Concentric AI Data Security Posture Management Solution Honored in Black Unicorn Awards Program for 2022

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Concentric AI, a leading vendor of intelligent AI-based solutions for autonomous data security posture management, today announced that it has earned a Baby Black Unicorn Award for 2022.

Concentric AI competed against many of the industry’s leading providers of cybersecurity products and services for this prestigious award. The term “Black Unicorn” signifies a cybersecurity company that has the potential to reach a $1 billion dollar market value as determined by private or public investment in 1-3 years, and these awards showcase those companies with this kind of incredible potential in the cybersecurity marketplace. Baby Black Unicorns, award program officials predict, could be worth a $1 billion dollar market value in 3-5 years.

“It is rewarding to be honored in the Black Unicorn Awards Program, especially since those recognized were named by an independent panel of cybersecurity industry experts,” said Karthik Krishnan, Founder and CEO, Concentric AI. “Concentric AI’s data security posture management solution (DSPM) gives organizations visibility into their sensitive data across datasets and locations, as well as a consolidated view into the risk associated with inconsistent access privileges, permissions, activity, and location to protect their data from loss. Organizations using Concentric AI benefit from the company’s AI-assisted deep learning autonomous data security solution to reduce their data risk by discovering, evaluating, and remediating security issues.”

The company’s unique deep learning solution autonomously and accurately finds sensitive content, assesses risk, and remediates security issues, allowing organizations across industries to meet their data security needs for the first time.

Concentric AI’s Semantic Intelligence™ automates unstructured and structured data security using deep learning to categorize data, uncover business criticality and reduce risk.
