30 Emerging Companies to watch 2020
CIO Bulletin
In today’s data-driven environments, most organizations cannot function without data because it’s become a primary asset found at the core of most business operations and decisions. Imagine waking up one morning and finding all data has disappeared due to a breach, equipment failure, or natural disaster. Any of these events would render a business unable to function. Data security ensures routine backups are made and available in the event original data is otherwise lost or inaccessible, ensuring business continuity takes place. It’s critical to manage who can access your sensitive files, control what they can do with that data, and track your intellectual property, wherever it travels. VERA attaches military-grade encryption, security and policy directly to the data itself, giving you granular control over your data, no matter where it goes. VERA provides secure file collaboration.

Users gain the confidence that their data can only be accessed by those they choose, even after it’s open. VERA allows you to collaborate securely while maintaining the seamless user experience that highly productive users demand.

With strong encryption, usage policies, and access controls, VERA ensures only authorized users can access your critical information. Recently, there has been a huge increase in data breaches caused by misconfigured access to and exploited vulnerabilities in cloud storage environments. Cybersecurity companies, like Digital Shadows, DarkMatter, Check Point Software and many others, have released their annual cloud security reports citing how misconfigurations are a growing concern that needs to be addressed immediately. Gartner goes as far as to say that 80% of data breaches will be due to misconfigurations and mismanaged credentials, and 95% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault. This is becoming a common problem. Microsoft, MongoDB, Elastic search, Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) servers, Box and Rubrik have had misconfiguration issues in the past that have exposed the data of thousands of companies. Unsecured Amazon Web Service (AWS) S3 storage buckets are perhaps the most frequently reported on files that are left unsecured, since they allow anyone using a search engine to access, download and, in some cases, even write to an organization’s cloud account.
