Concentric announced that it has extended its AI-based data access governance solution to help organizations protect business-critical data from the waves of ransomware attacks currently afflicting organizations across the globe.

Semantic Intelligence from Concentric autonomously and continuously profiles data access and usage activities to help organizations prepare for, detect, and recover from ransomware attacks.

These industry-first profiling capabilities protect data by bringing three powerful weapons to bear on the ransomware fight: least-privileges access control, in-progress attack detection, and full visibility into the specific content compromised by an attack.

"Until now, there was no practical way to control and understand the possible blast radius of a ransomware attack before it occurs," said Karthik Krishnan, Concentric CEO. "Enterprises often don't know what sensitive information they have, who can access it, or whether it's been compromised. With Semantic Intelligence, security teams now have powerful options to prepare for, respond to, and recover from ransomware attacks. Data governance with Concentric's unique content insights is the key to better ransomware defenses."

By automating least-privileges data access governance, organizations can harden their data defenses by limiting what a potential attacker can access.

During an attack, Concentric's data profiling gives security professionals vital information they need to focus on the data most at risk.
