SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Optery, the leader in enterprise personal data removal and the first company to offer a free report with dozens of screenshots showing where your personal information is being posted by hundreds of data brokers online, today announced that it has been named a finalist for the Attack Surface Management category in Cyber Defense Magazine’s (CDM) 12th Annual InfoSec Awards. This recognition took place during the BlackHat USA 2024 cybersecurity conference.
Judging continues through October, 2024, where winners will be announced online, in print and during Cyber Defense Con 2024, taking place October 31 – November 1, 2024 in Orlando, Florida, USA, where a select group of winners will be given the opportunity to showcase their innovative solutions to the Top Global CISOs during their invitation only conference at https://www.cisoconference.com.
“The modern enterprise attack surface has expanded far beyond traditional perimeters, encompassing executive and employee PII across numerous online data brokers,” said Paul Mander, GM of Optery for Business. “Managing this external, PII-based attack surface is essential for reducing the volume of attacks and preventing breaches. We are honored to be recognized as a finalist in this pivotal category by Cyber Defense Magazine during their 12th anniversary.”
“We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime. Optery is worthy of being named a finalist in these coveted awards and consideration for deployment in your environment,” said Yan Ross, Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
Optery is excited to be among the distinguished group of Cyber Defense Awards finalists.
