Episode 83: Security is All About the Data

Listen

One of the goals of this podcast is to help people better understand their risk exposure when it comes to their digital footprint.

Back in January of this year, JPMorgan Asset & Wealth Management CEO Mary Erdoes took the stage at Davos and revealed that JPMorgan Chase & Co. is subjected to 45 billion hacking attempts every single day. And perhaps more disturbing is that number is double what it was in 2023.

In this episode of Privacy Files, we talk to Purandar Das, the CEO and Founder of Sotero, a company on a mission to help organizations protect their most valuable asset–their data.

Purandar has a unique story. He used to help companies collect, monetize and manage massive volumes of personal data. We’re talking billions of records every year.

Having served as CTO for two of the largest marketing services companies in the world, Purandar witnessed firsthand the extent of security vulnerabilities that exist when it comes to managing customer data.

He decided something needed to be done.

Now Purandar is dedicating his career to helping companies detect and stop attacks that exfiltrate data in real time. For as Purandar says, “Security is all about the data.”
