i-Scan enables organizations to proactively
identify sensitive data points, that if addressed could
significantly reduce reputational and financial risk in the event
of a cyberattack
AUSTIN, Texas and LONDON, July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Integreon, a global provider of legal,
creative and business outsourced solutions and a pioneer in the
cyber incident response (CIR) space, announced today the launch of
an early adopter program for its latest cyber technology offering,
Integreon i-Scan. This powerful and easy to implement solution
scans an organization's data locations to generate a heat map
detailing sensitive data and potential risk levels in the event of
a cyberattack. i-Scan follows the successful development and launch
of CyberHawk-AI, the industry's first machine learning (ML)-based
data mining tool that speeds up the manual review process without
compromising quality or contextual understanding.
"Sensitive data is ultimately what the threat actors are after
in hopes of lucrative extortion," said Frank Luzsicza, Founder & CEO, Blue INK
Security, a participant in the early adopter program. "Many
organizations lack visibility as to where their most sensitive data
is stored and what security controls are in place to protect it.
i-Scan is the first solution we have seen providing that visibility
and we are excited about sharing it with our clients."
As data breaches continue to rise, the exfiltration of sensitive
data has increasingly been a driver of ransomware adversely
impacting many businesses. Threat actors' ability to gain access to
that data puts them at a significant advantage, enabling them to
extort astronomical sums of money for its release. Most prevention
strategies have historically addressed infrastructure security and
related vulnerabilities. Integreon recognized an unaddressed need
to help organizations understand and proactively manage the
potential risk of their sensitive data.
All organizations, both large and small, are facing attacks and
the cost associated with a breach continues to increase. According
to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach report for 2023, organizations
with fewer than 5,000 employees reported that the average impact of
a data breach increased nearly 20 percent last year and the cost
between $3-5 million.
i-Scan is a generative AI-based solution that scans a client's
data locations to identify and map sensitive data and where it is
stored. While it searches for a pre-determined set of sensitive
data points, i-Scan's large language model (LLM) can easily be
trained to scan for additional bespoke data points relevant to an
organization. Having an outline of the internal data stored in
their systems, organizations can now improve their data governance
by making informed risk mitigating decisions, such as removing or
further securing sensitive digital information. If threat actors
are unable to find and exfiltrate high-value sensitive data, they
will be left with minimal leverage to demand payment.
"We harnessed the experience of reviewing over 35 million
breached documents in the past seven years and the collective
experience of our cyber incident response team in the development
of i-Scan," said Anshu Gupta,
President of Integreon and cyber solutions business leader. "As
cyber threats continue to plague businesses of all sizes, we see
i-Scan as a simple yet highly effective tool to decrease the
fallout from a cyberattack."
Participants in the early adopter program include key cyber
stakeholders such as insurance carriers, digital forensics and
incident response (DFIR) firms, managed security service providers
(MSSP) and law firms. Early adopters are actively using i-Scan with
their clients to assess risk exposure related to stored data to
take preventative actions. Following the early adopter program,
i-Scan will be widely available in September
2024.
i-Scan is available for deployment on-premises or as a
cloud-based solution capable of scanning Linux and Windows
computers and servers, MacOS computers, OneDrive, SharePoint and
Google Drive.
