Overview

pSTASH® is a Technology Company that has developed a PROACTIVE Privacy Security Solution: The New Data Protection Standard. Autonomous, quantum-resistant, and turn-key, data compromise is mitigated at the data byte level from file creation through data-at-rest by our patent-pending Keys-on-the-Fly™, DigitalConfetti™, and Ghost Files™. Streamlined deployment. No integration required./p pUnlike the vast majority of other security options, STASH doesn’t try to defend, react, predict, analyze or deflect. Instead, it proactively secures your most valuable asset: the data itself./p pWhen STASH is deployed, you can go about your business without changing the way you work. Data compromise is mitigated to the lowest possibility ever, automatically./p p /p p /p

The Problem

pIn the last three years alone, more than 3,000 companies have jumped on the cybersecurity bandwagon, with a slew of on-the-defense security tools, yet, despite this proliferation of almost exclusively 'more of the same', there have been 185 million+ confirmed data intrusions to date when data has been lost, stolen, manipulated, harmed or ransomed./p pLarge brands deftly market their products and services and extoll the effectiveness of their tools. What's missing? The one component of the security stack that actually mitigates data compromise. Frustration confusion abound./p pThere are billions of connected devices, networks, infrastructures and applications around the world today. Attempting to mitigate every attack at every door, on every pathway that leads to data assets is simply impossible with defensive means alone. Large companies are using on average 72 security tools, lately crying uncle about the millions of dollars spent on complex, expensive, long-time integrations, user training, total cost of ownership, and the onerous responsibility of keeping data assets safe, all the while knowing that 72 integrations can't possibly be working in tandem to mitigate the threats./p pTrying to protect the billions of doors and pathways to valuable data assets defensively has been proven without a doubt to be IMPOSSIBLE, according to Gartner, SCMedia, Ponemon Institute, Forrester, and a plethora of other data protection experts./p p /p

The Solution

pSTASH was developed specifically for this Presumed Failure. We realized that taking a different approach, developing a way to protect the core, most common denominator - the data itself - is the solution our customers, 1,000s of companies around the world have been seeking./p pBy proactively protecting data through a proprietary method of data encryption, parsing, multiplication, scattered in multiples on any kind of cloud configuration or on-site servers anywhere in the world a client chooses, STASH mitigates the possibility of data compromise to the lowest possibility ever, ensures data integrity, resilience, privacy security for decades, no matter how technology changes. /p pOur game-changing solution protects any kind of unstructured data delivering security, privacy protection, via SAAS, Sync, or API from creation on any device, through sharing, in-transit, at-rest. A non-integrative modular solution that snaps on to any business environment. /p

The results

pA Data Privacy and Security Solution, not simply another tool, that delivers the data protection wish list of STASH and every organization, government, and user on the planet including our ever growing list of customers. Autonomous, practically frictionless, no integration required, no training required, works in the background, cost-effective, efficient, and effectively solves one of the most pressing and expensive challenges of the present and future - eliminating the compromise of valuable data assets via loss, theft, manipulation, harm and ransomware, and delivering genuine peace of mind that data is proactively protected all the time, in real time, everywhere, wherever it is, wherever it goes./p

Metrics

pWhen STASH is deployed:/p ul liTCO (total cost of ownership) of data management is reduced by 20%-80% depending on the size of the organization and the volume of STASH protected data assets/li liCustomers save an average $7.4 Million in remediation costs alone after a data intrusion, and potentially millions more in business downtime, brand equity dilution, loss of customers, fines (GDPR and others), and penalties/li liBolsters customer confidence, and creates the potential for additional revenue streams/li liNo integration required means STASH is data, network, and infrastructure agnostic./li liReplace dozens of redundant and/or legacy defensive tools for significant cost savings year after year/li liDramatically minimizes the attack landscape/li liSet it and forget it - a turnkey service that minimizes the hands-on involvement of the weakest link in the security strategy: the user/li liData cannot be accessed except by the customer organization - STASH does not have the ability to access any data but it's own/li liPrivacy regulatory compliance has met its match - STASH delivers provable data privacy with a minimum of friction/li liMulti-component quantum resistant keys are deployed when activated by the client and then destroyed after use, not stored anywhere in-between time/li /ul

The Technology

pKeys-on-the-Fly® - multi-component quantum resistant keys that work like a nuclear dashboard and are destroyed after each use./p pDigitalConfetti® - unstructured data files are encrypted, parsed, saved in multiples to multiple locales on any cloud configuration including hybrid, or any off-cloud on-site servers anywhere in the world.  /p pGhost Files™ - Real-time working files protected during creation, through moving, sharing, and at-rest, business done as usual/p

Disruptive Factor

pSTASH was developed to solve the problem of data vulnerability. We do just that, better than any other company. /p pUntil very recently, we were described as an 'emerging technology' - the subtext of which was 'a technology that has not reached a stage of sufficient awareness, viability, competitiveness, and potential adoption in the cyber arena to matter much yet. Not anymore./p pThere has been a significant amount of smoke, mirrors, and noise in the security marketplace. Marketing and promotional jargon proliferate with claims of superior performance towards everyone's ultimate goal: the privacy and security of data assets. /p pIn reality, there are very few companies that have seen the future and have developed for it. There is a multitude of predictive, analytical, reactive, defensive, and deflective tools that claim they deliver data security. But what they were actually built to do specifically, is to attempt to protect those perimeters that hover around the data: networks, endpoints, platforms, applications, infrastructures. To date, without much success./p pSTASH is the future of data protection, available today. No one originally thought Apple was much more than a toy when it launched. Until it became a defacto of our existence./p pWhat we hear most often about STASH is 'what you say you are able to do is hard to believe'. Until we show them. Then what they say is: 'wow'./p p /p p /p

Shining Moment

pSTASH is proud to have stayed the course when we were ahead of our time. Now, instead of  'we don't need any other security', what we hear is 'you can't protect data without protecting the data.' /p pSTASH is a SCMedia 2018 Finalist for Best Cloud Computing Security Solution, in the company of the big boys: Akamai, Cisco, Juniper Networks  /p pOur Founder and CEO, Janine Darling, was also recognized as a 2018 IT Security Power Player./p
