Skyflow

We are excited to partner with Indonesia's leading fintech, JULO. We recently spoke with Manoj Awasthi, Julo's CTO, about their approach to protecting PII data and why they chose Skyflow. Here are some highlights: 🔹 Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world, and most people don't have access to credit. Julo aims to solve this problem. 🔹 Julo's core value is to do the right thing. They collect a lot of sensitive customer data and must keep it secure and private to maintain trust. 🔹 Many countries are enforcing privacy laws. Indonesia's PDP law can fine companies up to 2% of their annual revenue. India's new DPDP law has fines of 250 crores or $30M. 🔹 Protecting data and complying with these laws is essential and may require new strategies and infrastructure.

Big news reported by TechCircle! Skyflow is doubling down on our commitment to data protection in India! The enactment of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) law makes it critical for businesses to prioritize data security. Violations can result in hefty fines. On the back of new investment from Khosla Ventures and Dentsu Ventures, we're doubling our India team by the end of the year. This expansion will help us support businesses in navigating DPDP complexities. Read more about our growth and plans in the full article: https://lnkd.in/g8jZ2fCG

We are excited to announce the growth of our India operations! In response to the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) law, Indian businesses are focusing more on protecting personally identifiable information (PII). Skyflow’s PII data privacy vault ensures top-level security for customer data, including Aadhaar, using advanced encryption and a zero-trust approach. Our solution helps companies in BFSI, e-commerce, healthcare, and other sectors meet compliance and tackle AI-related governance and privacy risks. Our recent success and expansion wouldn’t be possible without the constant support of our incredible team and the confidence of our investors. As we continue to grow, Skyflow remains dedicated to leading in data privacy, helping organizations protect what matters most.

Many companies are now dealing with the mess created by the Evolve Bank data breach and this is just a few weeks after 150+ companies were dealing with the breach of their Snowflake data. Many impacted companies often having incredible engineering talent, and buy and use the best security products. However, there's been more than 1B records stolen in 2024 and we're only halfway through the year. So why do we keep getting these data breaches that includes our SSNs, card numbers, DOBs, and so much more? Skyflow's CEO and Co-founder, Anshu Sharma, explains why our current approach to cybersecurity isn't working. We need to rethink how we build our data infrastructure - and what it even means to secure our customers’ data. Read more about his insights here: https://lnkd.in/gcSJJth9 #databreach #evolve #pii

New Activant research on Data Security out now: https://lnkd.in/gA-5uuRQ Big shout out to Anshu at Skyflow and Belsasar at Cerby for their insights. Some big takeaways after months looking at the space: We need an enterprise data security platform. 🔹Data is the fundamental building block of enterprise AI and security. 🔹Breaches have increased in frequency and cost because data sources are fragmented, data volumes are growing, and more people (and models) are demanding access to sensitive data. 🔹Many point solutions have emerged in the data security market, and most big companies have a litany of different dashboards and tools for niche use cases, not a holistic view of their data security, let alone an ability to improve it.  🔹We need a unified solution, a data security platform, to address the issues of distributed data and provide the nuanced access controls modern companies need.    The data security platform of the future will have… 🔹Data discovery & classification that tells companies 1) where their data resides, 2) what type of data it is, and 3) what is sensitive and requires protection. This includes the ability to discover and classify structured as well as unstructured data types anywhere within the data pipeline.  🔹Encryption that meets regulatory requirements and protects sensitive information in the event of a breach.   🔹Access controls and inside threat detection with visibility and alerting tools to know who is accessing what information and when unauthorized access occurs. Today, 75% of insider incidents are non-malicious due to employee error or negligence as well as exploitation by external bad actors. 🔹Back up recovery and management so that if all else fails, a company can restore their data.

The scope of healthcare data breaches is growing exponentially over the last few years and modern engineering architectures are struggling to keep up.   Instead of relying on traditional cybersecurity detection tools, it's time to rethink the way you secure your patient data and their PII. Join Harini Gopalakrishnan , Field CTO of HCLS at Snowflake, and Sean Falconer, Head of Marketing at Skyflow, tomorrow morning to discuss how to tackle the challenges of safeguarding sensitive patient data.

Really enjoyed my fireside chat on how to build amazing startups for the IIT grads, with Abhinav Shashank who's co-founder & CEO of Innovaccer - one of the fastest growing healthcare data & AI companies that you may have never heard of. And, Raj Shekhar Singh who helped build Innovaccer and now runs Z21 ventures with Jyotika Gupta. We shared stories of what it takes and some of the more unconventional takes included: - All startups are hard, pick the kind of hard you like. For me, it's hard tech problems with very large TAMs. For someone else, it may be doing the hard work of getting first million users. Pick your hard. It's all hard! - Co-founders and what I call late co-founders - the team that actually gets together and helps you build the company over the long term. I am so lucky Skyflow to have some amazing late co-founders. - Enjoy the losses. Well, everyone hates losing but if you really like each other and love the mission, you can laugh at your losses along the way. In IIT KGP, we call these funda sessions aka bhaat sessions. Loved it. cc Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur z21 Ventures (And yes I am hiring, and so is Abhinav Shashank)

The conversations at the Data+AI Summit have been nothing short of electrifying! We've had the pleasure of engaging with hundreds of developers, data engineers, and go-to-market innovators, all buzzing about one critical topic: data privacy. From discussions on data pipelines to protecting sensitive PII within LLMs, it's clear that privacy is not just a priority but essential for projects of all sizes. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared insights, and sparked lively discussions. Your enthusiasm for building safer, privacy-first solutions is what drives us! Don't DIY PII

How can you de-risk your AI initiatives and remove sensitive PII from any LLM? We're thrilled to have Skyflow CEO Anshu Sharma, joined on stage by GoodRx CTO, Nitin Shingate, at the Databricks Data+AI Summit to showcase our approach. They discussed how to eliminate sensitive data exposure across your data pipeline, warehouse, analytics, and reporting tools with a data privacy vault. It's time to think differently about privacy, and architect holistic solutions to protect your customer data. Swing by the Skyflow booth #43 in the expo hall to take a look and see for yourself.
