Tesla source code was breached by an employee, exfiltrating over 300,000 files for personal gain. Apple and Samsun
CSC needed to ensure that their source code was not stolen or lost. A costly virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution, was implemented to prevent misuse and add accountability for developers working with source code.
Data loss prevention (DLP), the antiquated data protection model, takes a ‘manage by rule’ approach where all data flows freely unless the security team has written a rule to specifically protect the data.
The second flavor of ransomware should only be an annoyance to organizations as a proper backup system should be able to restore to a point in time prior to the ransomware infection.
Over a week ago, security researchers Vinny Troia and Bob Diachenko uncovered four billion records on 1.2 billion people on an unsecured Elastisearch server.
With SecureCircle’s DASB, organizations can eliminate unauthorized application threats.
Cisco Systems sued former senior employees for stealing thousands of files containing confidential information.
A year ago, digital hygiene recommendations would have been updating your password, backing up your data, making sure all your apps & operating systems were upgraded.
IBM recently reported in its fifth annual Cyber Resilient Organization Report 2020 that the average enterprise deploys 45 cybersecurity tools. Additionally, enterprises using over 50 tools ranked themselves 8% lower in their ability to detect threats and 7% lower in their defensive capabilities. Having more tools is no
Security Weekly hosts and the CEO of SecureCircle, Jeff Capone, dive into how we can have conditional data access for endpoints. "Most folks think about using Conditional access for SaaS applications or access to specific data sources. However, once that data is accessed how do you continuously enforce conditional acce
When deployed in a best practice configuration, SecureCircle can secure source code on endpoints without development teams needing to change how they operate or interact with code, IDEs, and development tools. This whitepaper focuses on SecureCircle best practices for securing source code in development environments.
QSI obtains customer intellectual property (IP) such as designs, roadmaps, costs, legal documents, and schedules. Customers are concerned about the safety of their IP. The IP includes traditional Office files, source code, mechanical design files, photos, videos, and more.
Security Weekly hosts and SecureCircle dive into Zero Trust DLP. Zero Trust Data Security is a very popular security architecture that is being adopted by many organizations. A zero-trust solution requires the owner of the data to always be in control at all times.
App, User, and Data, but it's all about the data! Discovering and classifying data to protect it is tough. What if you can protect all of your data? Jeff Capone, CEO and Co-founder at SecureCircle, joins Security Weekly to discuss how to protect all of your data and stop asking "Where's your data?". If we can protect
Security Weekly hosts and SecureCircle's CEO, Jeff Capone, discuss Zero Trust Data Security. SecureCircle delivers a SaaS-based cybersecurity service that extends Zero Trust security to data on the endpoint. Ensure all your data is secure, without impacting the business.
SecureCircle helps eliminate data breaches from malicious external attacks such as Palmerworm and malicious and accidental insiders.
The road to a granted software patent continues to be a long, frustrating, and expensive process. In just a few years, old software can be replaced even before a patent application is complete. Typically, patent applications take about four years to complete, which is very time consuming for most companies.
Some enterprises I've worked with that have deployed a zero trust (trust no one) model have still experienced data breaches. With zero trust implemented correctly, data breaches can be eliminated or minimized to small datasets.

2020 has by far been one of the most challenging years for many of us. With everything that has been occurring in our world, it most certainly has brought us a collective amount of uncertainty. Overall, this year has been a wild ride and will most definitely go down in history.
For a true Zero-Trust environment, it isn’t enough to think about data in cloud services and SaaS applications. We also must protect, control and audit data that egresses from these services onto endpoints.

As the calendar turns to a new year and we gladly put 2020 behind us, here are a few predictions for the new year.
Regular attendees are expecting to join the main Cybersecurity Conferences to be held this year even though they will mostly be in a virtual mode. SecureCircle lists here the top 10 conferences that you cannot miss.
Many people think about using Conditional access for SaaS applications or access to specific data sources. However, once that data is accessed, how do you continuously enforce conditional access "to the data" on an endpoint?
Even with costly and complex data protection programs in place, data breaches and insider threats are still continually occurring. A reimagined approach to data security needs to be taken to mitigate these threats. Zero Trust is a security concept that requires the owner to have full control over every aspect of their
DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solutions haven’t stopped data breach growth. IBM reports the average total cost of a data breach reached $3.86 million USD in 2020. DLP solutions only block or encrypt data that tries to leave the endpoint.
Discovering and classifying data to protect it is challenging. Many of us tend to wonder, “Where is our data?” However, what many of us do not realize is that it does not matter where our data is, but how it is being protected.
What is Zero Trust? Many companies have adopted Zero Trust as their security framework. Zero Trust requires all users, even those inside the organization's enterprise network, to be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validating security configuration and posture before being granted or keeping access.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge.
Data security is a measure twice, cut once type of activity. Mistakes in data security are expensive. IBM's recent Cost of a Data Breach report states that the US's average data breach costs companies $3.84 million. Many data security solutions have a fatal flaw that creates a risk for data loss.
Zero Trust Data Security is a prevalent security architecture that is being adopted by many organizations today. A zero-trust solution requires the owner of the data to always be in control at all times. Before Zero Trust protection was even in the picture, DLP was the leading data security solution
Joining the Cybrary Podcast this week is Jeff Capone, CEO & Co-founder of SecureCircle. In this episode, Jeff, Mike, and Jonathan discuss zero-trust policies, why people use encryption, and what it would mean for data access, privacy, and security if we could make the need for passwords obsolete.
FSC has been mandated to protect sensitive financial and personal information for mandatory compliance requirements. In particular, FSC wants to protect and track sensitive data as soon as it is accessed from their SQL databases and transformed into flat files stored on their file servers.
The secure solution to grant access to the house without giving up control requires a broker to decide when the door should be unlocked. With today’s modern physical security tools, biometrics grants access.
Today we can experience a whole new world of encryption due to a man who led the way in cryptography. Thanks to Whitfield Diffie and his invention of public-key cryptography, we started down a path to provide privacy over digital communications and commerce.
SecureCircle measures successful implementation in days and weeks. Our customers have complained that DLP and Information Rights Management (IRM) solutions have taken quarters to years to implement, if at all.
By deploying an opt-out, protect by default solution, organizations can reduce the amount of time spent on maintaining DLP solutions and reduce data breaches caused by incomplete, insufficient, outdated, or conflicting policy rules. SecureCircle's DASB prevents data breaches and insider threats.
