PRESS RELEASE
TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Piiano, the main knowledge safety firm, as we speak introduced Piiano Flows, the trade’s first privacy-centric static code analyzer. The corporate will provide free scans till the top of 2023.
Excessive-profile knowledge leaks, together with Duolingo’s PII leak in late August, underscore the essential significance of knowledge safety for companies on a worldwide scale. Flows robotically and repeatedly analyzes supply code all through improvement processes and tracks when, the place and the way delicate knowledge are getting used and saved. This permits safety groups to shift knowledge safety left with a extra proactive method. Piiano’s instrument finds potential knowledge leaks inside supply code and ensures that delicate info, similar to Personally Identifiable Info (PII), credentials and monetary info, are protected earlier than defective code reaches manufacturing.
“Safety leaders need to focus extra on knowledge safety throughout improvement, however don’t have the precise instruments to take action at scale and see what’s occurring with knowledge of their code. Information vulnerabilities are even more durable to seek out after defective code reaches manufacturing, which is why our instrument nips the issue on the supply,” says Gil Dabah, co-founder and CEO of Piiano.
Picture reveals delicate knowledge statistics gathered by analyzing a code repository.
Builders are anticipated to work at a fast tempo and beneath an excessive amount of stress. Compounded by an absence of safety experience and orientation, they’re susceptible to creating errors by little fault of their very own that may expose knowledge on the code degree–similar to forgetting to take away debugging logs or inadvertently exposing delicate knowledge by public or third-party APIs.
In keeping with Justinian Fortenberry, CISO at Etsy and a board advisor to Piiano, “Piiano Flows is a really highly effective and simple answer that, for the primary time, permits enterprises to avoid wasting time figuring out potential knowledge leaks throughout and after the applying improvement course of.”
Dabah likens Flows to a “SAST-type instrument for proactive DPSM.” The corporate’s proprietary NLP ML mannequin and taint evaluation algorithms – a extra correct method than extra generally used Massive Language Fashions (LLMs) – maps and highlights any code that touches delicate knowledge, together with incoming, outgoing and saved knowledge, to assist discover knowledge privateness and safety points and blind spots that may occur in runtime.
Flows, out there free of charge, is designed for fast and straightforward use with an intuitive interface for safety groups. To remove third-party danger, it solely requires entry to code itself with out ever accessing manufacturing environments or manufacturing knowledge shops containing delicate buyer knowledge.
About Piiano
Piiano gives a knowledge safety platform for app-sec and engineering groups to safe delicate buyer knowledge and guarantee their privateness – even within the occasion of a breach. Enterprises can scan their supply code to search out knowledge leaks and comparable knowledge publicity points and remediate them by securing the delicate knowledge through the use of its knowledge safety APIs. With Piiano’s constructing blocks, engineers and safety leaders can save vital time, effort and assets whereas reaching true safety with out slowing down.
