Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Data breaches can be detrimental to companies, particularly when they regard the leaking of sensitive data such as private keys and login credentials. However, such breaches are common and can be difficult to identify due to the vast range of platforms and SaaS' that modern businesses use, often resulting in leaks only being identified when it's too late to prevent.
Truffle Security provides a software tool named TruffleHog that identifies and remediates sensitive information that has leaked within a business's digital infrastructure, running scans automatically to catch vulnerable data before it leaks. The software integrates within major SaaS platforms such as Slack, AWS, Gmail, and Github, also offering bespoke integration services for unique business infrastructures.
Whilst many cybersecurity platforms can identify the source of data leaks early to minimize their impact, Truffle Security has recognized that this is often too little too late. By constantly scanning business environments behind the scenes, the company shows great potential to disrupt the data protection market by completely preventing data leaks and thus removing the need for recovery specialists.
