Concentric AI

Protecting remote workers and the tools they use to communicate has become a top priority for cybersecurity experts. Enter Concentric AI, which used Black Hat USA 2022 to launch a new security offering to protect sensitive data across popular business email and messaging platforms, including e-mail, Slack and Microsoft Teams

According to the company, the new capabilities are available as part of the Concentric Semantic Intelligence platform and they autonomously evaluate and manage data security to help security professionals.

“E-mail, Slack and Teams are double-edged swords,” said Karthik Krishnan, CEO of San Jose, Calif.-based Concentric. “They’re unmatched as productivity tools, but they also create huge potential for data loss. Malicious actions or human error can easily expose business-critical data to unauthorized users. With Concentric, employees can continue collaborating and keep their operations humming without exposing the organization to regulatory violations, intellectual property loss or data breaches.”
