Nice shoutout from #Jack of Twitter and Square fame, for all of us who worked at PGP Corporation, on our role in the evolutation of the internet. Turns out strong cryptography matters - even if decades in between from secure email to web3, blockchain and smart contracts usage today.
I remember those days and helping to sort out the rev rec war room.
Pretty Good Privacy turned out to be Pretty Amazing! I guess PGP was catchier than PAP! 😃
Who is this Al guy everyone is talking about ? … Alastair Paterson (Al^2) and Bryan Woolgar-O'Neil announce new data protection capabilities, a novel new use for these LLM things Go Harmonic Security !
🚀 We've just launched our data protection capabilities! If you're looking for ways to adopt ChatGPT/Copilot/Gemini without the fear of data leaking out, Harmonic Protect is for you. ၊၊||၊ Our models are pre-trained to detect sensitive data without the noise of legacy approaches, even in unstructured data. There's no need to label all your data or create complex, noisy regex rules. 👋 Rather than sending alerts to overworked security teams, Harmonic nudges end users to coach them toward compliance ⚡ These models are lightning-fast. Our detections work 300x quicker than large language models like ChatGPT, which means that sensitive information can be blocked from leaving the enterprise before a query to GenAI services can be completed. All without disrupting the end user. You can read more about Harmonic Protect and sign up for a trial here: https://lnkd.in/gr_u9WAd #dataprotection #genaisecurity #aitrism

Great job Kasada as covered today by the Sydney Morning Herald, on the recent bout of credential-stuffing attacks in Australia. It's also happening outside of Australia unfortunately. A good prescription that many of the top US e-commerce and tech sites have already done, is to take the problem on at the website level (best practices) not relying on end users alone. Kasada with strong momentum off record year in 2023 shaping up for an outstanding 2024!
Successful credential stuffing attacks have hit Australia hard recently, resulting in cases of online fraud. Users juggling countless accounts can't be the sole gatekeepers to prevent Account takeover. Online businesses, it's your cue to block the stolen password tryouts at login. 🔒 https://hubs.la/Q02gGBVj0 #credentialstuffing #onlinefraud #accounttakeover
Sam Crowther so proud of you and what you are building at Kasada, enjoy this well deserved recognition
🎉 Big news! 🚀 Our founder, Sam Crowther, just secured a spot on Forbes 30 Under 30! 🌟 A heartfelt congratulations to Sam for this well-deserved recognition.

Second time being excited to announce we backed Alastair Paterson and his co-founder Bryan Woolgar-O'Neil as they announce Harmonic Security, at the intersection of data protection and its under appreciated role in the future of Enterprise AI and LLMs. Our blog here: https://lnkd.in/gMQzGYB3 Al's announcement here:
Today I’m delighted to announce the launch of Harmonic Security and our $7m seed funding round: https://lnkd.in/g776d6YV I wanted to share a bit of background about what problems Harmonic is solving, and why that is so close to my heart. Harmonic has a new approach to the data protection space, that initially helps companies to adopt Generative AI without risking the security and privacy of their data. From over a decade running Digital Shadows, I know all too well how much sensitive data ends up exiting the enterprise. Our existing, legacy data protection measures are not working and mostly tick a compliance box alone. We can do better. Our new approach is like having a human data protection expert reviewing every piece of data leaving an organization, stopping IP, code, customer information and other sensitive data getting where it shouldn’t, without additional friction for employees or the security team. Our initial focus is on helping organizations adopt Generative AI applications and models without worrying about their sensitive data being exposed. I’m joined by co-founder and former Digital Shadows CTO Bryan Woolgar-O'Neil and an incredible team and we’re excited to get started. If you’d like to know more, please do reach out. You’ll be hearing a lot more from us, no doubt. https://lnkd.in/g8Zd-9rX Finally, a huge thank you to our lead investor Ten Eleven Ventures and Storm Ventures, both backing us for a second time. Personal thanks for all our supporters, advisors and angels including: Art Coviello, Jr, James C., Daniel Bernard, Nicholas Warner, Luke Hakes, Paul McNabb, Ross McKercher, Eugenio P., Greg Martin, James Hadley, Pete Jaco, Eileen Burbidge, Caleb Sima, Jack Huffard, Tim Sadler, Sascha Maier, Selim Aissi, Jerry Perullo, Mark Sutton, Dasha Kadulova, John Harte, Huy L., Kate Kuehn, Imran Shaikh, Nick Matese, ☁️ Sandip Wadje, Jim Bandanza, Dov Yoran, Tim Belcher, Darren Kane, Edward M., Steve Jeffrey, Aaron Schaub, Robert Rodriguez and many others. Your support means a great deal.
Cool writeup on Sam Crowther CEO and Founder of Kasada
Senior Writer/Associate Manager at Meta
2yFor those of us who were in the original PGP startup, many were early proponents of individual privacy — (we had the first cookie cutter) — and tried to stand against the survelience hive we now find ourselves a part of. Too bad Zimmerman sold out to the system. I remember him coming into my office and sitting on my desk after selling the company to Network Associates and bragging how well he had done for himself and his family. So much for fearless leaders.
