Concentric Inc., a leading vendor
of intelligent AI-based
solutions for protecting business-critical
data, announced it has won a 2021 Artificial Intelligence
Excellence Award for its Risk Distance natural language processing analysis
technology in the Business Intelligence Group's Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards program.
Concentric's Semantic Intelligence automates unstructured
and structured data security using deep learning to categorize data,
uncover business criticality and reduce risk. Its Risk Distance analysis
technology uses the baseline security practices observed for each data category
to spot security anomalies in individual files. It compares documents with peers in the same category to identify risk
from oversharing, third party access, and wrong location or misclassification.
Organizations benefit from the expertise of content owners without intrusive
classification mandates, with no rules, regex or policy maintenance needed.
"We are so proud to name Concentric as a winner in our
inaugural Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards program," said Maria
Jimenez, chief nominations officer for Business Intelligence Group. "It was
clear to our judges that Concentric's Risk Distance technology is using AI to
improve the lives of their customers and employees. Congratulations to the
entire team!"
"It is rewarding
to receive the Business Intelligence Group's AI Excellence Award, and to be
recognized by the program's panel of judges," said Karthik Krishnan, Concentric
CEO. "Concentric's Semantic Intelligence solution uses advanced
deep-learning technology to solve the problem of unstructured and structured data
security - both in the cloud and on-premises. It delivers the industry's best
autonomous data discovery and categorization capability for complete data
protection that gives enterprises the tools they need to effectively manage
risk. Offered as a SaaS platform, the
solution's time-to-value is days, not weeks or months as with other solutions."
Customers use Semantic Intelligence to discover and manage
risks to privacy-sensitive and regulated data, such as customer data or
personal health information. They also rely on the solution for their
zero-trust data access governance programs, where the solution autonomously
evaluates access based on document contents and meaning, not file folder
locations, end-user markup or other unreliable access control alternatives.
Semantic Intelligence protects all types of data, ranging from intellectual
property to financial information to sensitive human resources files -
continuously and autonomously.
