SAN JOSE, Calif., April 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Balbix, Inc., provider of the security industry’s first breach avoidance platform, today announced that The Business Intelligence Group has named BreachControl™ the winner of the 2018 Fortress Cyber Security Awards in the Analytics/Breach Prevention category. The inaugural program sought to identify and reward the world’s leading companies and products that are working to keep our data and electronic assets safe among a growing threat from hackers.
Balbix BreachControl™ is the industry’s first system to leverage specialized artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning to provide enterprises with continuous predictive assessment and control of breach risk. Visualized via a searchable and clickable risk heat-map, BreachControl is designed for CISOs, CIOs, IT security teams and managed security service providers (MSSP) who want to proactively understand and mitigate their breach risk. The system runs continuously, delivering a set of actionable items prioritized by business risk, as well as prescriptive fix recommendations.
“The addition of a breach avoidance category speaks volumes about the acute need for solutions that enable IT security teams to get out of triage mode and in front of vulnerabilities before they become breaches,” said Mark Weiner, CMO, Balbix. “BreachControl addresses this issue head-on by providing enterprises with predictive insights across all their IT assets, coupled with an actionable list of prioritized fixes. It’s about helping customers get ahead of the breach.”
“We are pleased to name Balbix as a winner in our inaugural Fortress Cyber Security Awards program,” said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “It was clear to our expert judges that the entire group of 35 innovators and innovations are the tip of the spear helping to prepare, defend and respond to the growing threat of cyber-attacks.
