What Catches My Eye
These are products, people, and ideas that I find interesting. Unless otherwise noted, I don’t receive compensation; I simply find these interesting (in a good way) and hope you will too.
I saw exabeam at the recent, smaller cybersecuity conference. Having been a product manager for a global offering, what I found really great about exabeam is that it had the ability to:
– map all PII to any standard, worldwide. PCI, GDPR, ISO27001, you name it.
– track where PII is going; for example, when an employee sends customer information to a third party via email.
This allows a company to know what’s really going on with their PII.
Zecurity Hardwall
Zecurity takes a novell approach to thwarting threat actors. It reads the microprocessor opcodes that make up binary files and streams and disables any opcodes that write, create, edit, or update any file. It essentially makes payloads impotent by not allowing them access to storage at the opcode level.
It took an experienced assembly language programmer to come up with the idea and realize. In a world of python programmers and web developers, this approach seems like it came out of left field when it’s more back to the future. Also, the software is in ROM firmware, so it can’t be changed by a threat actor
It’s a unique take on deep packet inspection.
