Justin Lee says: “Data security is the fastest growing area of cyber security at the moment, and a top priority for South African organisations. This space was a missing piece in the puzzle of our security portfolio, so adding Rubrik to our product stack addresses our valued partners’ and customers’ evolving cyber security and data protection needs across the board.”
He adds: “Data is the most valuable asset of most companies today. Rubrik offers a secure vault to protect data, and in the eventuality of organisations being breached, Rubrik enables them to restore their data to the last known pure position and get business up and running quickly.”
Obscure Technologies is continually adding best-of-breed products to its stack, and now has a portfolio of 17 cyber security and data protection solutions with an 18 service offering set to be announced soon.
“We are continually extending our portfolio to help customers mitigate risk more broadly. We see huge demand for a product like this. Driven out of the acceleration to cloud, organisations now need to think about cloud data recovery, resilience and safety,” he says.
“With the addition of Rubrik to our portfolio, we are offering our valued partners an opportunity to open new revenue streams for their existing installed bases and to take something to market that we believe is a front-and-centre priority. It fulfils a growing need in the ransomware and malware space, and supports continuity and resiliency, which is becoming a critical requirement for business,” Lee concludes.
About Obscure Technologies
Obscure Technologies was founded in 2016 by a group of specialist security professionals whose combined IP and experience has been gained through working for and with global IT and security giants, over the years.

SAN JOSE, CA and ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ – March 22, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — Cohesity, a leader in data security and management, and OwnBackup, the leading SaaS data protection platform, today announced a strategic technology partnership to deliver customers a modern data security and management solution for their essential SaaS applications. Cohesity and OwnBackup are partnering to simplify this effort for their joint customers across an array of popular SaaS applications including Salesforce, Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
As IT operations grow more complex, organizations today rely on multiple SaaS applications to run their businesses and are attempting to manage and backup these apps with an array of siloed solutions. Together, Cohesity and OwnBackup will help organizations take greater ownership of their mission-critical data through consolidation and also provide flexibility of choice on the backup environment most suited to their business needs.
This partnership will provide customers of both OwnBackup and Cohesity with enhanced capabilities to backup and seamlessly recover multiple data types, across a wide array of SaaS applications. With Cohesity and OwnBackup, customers will be able to choose to back up their data to their on-premises environment, or to a fully-managed cloud environment.
“Our business increasingly relies on SaaS applications for day-to-day operations. While these products streamline parts of our IT and back-office operations, performing data backup and restoration has also been a bit complex,” says Dan Lepine, senior director of IT Infrastructure at Epicor. “We look forward to seeing how the partnership between Cohesity and OwnBackup can simplify how we protect and manage our most important asset: our corporate data. Being able to visualize and manage our on-premises and SaaS backup data side-by-side can bring efficiencies into how we manage those data sets.”
This partnership is also intended to help joint customers advance cyber resiliency within their organizations. For example, customers will be able to rely on immutability and strict access controls to recover their data predictably in the event of a data breach. From mainframe systems to modern SaaS-based applications, the joint solution will be designed to consolidate the protection of leading SaaS applications on a single solution, streamlining IT operations, reducing attack vectors for cybercriminals to exploit, and ensuring business continuity in the event of data disruption.
“OwnBackup understands the need to give customers the data security controls they need and expect when it comes to their data backups and provide solutions that best suit their business needs no matter their environment,” said Sanjay Poonen, CEO, Cohesity. “As a leader in enterprise data security and management, we want to partner with the best-in-class in their area. We’re excited to partner with a leader in SaaS data protection to continue to deliver innovative solutions that our customers can confidently rely on.”
OwnBackup is an industry recognized leader in SaaS data protection with over eight years of experience helping customers protect their mission-critical data across Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. This joint effort will not only simplify management and reduce data sprawl, but more importantly, help customers to secure their data in an immutable format, protected with strict access controls.
“Partnering with Cohesity is a natural fit, as they share our commitment to helping organizations protect the data that they rely on everyday,” said Sam Gutmann, CEO, OwnBackup. “Together, we’ll enable customers to take ownership of more of their data and leverage it to improve their business.”
“Customers are using an increasing number of SaaS apps. Recent research we conducted at Enterprise Strategy Group shows that while many of these SaaS applications are considered mission-critical, data protection is lagging behind: there is a disconnect that could lead to serious SaaS data loss consequences,” said Christophe Bertrand, practice director, ESG Research. “Cohesity’s recent advancement of an ecosystem of strategic partnerships, including with OwnBackup for SaaS protection is not only timely, it is critical for helping organizations simplify and optimize the protection of their key data assets, wherever they live.”

MUMBAI, India – March 21, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — DigiBoxx, a Swadeshi Storage as a Service platform for individuals, gig workers and growing businesses, offers a pocket-friendly solution starting from Re 1 a day for individuals and Rs 33 a day for growing businesses. This is the most cost-effective local cloud storage service available today, which is secure, scalable, affordable and enables registered users to easily share, store and track their digital assets. In a short span of time since its launch, DigiBoxx has garnered more than 1.6 million registered users and continues to provide regular updates and innovative features like DigiFotos, its automatic photo backup service for Android and iOS devices.
Mr Arnab Mitra, CEO, DigiBoxx said, “Today cloud storage is every Internet-accessing citizen’s right, which must be respected. With proliferation of smart devices and ease of Internet access, every individual is creating data all the time and all of it needs to be stored and accessed on demand without being restricted to any one device. DigiBoxx acknowledges this right of the citizens and this new pack will empower every individual to create-store-access, in India, without breaking the bank.”
– A free account gives users a 20GB cloud drive. That’s equivalent to nearly 2,000 photographs and 5,000 documents.
– Completely ad-free.
– At merely Re 1 per day, DigiBoxx is one of the cheapest cloud storage services around. Users can get access to 100GB cloud storage for just Rs 30 per month.
– DigiFotos feature lets smartphone users back up photographs on the handset automatically to their DigiBoxx account. That’s 20GB dedicated to photo backups and other creatives, compared to others.
– Support for 8 local languages.
– Privacy and security are central to DigiBoxx. It upholds the citizen’s best interests and data sovereignty by keeping critical data created in India within its borders.
– App available for Android and iOS devices.

Popular cloud storage service providers provide limited storage capacity for free to individuals. Moreover, this data is distributed in datacenters across the world. There is no transparency on its location and there is no option to choose where one prefers to store their data. There is the additional privacy concern over service providers tracking user behavior for improving user experience.
DigiBoxx is a highly scalable service that addresses the needs for individuals, content creators and businesses. It offers much more storage space for individuals who prefer a basic free account. Their credentials are not shared with third-party services and its paid plans are more affordable when compared with global cloud storage service providers.
DigiBoxx can scale to meet the demand of content creators, sales, creative and marketing professionals in a small business and large enterprise as well. It streamlines workflows, unifies brand inventory across multiple touchpoints, allows teams to stay in sync and function effectively.
About DigiBoxx:

SAN JOSE, CA – March 20, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — Having accelerated growth and outpaced competitors since its refounding two years ago, Panzura, LLC (“Panzura”), the leader in multi-cloud data management, is poised to continue its growth trajectory meeting the rising demand for hybrid cloud storage, according to new research from 451 Research, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence. In a report that focuses on Panzura, the global research and advisory firm finds the company “revitalized” from its refounding in May 2020. Since then, CEO Jill Stelfox doubled the company’s annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) by growing the number and average size of deals.
Panzura’s growth comes at a time when enterprises are increasingly turning away from traditional on-premises data management towards a hybrid cloud model. In Revitalized Panzura sharpens focus on data management, 451 Research reveals an 11% increase in the adoption of hybrid cloud services for data protection in the past two years. During this time, Panzura has launched seven new services around its Panzura CloudFS global file system platform aimed at meeting the rising demand for data analytics, governance, and monitoring.
As global ransomware threats escalate and enterprises increasingly look to bolster data protection, the 451 Research report highlights Panzura’s rapid response to the changing market condition. By leveraging its immutable storage, rapid recovery, and data services, Panzura has pivoted its capabilities to address enterprise data protection challenges and to alleviate recovery concerns.
Henry Baltazar, Research Director for the storage practice at 451 Research, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, commented, “Panzura has succeeded in leveraging its expertise in cloud file services, data protection, and data management just when people needed it most – during the pandemic. The tailwinds which drove Panzura’s growth are likely to continue given that we’re seeing many organizations shift toward hybrid cloud storage over on-promises to handle their data protection needs. The continuing popularity of multicloud and hybrid deployments highlights the need for secure, consistent file sharing and data management and is a key growth opportunity for Panzura in the future.”
Since Panzura’s refounding in May 2020, the company’s new leadership team has driven a dramatic turnaround. The company now boasts more than 400 customers with an enviable customer retention rate of 97% and an NPS score of 87. Average deal size is growing with the company boasting several deals worth over $1 million ARR currently. In May 2022, Panzura raised $80 million from Kayne Partners and CIBC Innovation Banking in a Series B funding round, and today, the company is profitable.
Summarizing the guiding ethos behind Panzura’s success, Jill Stelfox said, “Companies are increasingly turning to SaaS and hybrid cloud secure data management solutions to meet their needs for agile, remote work. They’re rethinking the cost of storage and the value of data protection. As customers demand greater security, Panzura is here to meet the need for data that’s safe, smart, and easy to manage.”
Panzura protects customers’ data from cyber threats like ransomware through immutable storage that can easily scale with AI/ML data analytics. Stelfox added, “We can’t stop cyber threats, but we can stop the damage they cause. That’s why our clients choose us.”
Panzura’s technology solutions have earned seven industry awards over the past year, including “Cloud Infrastructure Solution of the Year” by the Tech Ascension Awards, and “Best Hybrid Cloud Solution” in the Cloud Awards. Additionally, Panzura was named among Inc. Magazine’s best workplaces for 2022. Its above-market growth allows Panzura to continue hiring the industry’s best talent. The company is actively looking to fill career opportunities in Engineering, Marketing, HR, Finance, and Sales.

FAIRFIELD, NJ – March 20, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — 11:11 Systems (“11:11”), a managed infrastructure solutions provider, today announced a new case study with Automated Financial Systems (AFS).
In business for over 50 years, AFS is the global leader in providing real-time, end-to-end commercial lending solutions to the world’s top-tier institutions as well as regional and de novo clients. Uniquely positioned to support business and technology transformation for its clients, AFS operates the world’s largest and only fully integrated commercial lending system, with 25 of the top-100 banks using AFS products and services.
For the last two decades, AFS kept its IT operations largely in-house, developing and hosting its own software. This meant the team was solely responsible for maintaining the company’s business continuity efforts, which included operating two data center locations in Pennsylvania. The in-house system became increasingly burdensome to maintain – in both money and time – causing a strain on resources.
As part of a larger IT modernization project across the company, the team selected 11:11 for Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) for Zerto. In addition to providing continuous data availability, simplifying day-to-day management and freeing up IT resources, 11:11 met AFS’s industry-specific regulatory requirements, including a dedicated compliance team, which the team can lean on to understand the complexity of maintaining these regulations.

It starts with securing their data and ensuring that if the worst does happen, they can recover rapidly whether their data is on-premises, in the cloud or both. Central to that mission is working with great partners like Carahsoft to give public sector customers the confidence to know they can keep running no matter what happens.”

The DHS CDM is a renowned Federal program with a dynamic approach to fortifying the cybersecurity of civilian Government networks and systems in close to real time. The addition of HYCU to the approved product list solidifies the company’s value as a fully managed, fully optimized data protection, backup and recovery solution for the Federal Government for on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud.

By working with the industry’s leading platform and technology innovators, HYCU has been able to extend value, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness to keep IT moving forward.

HYCU’s unified, purpose-built-data protection as a service for hybrid and multi-cloud environments eliminates those headaches by simplifying backup and recovery operations while safeguarding critical data from loss, downtime and ransomware attacks. We are excited to continue to support the Federal Government through our reseller partners and with strategic partners such as HYCU.”

Expanding Hybrid Cloud Momentum Fuels ARR Growth
AUSTIN, TX – March 15, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — FalconStor Software, Inc. (OTCQB: FALC), a trusted data protection leader modernizing disaster recovery and backup for the hybrid cloud world, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year 2022, which ended on December 31, 2022.
“We are pleased with the progress we made in the 2022, especially in Q4 and the last half of the year, as our joint sales with IBM to deliver hybrid cloud data protection solutions to IBM customers formally launched in the second half and began to increase,” said Todd Brooks, FalconStor CEO. “IBM’s hybrid cloud focus is a key element of its growth strategy, as detailed in each of their earnings announcements in 2022. Our joint solutions enable IBM customers across the globe to optimize data protection within each of their operating environments, whether those environments run on-premises or in the cloud. In addition, our partnership with IBM is enabling MSPs to expand the backup-as-a-service offerings they provide to IBM and non-IBM customers alike, as more and more enterprises entrust MSPs to manage their IT environments.”
“While total revenue declined by 30% year over year in 2022, as we continued our shift from legacy perpetual revenue to annual recurring revenue, total revenue increased by 26% in the second half of 2022 compared to the first half of the year. This increase is a good early validation of our expanding partner sales since the formal launch of our IBM relationship at the beginning of the second half of 2022,” stated Brooks. “In addition, we continued to maintain tight control of our operating expenses, resulting in positive net income in the second half of 2022. We are excited by the progress we made in 2022 and believe we have created a strong foundation from which to build in 2023 and beyond.”

BOSTON, March 14, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — Nasuni Corporation, a leading provider of file data services, today announced that it has achieved a major milestone, with more than 500 using Nasuni to access and protect upwards of 100 petabytes (PB) of primary customer file data workloads residing in Microsoft Azure.
The expansion of Nasuni users leveraging Azure has been strong since 2019, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 74% and In fact, the amount of data going into Azure from Nasuni users is accelerating relative to past years — the company’s customers added an average of 3 PB per month into Azure throughout 2022.
Enterprise IT continues to rapidly move file data infrastructure to the cloud, which along with the serious threat of ransomware and the need to support hybrid and remote work, has fueled strong demand for the Nasuni File Data Platform with Azure Blob Storage.
Additionally, Nasuni introduced a Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams integration that enables Nasuni users to store, search, browse, and edit files in Nasuni within these applications. The company also strengthened its Microsoft Alliance team with the promotion of Paul Horn to Head of Global Cloud Alliances, and Sean Cross to Global Microsoft Alliance Director.
“Nasuni is a longstanding Microsoft Azure partner. This is a great milestone, representing impressive growth,” said Jurgen Willis, Vice President, Azure specialized workloads and storage at Microsoft. “We have hundreds of joint enterprise customers who benefit from the excellent performance, security, and durability of Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, which serves as an ideal foundation for the Nasuni File Data Platform.”
The Nasuni File Data Platform with Azure Blob Storage enables enterprises to replace legacy file storage and data protection with a set of enhanced file services that simplify infrastructure, provide 24/7 business continuity, optimize end user productivity, and deliver data insights. Taking full advantage of Microsoft Azure’s object store, Nasuni leverages highly-efficient, immutable snapshots to create a complete and secure history of the entire file share, which can then be restored back to any point in time. This patented feature, Nasuni Continuous File Versioning®, allows the Nasuni File Data Platform to store all file changes in Azure, which automates data protection and eliminates the need for a separate investment in backup software and hardware. Recovery is fast, enabling IT to restore lost files or even entire volumes in just minutes.
“The Nasuni-Azure snapshotting approach just works,” said Joe Marando, CIO at JERDE, a global architecture firm whose portfolio includes The Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles, California; Namba Parks in Osaka, Japan; and the Bellagio and Palms resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada. “If ransomware hits, you just go back and restore your data from right before the attack, and you get your data back. I love the file recovery functionality with Nasuni.”

Minneapolis, MN – March 14, 2023 — / BackupReview.info / — Code42 Software, Inc., the Insider Risk Management (IRM) leader today announced the hiring of Michael Guglielmi as its Vice President of Channel Sales and Consulting Partners. As Code42’s top channel executive, Guglielmi will oversee the company’s 100% channel go-to-market strategy and Accelerate partner program, which enables Code42’s 200+ channel partners to easily offer Code42 Incydr and Instructor products to their customers. The Accelerate partner program supports Code42’s partners holistically with partner enablement, communications, marketing and incentives programs, and a solutions-led approach based on a plethora of Incydr technology integrations.
In his new position, Guglielmi brings nearly two decades of executive-level internet infrastructure and security experience driving revenue growth, implementing go-to-market strategies, and improving operations for both public and private companies. Guglielmi most recently served as Vice President of Global Sales and Business Development at Webscale where he was charged with managing its global sales strategy, business development initiatives, and strategic alliances. Prior to that, Guglielmi held leadership positions in SaaS businesses including Qualys, VeriSign, Teneros and Neustar.
“Code42 has one of the most comprehensive and advanced solutions to detect and respond to data loss from insiders, combined with a clear commitment to its ‘Channel First’ strategy. I look forward to continuing to strengthen relationships and deliver unparalleled value. In today’s complex, digital landscape, we need to educate channel partners and customers about the breadth of insider risks and the need to have a range of responses – ranging from education, investigations to containment and blocking – which allow customers to protect their IP while, at the same time, harness the power of collaboration technologies,” said Guglielmi. “In addition to our industry-leading partner program and competitive pricing, one of Code42’s biggest advantages is the speed in which we bring innovative technology to market; for instance, our first-of-its-kind market Git offering protects corporate software code amid a rising problem of source code exfiltration. These kinds of differentiators not only help Code42 stand out with our valuable product for channel partners, but also solidifies us as an Insider Risk Management leader.”
Cross-industry organizations continue to be challenged by effective protection from insider risk events as the workforce continues to prioritize digital collaboration and hybrid working environments. In fact, nearly all (96%) companies today experience challenges in protecting corporate data from insider risks with many concerned about the lack of visibility into the types of valuable data – IP, source code, product plans and customer information – leaving their organizations. Code42 helps organizations speed detection and response to data exposed by insiders by giving security teams streamlined access to its flagship IRM products- Code42® Incydr™ and the Code42 Instructor™ micro-learning solution – through its broad ecosystem of channel, advisory and technology partners. Code42 also boasts a robust ecosystem of technology partners including SentinelOne, CyberArk, LogRhythm, Okta, Palo Alto Networks, Rapid7, Splunk, Sumo Logic, Tines and others.
