Global Velocity Inc., a developer of Information-Centric Security (ICS) solutions, has teamed up with IBM to make Global Velocity’s Securio platform available in the IBM Cloud marketplace. IBM clients can protect their sensitive and confidential information stores from theft or loss, and manage compliance and governance issues such as HIPPA, PCI, and PII, whether data is stored inside the enterprise or in third-party cloud-based services.
Securio secures data from the inside-out by hardening points of entry to the data center and network. Since Securio Cloud operates in the cloud to inspect all Internet-bound traffic for sensitive data, it allows employees at businesses and government agencies of all sizes to use their preferred devices and cloud-based services that sit outside the company network.
“Despite the growing number of high profile data breaches and the anxiety they’re causing among organizations, too much information security spending still focuses on the prevention of attacks, while not enough has been done to improve information monitoring and response capabilities,” says Greg Sullivan, CEO, Global Velocity. “Cyber attackers are in the business of information theft for profit and driven primarily by the goal to make money. We need to drive up their cost of doing business without significantly increasing our costs, both in terms of dollars and man-hours, to preventing breaches. The priority must shift to protecting information from the inside-out.”
