Protection, Privacy and Peace of Mind for Security-First Organizations
Secure Third Party Communications
The modern CISO has plenty to worry about: malware, ransomware, insider threats, IoT proliferation, phishing, public cloud security, shadow IT—the list goes on. In high risk and highly regulated sectors, security and privacy often supplant cost and efficiency as the top IT priorities, putting even more pressure on CISO performance. The Kiteworks platform provides CISOs in security-first organizations with protection, privacy and peace of mind for sharing sensitive information across enterprise borders. That’s one less thing to worry about.

CISO Solutions
See All Sensitive Content Shared Across Enterprise Borders
Shine a Light on Threats with the CISO Dashboard
CISOs must assess security threats and justify security investments with severely limited information and resources. The Kiteworks CISO Dashboard provides complete visibility to all information exchanged across the Kiteworks platform, including detailed drill downs on what is being shared, who is sharing it, where it is coming from, and where it is going. The Kiteworks CISO Dashboard arms you with the information you need to understand the pervasive threats that arise from sharing content across enterprise borders, develop proactive plans to address them, and assess the effectiveness of your preventative policies, programs and systems.
Prevent Leaks of Sensitive Information
Monitor All Content Leaving Your Organization
Government employees must share plans, attorneys must share case files, engineers must share trade secrets, and support reps must share private customer information simply to do their jobs. Their CISOs all face the same challenge: preventing intentional and accidental leaks of this sensitive information when it is shared using insecure channels, such as email, mobile apps and cloud collaboration tools. The Kiteworks platform creates a secure channel for sharing sensitive enterprise content that provides complete visibility, compliance and control of sensitive enterprise information that must be shared with the outside world.
Protect Against Malicious Attacks
Scan Every Incoming File Transfer
As the preferred malware attack vector, malicious email attachments and shared file uploads have cost many CISOs many sleepless nights. The Kiteworks platform helps you rest easier with AV and ATP scans of every incoming file. Plus, administrators can control what types of files can be uploaded by role, giving granular control that spans user, department, location, and entire platform levels. Don’t let malware and ransomware keep you up at night.
Get Control of Shadow IT
Govern Cloud-based File Sharing
For CISOs, the cloud is always a double-edged sword. Every penny and minute saved comes with the price of increased risk. Every frustrated manager and employee who takes IT into their own hands to get work done increases that risk, leaving the CISO responsible for resulting security breaches. Alternatively, blocking common consumer cloud services runs the risk of alienating customers with complex communication processes. The Kiteworks platform governs cloud-based file sharing and minimizes shadow IT by giving users a simple, secure way to share enterprise content with external parties, such as customers, vendors, partners and investors.
Secure Sensitive Data Without Hiding It Away
Enable Simple, Secure Access to On Premise Content
Every CISO knows that some data is just too sensitive to store on the cloud: financial disclosures, intellectual property, legal documents, patient records; every security-first organization has its proprietary secrets. Unfortunately, you can’t just hide it all away, because sooner or later sensitive content must be shared with trusted individuals and organizations outside the enterprise just to get work done. The Kiteworks platform makes it easy to access on-premise file shares and content management systems to share sensitive information securely across enterprise borders.
Leverage Your Current Security Investments
Capture Sensitive Information Exchange at the Source
Even the most powerful MFA, DLP, ATP and SIEM solutions will fail to protect your organization, if they are not fed the right information in the first place. Kiteworks secure file sharing, MS Office plugins, enterprise app plugins and enterprise content integrations provide direct access to sensitive content at the point of origin, allowing complete monitoring and scanning of every information exchange. Don’t let your security systems live in a silo. Leverage the security investments you’ve already made by placing them directly into the flow of sensitive information across and beyond your organization.
Frequently Asked Questions
CISOs and their organizations should stay up to date with the latest regulatory requirements and standards that are relevant to their respective industries, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). They should also establish strong data governance policies and procedures, conduct regular privacy impact assessments, and implement technical and organizational measures to protect personal data.
To secure public cloud environments, organizations should follow several best practices, including but not limited to using strong authentication and access controls, implementing encryption for data at rest and in transit, and regularly monitoring cloud environments for potential security threats. It is also important to establish a shared responsibility model with cloud providers to ensure that security responsibilities are clearly defined and understood by both the cloud provider and the customer.
Preventing insider threats requires a multifaceted approach that includes background checks and security clearances for employees with access to sensitive data, conducting regular security training for all employees, and monitoring and auditing employee activity on company networks and systems. Implementing access controls, advanced threat protection, and data loss prevention technologies can also help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
CISOs and their organizations can ensure secure sharing of sensitive information across enterprise borders by implementing a variety of security measures. These can include encryption of data in transit and at rest, using secure communication channels, restricting access to sensitive information, and implementing security protocols and procedures that comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
CISOs can significantly mitigate the impact of a cybersecurity incident as long as they are adequately prepared for this inevitable event. CISOs should first develop an incident response plan. This plan should include a thorough list of procedures for identifying the scope and extent of the breach, containing the breach to prevent further data loss, notifying affected stakeholders, and conducting a thorough investigation into the cause of the breach. CISOs should also work to remediate the breach by implementing additional security measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
