Over the last year, we’ve witnessed many cyber security breaches impacting governments, leading banks and healthcare companies. Billions of sensitive records were leaked and made available on the black market, exposing sensitive information of end customers. However, this alarming trend increased the security concerns of many big companies worldwide and made cyber security main priority to many GovTech, HealthTech and FinTech enterprises.
The arising awareness of the need to be cyber protected put LogSentinel in the spotlight in 2019: winning awards, onboarding some Fortune100 companies like IBM and getting SentinelDB. Now when more and more companies recognise personal data as their main asset, they feel the urge of taking immediate security actions towards protecting it. Thanks to this, LogSentinel gets more and more recognition worldwide.
