There's been a lot of high profile incidents in the press.
Some of those have been malicious.
A lot of them have been accidental. Insiders
just trying to do their job,
just making a simple mistake.
Breaches are inevitable.
If you work in cyber you have to understand
that if someone is motivated enough,
they are going to get your stuff as a malicious outsider.
And accidents are always going to happen, that's human nature.
The most diligent, the most patient,
the best employee you could ever have,
they're going to make accidents.
They're going to make mistakes.
You have to start from a position of accepting that,
and then see what you can put around
that person to help them.
So we're an FCA-regulated firm, but we're also
now looking at GDPR.
That was a big part, a big process
within our organization.
The impacts it's going to have financially are huge.
Misaddressed emails are a critical risk for us
as a company.
Incidents are reported straight up the board level.
We track them.
That's why we look for companies that are exciting, brand new,
and doing things in different ways.
And that's why we chose the Tessian platform. So
we really like the machine learning components
of the Tessian platform.
But we're also very happy that there's
a very customizable, flexible engine that
allows us to create very fixed rules
if the business and the requirements so desires.
So when we first did the proof of concept with Enforcer,
we actually saw quite a lot of traffic which we didn't expect.
Digging into it, it was a lot of people sending work home which
we are now talking to them, about working on policy,
working on remote access.
Again, it's people doing their job
to the best of their ability and trying
to work outside of hours.
A lot of the stuff that is going home
isn't necessarily of a concern.
It's working spreadsheets which don't mean anything.
But you're losing the protection of your corporate environment.
The data is now outside of that.
Enforcer allows us to see that information
and allows us to put policy around it,
to put awareness around it, and to help
people work in a way which is more conducive to us looking
after the data in a better way.
We've been a Tessian customer for over 18 months.
We have a great relationship with them.
They're a great UK startup.
They listen to their customers.
They take on board criticism.
They take on board suggestions.
They're very quick to respond.
Myself, along with other Winterflood Securities,
we're very excited to be working with Tessian to see
where the journey takes us. [MUSIC PLAYING]
