Cyber Advisors Joins Zecurion Advantage Partner Program

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Cyber Advisors is the latest addition to ZAPP–the Zecurion Advantage Partner Program.

Since 1997, Minnesota-based Cyber Advisors (CA) has been providing information technology, e-business services, and solutions that work and grow with their clients. Consistently ranked one of the fastest growing companies by CRN and Inc., CA takes a true 360-degree view of technology and business, applying their knowledge and expertise to build, support, and use technology that enriches their clients and enhances performance. Key practice areas include security, storage, virtualization, DR/backup, Microsoft consulting, and outsourced managed services.

“Auditing and compliance used to be issues specific to the financial and healthcare sectors, but lately they have been spilling over into other industries,” says Cyber Advisors president and CEO Shane Vinup. “There are many security products on the market, but they don’t give companies the control they need. Zecurion is the only single-bullet security solution that fits in terms of price, and allows users to work when and where they want while maintaining corporate control over the data.”

 

“We’ve been aggressive in terms of creating a security solution that blocks, controls, and encrypts sensitive information, and we’ve been equally aggressive at creating a partner program that will attract high caliber partners like Cyber Advisors,” says Zecurion CEO Alexey Raevsky. “We’re pleased that Cyber Advisors selected Zecurion to be their security partner.”

 

You can learn more about Zecurion and Cyber Advisors at the Secure360 conference today and tomorrow in St. Paul, MN.

Zecurion Captures Unique Honor in UK

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Zecurion has emerged as one of two organizations–chosen from a field of 75 submissions–selected as winners of a competition sponsored by IT recruitment firm Acumin. The Critical Security Solutions initiative was launched to address a perceived lack of innovation among security vendors and security products in the UK. The other winner was Modulo–a specialist in governance, risk and compliance management.

Chris Batten, managing director of Acumin, said: “Both vendors were able to demonstrate that their products had the innovation that our panel was looking for and could add value to the UK information security market.”

The unique honor comes with a unique award. Both Zecurion and Modulo will “be given advice on defining a UK market entry plan, help with sales and marketing and introductions to appropriate resellers. They will also receive free sponsorship of the Risk and Network Threat (Rant) forum, an end user security forum organised by Acumin.”

Zecurion is pleased to have been recognized with this distinctive honor, and is looking forward to capitalizing on the valuable opportunity to extend its market presence in the UK and provide UK customers with innovative and effective solutions to protect data and guard against internal information security threats.

Protecting Sensitive Information from Inside Threats

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

I had the privilege of joining host Tom D’Auria for the weekly IMI-TechTalk radio show once again this week. The show airs weekly on KFNX AM 1100 out of Phoenix, AZ at 3pm local time. Because Arizona doesn’t play Daylight Savings with the rest of the country, though, that means that half the year its on Mountain time and the other half its on Pacific time–so for now the show airs at 6pm Eastern / 5pm Central. If you are not in the Phoenix listening area, you can also listen to the show streamed live via the Web.

The topic of discussion this week was Protecting Sensitive Information from Inside Threats. Tom and I talked about the prevailing perception that information security is an ‘us vs. them’ or ‘inside vs. outside’ battle, while the reality is that internal employees pose a much larger threat than malware or malicious attacks from outside. The default security model relies on simple file and folder permissions to determine access rights for sensitive information, but offer no safeguards or protections regarding what the authorized user does with the data once its accessed.

Zecurion Nominated as ‘Breakthrough Technology Vendor’

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Following directly on the heels of the 2010 RSA Security Conference in San Francisco, Zecurion made the trip to Los Angeles to attend the XChange Solution Provider event hosted by EverythingChannel. The audience at XChange Solution Provider is unique–giving Zecurion an opportunity to meet with solution providers and potential channel partners interested in working with and representing Zecurion as a partner.

The event was a tremendous success, capped off by a unique honor. The attendees of the XChange Solution Provider event are asked to nominate vendors for various categories of awards. In a field dominated by established and respected names like Microsoft, HP, Xerox, Lenovo, and Dell, the attendees chose Zecurion as one of the nominees for the Breakthrough Technology Vendor award.

The criteria for selection in this category include:

  • New or enhanced product (introduced to the channel in the past 6 months)
  • Product creates new revenue streams/business opportunities for me
  • Product I would want to represent
  • Product contributes to solving real business technology needs
  • Strong market opportunity for this product

While Zecurion did not ultimately win the award, the recognition of being nominated shows that attendees were impressed with what they saw from Zecurion, and validates that Zecurion has a lot to offer potential partners looking for products with strong market potential, and an immediate revenue opportunity.

A Look Back at the 2010 RSA Security Conference

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

The 2010 RSA Security Conference was a great opportunity for us to meet potential new customers and partners and share Zecurion products and Zecurion’s vision for protecting data with information security professionals from around the world.

At times it was a little frustrating to be solicited by so many other vendors–selling employee recruiting services, public relations services, or working to get us to commit to attend other events and trade shows. Vendors of other events and trade shows in particular should be sensitive to the fact that we paid a fair amount of money to represent Zecurion with a booth at the RSA Security Conference, and that we did that so we could market Zecurion to decision makers, potential customers, and information security professionals in general–not to make it easier for solicitors to find us and steal our time.

Thankfully, those encounters were not the majority. We enjoyed meeting with and interacting with all of you who stopped by our booth. We appreciated the opportunity to share what Zecurion does, and we look forward to working with many of the people we met in San Francisco.

Throughout the week, I wandered the exhibition floor checking out the hundreds of booths. It occurred to me that there are really only a handful of security problems for organizations to deal with–maybe ten. Yet, there were probably a thousand companies represented at the RSA Security Conference, all pitching their own unique approach or potential solution to one of those ten issues. Some of the products and services are innovative and have tremendous potential, while many of them will fail to truly meet the needs they’re intended for, or  live up to the hype in the marketing brochures.

We appreciate that you, too, may have had a similar thought as you perused the rows and rows of exhibitor booths. We appreciate that the RSA Security Conference is a vast treasure of information about products and services, but that it can also be overwhelming and that it may be hard for you to separate the hype from the real solutions and make intelligent choices for securing and protecting data.

We hope you had a chance to stop by the Zecurion booth and give us a chance to answer your questions about protecting your data and securing your organization against insider threats. If you did not stop by to see us, or if you were not even at the RSA Security Conference, or even if you did stop and visit us but you still have questions, please feel free to contact us for more information. We are passionate about helping our customers solve data security challenges and we look forward to working with you.

Virtual Symposium: Web Application Security

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Join Zecurion this Thursday, February 18th at 2pm Eastern for the SC World Congress 24/7 Virtual Symposium: Web Application Security.

Here is an overview of the event from the site:

“Cybercriminals no longer rely on operating system vulnerabilities to raid corporate networks ripe with sensitive information. Today they need only scan websites for there over-abundance of vulnerabilities to launch their attacks. Indeed, most data theft attacks enlist these unplugged holes. But, building what some in the industry call ‘hack-resistant’ applications, takes planning, time, knowledge and myriad resources. But, many experts note, building security in from the ground up is well worth the effort. However, what about those applications that are up and running? We talk to experts about the trials and tribulations of safeguarding web applications, finding out practical steps for protecting this too-often-used entre’ into business networks.”

Stop by and “visit” us at Zecurion’s virtual booth.

Providing Data Protection Solutions for your Customers

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

What do e-mail lists, business information, customer contact lists, employee records and financial information all suddenly have in common?

Answer: They are the Top 5 things stolen by employees after leaving a job, according to a recent survey conducted by the Ponemon Institute, a Tucson, Ariz.-based research group whose survey was reported on by The Washington Post.

This is an excerpt from the intro to Security from the Inside: Your Opportunity in the Information Protection and Control Market (IPC).The paper cites other alarming statistics like:

“Nearly 60 percent of employees who quit a job or were asked to leave over the last year stole some form of company data”

More important than the statistics on data breaches and information theft is the opportunity that the statistics create for service providers and independent consultants to deliver solutions to their customers. The Zecurion partner program is an ideal alliance that allows you to leverage the products and services of Zecurion to provide superior data protection solutions.

ZAPP!

Managing Data Against Insider Threats

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Join Zecurion at the SC Magazine Virtual Symposium: Managing Data Against Insider Threats on Thursday, January 21, 2010.

SC Magazine describes the event:

As companies have been forced to layoff hundreds of employees, identity management, data leak prevention and encryption solutions certainly have regained interest this year. Not only are corporate leaders concerned that embittered former employees may steal data to sell to cybercriminals or bring to a competing employer for use, they’re also worried that those left behind – nervous about the next spate of layoffs – may begin funneling off information while still there. Whether their actions are intentional or accidental, insiders are a risk and companies must protect their critical assets against them. We learn from experts how it’s done.

John Johnson, Sr. Security Program Manager, John Deere Corporate Computer Security, will be a featured speaker.

Click here to learn more and to register for the event- Virtual Symposium: Managing Data Against Insider Threats. Make sure to stop by Zecurion’s virtual booth and learn more about how we can help you manage data to protect against insider security threats.
