“In order to make significant strides in closing the gap between security and compliance, and deliver a solution that will address the divide between the two, we must make a major shift and change the narrative,” said Chris Strand, Chief Compliance Officer at IntSights. “IntSights has created a market leading technology that allows compliance teams to work side-by-side with cybersecurity counterparts to understand the real threat and implications of stolen data in overall cybersecurity posture and regulatory compliance..”
Strand joins the executive team to lead the company’s compliance initiatives as the clear, deep and dark web continues to be a safe haven for stolen intellectual property and personally identifiable information (PII) across industries. IntSights Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) is designed to proactively analyze potential gaps in cybersecurity frameworks, offering global customers visibility into the risks that may make them noncompliant with global data privacy laws and industry regulations.
