But this technology patchwork is not optimal, and it results in end-users being unable to work efficiently and as a result work arounds and “shadow†IT solutions are rampant – all of which compromise security. Consequently, the ability to combat these threats is very challenging. The number of theft and ransomware incidents is growing rapidly and the impact in time, lost productivity and money has become so great that the insurance industry’s new cybersecurity insurance is one of its fastest growing sectors. Kinnami is an early stage data security startup that focuses on helping organizations better protect highly confidential documents and data by using a distributed storage mechanism to safeguard and monitor this information wherever it is accessed – on servers or endpoints – by internal or external collaborators. Our platform also provides irrefutable auditing mechanism that can be used to closely monitor and control
