November NY Info Security Meetup

Fireside Chat with FBI Special Agent -

Economic espionage is a problem that costs the American economy hundreds of billions of dollars per year and puts our national security at risk. Foreign competitors deliberately target economic intelligence in advanced technologies and flourishing U.S. industries. Historically, economic espionage has targeted defense-related and high-tech industries, but recent FBI cases have shown that no industry, large or small, is immune to the threat. Any company with a proprietary product, process, or idea can be a target; any unprotected trade secret is vulnerable to theft by those who wish to illegally obtain innovations to increase their market share at a victim company’s expense.

With more than 22 years of law enforcement experience with the FBI, our guest speaker’s career has spanned numerous disciplines. As a senior investigator in the FBI’s National Security Division he has led complex counterintelligence operations as well as insider threat and economic espionage investigations. As a FBI Certified Instructor he also conducts outreach with the private sector to raise public awareness and inform industry leaders on how to protect their intellectual property from both internal and external threats.

Hysolate is revolutionizing enterprise endpoints, making them as flexible and secure as the cloud or the data center.
Our "Software-Defined Endpoints"​ platform resolves the conflict between security and productivity. We bring air gap grade security to the enterprise and at the same time free knowledge workers from past usage restrictions.

The solution replaces the traditional endpoint OS with a bare-metal hypervisor that splits the endpoint into a few fully isolated local VMs, in a way that is completely seamless to the user. Security and IT controls that used to be bundled to the OS can now run below the OS as part of the hypervisor platform and independent of OS, application or device hardware.
