Concentric AI announced
it has partnered with CTERA, a leading provider of edge-to-cloud file services.
CTERA seamlessly integrates Concentric AI's Semantic Intelligence solution
into customer environments by deploying an edge filer that acts as a cache
server for Concentric AI's data security posture management capabilities.
Together, the partnership helps joint customers find, evaluate, store, and
protect their growing volumes of personal, health, and financial data - no
matter where it resides. This allows enterprises to meet their demanding
regulatory requirements and prevent sensitive data loss.
"Concentric AI's advanced
deep-learning technology solves the ongoing challenges of cloud data security
and improves data security posture management," said Karthik Krishnan,
Concentric AI CEO. "Our seamless integration with CTERA provides joint
customers with complex cloud environments with a simple, autonomous solution
that can discover sensitive and regulated data, and deliver a comprehensive
picture of where these critical data elements reside. Our joint customers get
the AI-based tools they need for a complete and accurate picture of their most
sensitive data assets."
"We believe that data
management needs to evolve from IOPS to DataOps, from being focused solely on
storage performance to a more holistic approach that considers the data
itself," said Oded Nagel, CTERA Chief Strategy Officer. "As data continues to
grow, it's becoming increasingly important to use AI to help manage it
effectively. Our partnership with Concentric AI allows our joint customers to
harness the power of AI to more efficiently manage, protect, and control their
data, from edge to cloud."
Concentric AI's DSPM solution scans organizations' data,
detects sensitive or business critical content, identifies the most appropriate
classification category, and automatically tags the data. Concentric AI uses
artificial intelligence (AI) to improve discovery and classification accuracy
and efficiency to avoid endless regex rules and inaccurate end user labeling.
In addition, Concentric AI can monitor and autonomously identify risk to
financial and other data from inappropriate permissioning, wrong entitlements,
risky sharing, and unauthorized access. It can automatically remediate
permissions and sharing issues or leverage other security solutions and cloud
APIs to quickly and continuously protect exposed data.
Concentric AI'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 of the same type to identify risk from
oversharing, third-party access, wrong location, or misclassification.
Organizations benefit from the expertise of content owners without intrusive
classification mandates, with no rules, regex, or policy maintenance needed.
