Flow Security introduces next-gen data security platform

Flow Security has announced $10M in seed funding and introduced what is says is the first data security platform that discovers and protects both data at rest and in motion.

The funding was led by Amiti, with participation from GFC, Amdocs Ventures, and industry players such as CyberArk CEO Udi Mokady and Demisto CEO and co-founder Slavik Markovich.

According to Flow Security, entities of every size continue to invest heavily in technology stacks as they transition to modern cloud application architectures, and while this new era brings many benefits, it has led to significant data sprawl and difficulties in securing data.

“Securing sensitive data such as PII, PHI, financial information, and intellectual property has become a near-impossible task,” the company adds.

Flow Security says it helps companies overcome these hurdles by continuously mapping and detecting all data-related risks for an improved data security posture.

Flow is the only data security platform that supports use cases including discovering and classifying data flows to external services, policy enforcement, automatic data-related threat modelling, and reducing data access permissions to the minimum, the company says.

Jonathan Roizin, co-founder and CEO of Flow Security, says information security is not a new challenge, but one that is evolving and growing.

“Organisations are moving at a record pace and quickly transitioning to the cloud and cloud-first applications. These transformations often make life easier, but they also make the jobs of security professionals even more difficult. With Flow, security teams are no longer forced to chase down information. It simplifies security and regulatory processes and bridges the gap between security and development teams.”
