Have built a zero trust foundation that protects customer data and reduces business risk
To improve Securiti, I would say that ultimately the IT team as well as the business team, there has to be an amalgamation of their thought process, convergence of their thoughts, objectives, aspirations for achieving the business objective of a particular organization. The way forward is to form the fusion team wherein there is a judicious mix of business and IT and both the teams understand each other's limitations and the aspirations and the common objectives. As far as needed improvements in Securiti, I would say that automation is key. If you look at the kind of huge amount of data which SOC integrated devices are generating in terms of alerts, automation or the appropriate use of AI is the way forward. That will lead to the overall improvement in the efficiency as well as the threat intelligence will be much more accurate. To my mind, automation with the augmented use of GenAI or the agentic AI solution is the way forward. I choose eight for Securiti because for it to be a nine or 10, ultimately the uptime has to be improved, it should be nearing 100%. Apart from that, there has to be more unified communication happening between various customer facing applications. These siloed applications having their own kind of security solutions implemented also have to be brought on a uniform platform. Until that happens, there is always a gap which has to be filled. The processes within the SOC, whether it is SIEM, NBAD, or your DAM, alert analysis, logs analysis, these have to be predictive analysis, and the thwarting of the cyber attacks still requires more effort.

Secure email workflows have reduced manual steps and now protect sensitive data effortlessly
The best features Virtru Data Protection Gateway offers are email encryption, application email encryption, email DLP, and email gateway. Email encryption has made the biggest impact for my team because it adds an extra layer of security. Email encryption allows us to encrypt emails without installing or exchanging keys with the recipient; we can have the sender manually encrypt the email, or based on keywords in the email, we suggest the user encrypt the email, or we auto-encrypt the email with ease. I also appreciate the DLP feature because it helps us gain DLP capabilities in a simple and straightforward way. Virtru Data Protection Gateway has positively impacted my organization by providing better security. Better security has meant ensuring customer sensitive information is well protected and secured for my organization; we have noticed fewer incidents, improved compliance, and it saves approximately 50 hours a month by enabling us to eliminate manual work and reduce several daily workflow steps for our representatives.
