“Consumers are demanding better handling of their information by companies. Privacy laws and constant barrage of security breaches demand a more thoughtful approach in how data sharing occurs within internal SaaS platforms,” says Polymer Founder & CEO Yasir Ali. “Data governance within organizations is quickly evolving into a mandatory requirement for technology and security teams. Existing CASBs and DLPs have done a poor job in addressing this problem requiring high amounts of human interventions for upkeep. We built Polymer from the grounds up to be easy to get started with and have a self-learning machine take over most of the governance functions.”
As a founder of DVega, an Enterprise consulting business, Yasir Ali saw this problem first hand in working with companies such as Deutsche Bank, CIBC, Barclays, S&P, Morningstar and others. He architected and built data, security & privacy solutions in large and complex organizations.
Ed Bellis, Co-Founder & CTO of Kenna Security, “Current data loss protection solutions create too much noise and are not actionable, especially for SaaS platforms. I bought into the Polymer story due to a common sense approach that is grounded in reality from Yasir & Usman. In recently trying out the tool ourselves, I found the product easy to use to surface any compliance issues.”
Polymer has multiple patent pending for its automated remediation technology that reduces human intervention and ultimately the total cost of ownership for data governance of SaaS.
