Cyber criminals are adapting techniques to find new and more effective ways to steal customer personal and financial information and as organizations continue to struggle with the ever-increasing challenges of collecting, using, disclosing and protecting personal information, Glasswall's unique approach to eliminating the risk of targeted file-based cyber attacks. Through its patented technology, Glasswall is helping organizations to mitigate risk by ensuring that electronic files entering an organization manage 100% of risk.

Glasswall not only provides complete protection against the most sophisticated, previously unseen threats, but puts security professionals back in control.

"Its globally patented technology is truly innovative and will be a disruptor in the world of security and content management."

Formerly a lawyer with Clifford Chance, Plink co-founded a SaaS company in early 2000, which was sold to PLC.
