CensorNet to speak at America’s Growth Capital in San Francisco

Basingstoke, UK – February 7, 2017 – CensorNet, the complete cloud security company, has been invited to present at the first day of America’s Growth Capital (AGC) 13th Annual West Coast Information Security & Broader Technology Growth Conference at 3.15pm PT on Monday 13th February 2017.

During the presentation entitled “Going beyond CASB to manage tomorrow’s threat landscape”, CensorNet CEO, Ed Macnair, will discuss how the increasing adoption of cloud applications is driving the market need for a context and user behavior-driven security approach that will deliver a CASB offering which combines control capabilities across all attack vectors while providing robust security to protect against cyber threats.

CensorNet helps organizations to effectively manage and control the use of cloud applications in their business. Its unified and multi-layered approach to securing the cloud via its purpose built, multi-functional cloud security platform delivers integrated web security, email security, CASB and adaptive multi-factor authentication. This provides organizations with security-focused visibility and control over user access, data and assets to allow access while controlling outcomes, and allows organizations to address the security, audit, compliance and productivity issues associated with the use of cloud applications and devices.

“CIOs and CISOs are facing a fast evolving threat landscape and need to protect against a wide variety of threats, without losing IT visibility and control of cloud applications. Ensuring that corporate data in cloud apps and systems is secure is paramount,” says Ed Macnair, CEO of CensorNet. “Enterprises will ultimately need to protect cloud- as well as on-premise based applications to address the challenges of tomorrow’s threat landscape and obtain a truly holistic view of their security posture.”

The AGC Conference comprises keynotes, panel sessions and private and public company presentations. It is hosted by America’s Growth Capital (AGC), a full-service, partner-owned boutique investment bank with offices in Silicon Valley, Boston and Israel. AGC provides private capital, mergers and acquisitions and capital market advisory services. The conference attracts more than 1,600 attendees annually, including entrepreneurs, investors and buyers.

Ed Macnair acquired CensorNet in October 2014 with three other industry-leading experts to accelerate the development of a cloud security solution combining cloud application control, web and email security. The company acquired SMS PASSCODE, a multi-factor authentication vendor, in February 2016 to boost its comprehensive cloud security platform CensorNet Unified Security Service (USS). Prior to CensorNet, Macnair founded SaaSID, a UK application security provider in 2011 which was subsequently acquired by Intermedia Inc. in September 2013. Before SaaSID, Macnair was CEO of Marshal, a UK web and email security company, which merged with US-based 8e6 Technologies to form M86 Security (now SingTel). If you would like to meet Ed Macnair at the RSA conference, please come to the Moscone Center, West Hall Level 1, Suite WES14 or contact: Ed Macnair at ed.macnair@censornet.com.
