IONU Security, Inc., Launches Groundbreaking Data-Centric Security that Locks Out Malicious Hackers and Unauthorized UsersLONGMONT, Colo., July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- IONU Security, Inc., a provider of innovative security that protects critical, distributed information wherever it resides or travels, has announced its Data-centric Security Platform™. IONU's patented security protects data at all times while allowing it to flow freely and securely anywhere, without the need for plug-ins, proxies, gateways or any changes in user behavior. IONU's data isolation creates a logically separate and secure "zone" where data is insulated from the outside world. A suite of secure applications allow users to communicate, share and store protected data, and the platform secures any third-party cloud applications such as Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. In addition, the IONU Data-centric Platform protects sensitive data residing on or traveling to and from mobile devices within and outside of the firewall. With IONU's new Key Management technology, no single entity carries sufficient information to access encrypted data. A combination of proprietary technologies ensures only registered and authenticated users can securely access and edit files across the entire business ecosystem. For example, superior authentication technologies such as hashing and salting, combined with user- and device-specific controls, safeguard against authentication attacks such as "brute force" and "man in the middle." Cyber thieves are pulling off large-scale, sophisticated hacks in alarming numbers. The latest: a breach in the U.S. government's IT systems, risking sensitive data and the personal information of over 21 million people both inside and outside the government. There have been many others, including the high-profile attacks against Sony Pictures, Staples, Anthem, Target, and organizations can expect more to cme. According to "The Global State of Information Security® Survey 2015," released by PwC, , the number of reported information security incidents around the world rose 48 percent to 42.8 million in 2014, which is the equivalent of 117,339 attacks per day. Detected security incidents have increased 66 percent year-over-year since 2009, the survey found. "It's not surprising that reported security breach incidents and the associated financial impact continue to rise year-over-year," PwC's Global and U.S. Advisory Cybersecurity Leader David Burg said of the study's findings, adding that "the actual magnitude of these breaches is much higher when considering the nature of detection and reporting of these incidents." It is increasingly clear that traditional security solutions, which are threat-centric and focus on protecting perimeters, are no match for today's sophisticated cyberattacks. IONU delivers an innovative approach to information security, via transparent encryption and data isolation that protects data even if it is compromised by an advanced malware attack, an insider attack, or if data is distributed beyond an organization's control through careless action. IONU protected data is virtually immune to data leakage and compromise. "When we set out to develop a Data-centric Security platform, we knew traditional solutions weren't keeping pace with the dynamic requirements of securing distributed data. In fact, 40 percent of all data loss occurs via third-party networks and vendor supply chains where data is distributed and unprotected," says Dave Bennett, CTO of IONU Security, Inc. "We built our platform from the ground up to let data flow freely and securely, anywhere it needs to travel or reside, so businesses can take full advantage of the cloud, mobility and existing workflows across their entire business ecosystem. Equally important, our platform is easy to use. All the underlying encryption required to protect data happens ubiquitously, behind the scenes, so that the user barely even knows it's there."
