As 2023 comes to a close, I can’t help but reflect on the convergence of events that have elevated data security to a top enterprise concern. When we founded Concentric AI in 2019, we felt strongly that data remains the most vulnerable threat surface. With data volumes growing exponentially, data sprawled across the enterprises cloud and on-premises data environments and sensitive data now spanning everything from intellectual property to financial data to PII/PCI/PHI, we knew that there had to be a better way to protect your data than writing rules, matching regex patterns or requiring an army of people to operationalize data security at scale.
Through this journey, we couldn’t be prouder of our achievements in helping diverse customers – from financial services to high tech to manufacturing to higher ed discover, monitor and protect their data at petabyte-scale with ease.
See below for recent highlights. I wish you a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year.
Best regards,
Karthik Krishnan
