We attended RSA 2014.
Big Data was a big theme. Collect everything and find anomalies. The pitch — our solution collects more and finds anomalies faster.
Standing out from the big data big noise was the keynote of Hewlett-Packard’s Senior Vice President Art Gilliland, who explained that the best bang for the security buck was found in the human factors – security training and processes.
Walking the floor we saw one solution that implemented this theme. All the big data guys offer a DLP solution that will find all the mistakes that people make using outbound email. Errors like sending sensitive information without encryption or sending internal documents to unauthorized third parties. Titus takes a different approach. Titus provides users with a content classification interface and then Titus processes the transaction consistent with the user classification. Rather than hoping to find and remediate poor user decisions with a DLP solution, Titus helps users make better decisions. Titus shares its data with DLP systems to backstop the employee. At Iconix we believe that Titus has implemented the right approach to outbound messaging security — emphasize better employee decision-making and backstop the employees.
This is the Iconix approach for inbound email. Spearphishers deceive people into making bad email decisions that compromise security. In the Iconix system, employees use SP Guard to make better email processing decisions. Using SP Guard, IT can determine a list of trusted senders and provide this information to staff in a simple and highly effective manner.
