Data-centric Security Startup Datiphy Appoints Ted Ho as CEO
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) September 15, 2015 -- Datiphy™ Inc., a pioneering startup in data behavior analysis and security, today announced that Ted Ho, founding investor and board director, has been appointed to lead the company as its chief executive officer. James Lin, Datiphy’s founder and former CEO, will remain on the board of the company and continue to drive core technology innovation as the chief technology officer.
Datiphy is bringing to market an innovative data-centric security technology developed to visualize data asset activities and record the context in which they interact. Datiphy provides continuous database security and activity monitoring of billions of transactions per day with powerful engines that extract and index the critical contextual assets of each transaction. Security teams manage the Datiphy platform through an advanced command portal providing centralized management and natural language querying to quickly verify threats and discover the extent of a breach for greatly accelerated resolution. The company holds six U.S. issued patents.
“Our mission is to provide maximum visibility to what attackers want most – your data. The security focus has traditionally been on perimeters and policies, but existing technologies can’t keep pace with the variety of ways data is being accessed in the enterprise because of trends like mobility and private, public and hybrid cloud adoption. The end result is that the business’s most important assets are exposed,” said Ho. “As CEO, I’m dedicated to showing our clients how the Datiphy platform can audit and protect their critical data resources and eager to lead this company as it embarks on the next phase of growth.”
As the former co-founder and accomplished CEO of Gigamon, Ted brings a wealth of successful startup experience to Datiphy. He has a strong reputation as a technology executive with the ability to drive innovation and deliver results in a high growth, venture-backed organization. In his role as Datiphy’s Founder & CTO, Mr. Lin will continue to innovate and create new ways to visualize how data lives, moves and interacts within the enterprise. Lin will also act as an evangelist, educating the industry on the need for data-centric security methodologies.
“I am pleased and excited to announce Ted as CEO. His leadership will allow us to continue to innovate and eliminate the breach-to-discovery gap that is causing massive damage to organizations and their brand reputation,” said Lin. “Organizations will continue to be attacked by all kinds of nefarious actors. Our goal is to pinpoint when the breach begins and to provide intuitive context around the attack to stop it before significant damage is done.”
Datiphy audits every data transaction rather than a sample of transactions thereby dramatically improving the accuracy of data analysis and visualization of asset relationships and behaviors. Analytics can also be exported as feeds to other security tools like governance and compliance tools, fraud detection or SIEM, ensuring their policies are based upon highly reliable data sets and not methods that produce false alarms.
