Startup Ionic Security takes the sweat out of securing documents

/in

Well-funded startup Ionic Security has launched a data-protection service that guards encrypted documents no matter where they go until access is authorized by its policy engine based in the cloud, making it possible to protect data even if the files that contain it fall into the wrong hands.

Ionic controls access to the keys needed to unlock encrypted documents so only those who are meant to access the data have the ability to decrypt it. In addition, the service sets policies on what can be done with the data once it’s accessed.

Startup takes the effort out of endpoint detection and response

While the service uses its own behavioral analysis, code analysis, and base-lining tools, it relies on Bit9+CarbonBlack for endpoint sensors. It gathers threat intelligence on its own and supplements it with the resources of Threat Recon, Farsight Security and Bit9+CarbonBlack’s Threat Intelligence Cloud.
