Our Mission
To
protect intellectual property from both insiders and outsiders.
Our Product
Briefile was created to fill the needs created by the collision of
the information revolution and the information leaking revolution.
The idea behind Briefile was realized while trying
to email the quarterly sales results to a product manager.
If the information was emailed, it could get forwarded outside the
company by a
malicious virus or an employee -- and because email is
persistent, who knows when the information may leak out. It could be
tomorrow or it could be 10 years from now.
To solve this
problem, a new product needed to be created to allow someone
to control the duration of
the quarterly sales file. An easy way to create a file that
had a 1 day duration. That way the product manager could review the
information and it didn't really matter what else they did with it, because it
would only be accessible
for 1 day. If the file were to leak out, it wouldn't matter because
no one could open the file and access the data.
The Market Size
We believe the market opportunity is enormous. According to a recent study
by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), the average
organization loses about 6% of revenue to fraud and abuse committed by its
employees.

A Digital Revolution Behind the Idea
The world is filling up quickly with more information then we know what do to
with. Data Management and Data Integration are quickly
becoming the next wave in the digital revolution -- which has
created several new product catagories including,
-
Massive data storage products like databases and network harddrive hubs,
-
Integration tools and protocals like XML to help share information accross
different systems through the Internet,
-
Search engines (like Google) to categorize massive amounts of data
and quickly respond to queres for specific
information,
-
Information protection products that secure sensitive information from
leaking into the wrong hands -- this is where
Briefile fits in.
