I totally agree that platforms are the key to future market success. While it is a little self promoting, I’m going to mention an area that I think is very important, but unmentioned: Data Ownership and Security.
We currently live in a time where people do not care about their data ownership or security until someone steals their ID and empties their bank account. Additionally, someone who takes little care about their data security may get doxxed and bad guys target their house for robbery, or a myriad of other bad things that can happen if a bad actor gets ahold of your personally identifying information (PII). This situation gets worse with access to information networks resulting in ransomware attacks.
Governments are trying to “fix” this situation with a hammer, making increasingly byzantine laws and then demanding compliance, jacking up cost’s for holding user data. Finally, in the not-too-distant-future the threat of quantum computers, making all the encryption we employ today obsolete, is becoming more real on a daily basis.
There are over 150 companies in the US alone dealing with data security in 15 different market segments. The market is a mess and there is still no way to actually own your own data and deploy and rescind it as you wish, unless you choose to not give it out in the first place, and obviously untenable practice if you participate in the modern economy.
Most data, most of the time, is at rest, just sitting there waiting to be taken by a bad actor. We offer a platform for protecting it. Kloke, our data security platform, is agnostic to the type of data, the application the data is being used on, and the methods by which data is being accessed. But our combination of behavioral authentication, data tokenization and fragmentation, creates a platform that keeps data at rest safe from bad actors, quantum computers, and dramatically simplifies compliance with government and market requirements such as TDE, GPDR, and PCI. It does this all while, giving people the ability to rescind data from the platforms they have given access to if they wish.
