Awareness Technologies

Awareness Technologies makes security software aimed at risks that come from inside an organisation. Its products run on the desktop itself rather than at the network level. The company says this makes deployment simpler and cuts the cost of ownership compared with network-based alternatives.

What Awareness Technologies offers

• Data loss prevention — software that guards against theft or loss of intellectual property and customer data.
• Desktop security — protection that operates invisibly on each workstation.
• Laptop protection — measures against theft or loss of company laptops.
• Insider risk monitoring — visibility into employee misconduct and lost productivity.
• Compliance support — help with regulatory requirements.

Who it works with

The sources describe the audience simply as companies that need protection from threats inside the enterprise.
