MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--dope.security, the fly-direct Secure Web Gateway (SWG), today announced that it has been named to Fast Company’s fourth annual Next Big Things in Tech list, honoring emerging technology that has a profound impact for industries—from education and sustainability to robotics and artificial intelligence.
This year, 138 technologies developed by established companies, startups, or research teams are featured for their potential to revolutionize the lives of consumers, businesses, and society overall. While not all technologies are available in the market yet, each is reaching key milestones to have a proven impact in the next five years.
dope.security is a trilogy: Secure Web Gateway, CASB Neural, and VPN, with a strong competitive differentiation in two ways: architecture and user experience.
The ‘Fly Direct’ SWG evolved the traditional method of rerouting your Internet to a data center for a security check and replaced it with an on-device endpoint that performs web filtering to SSL inspection and more, very reliably and with a 4x performance increase on the device. There are no stopovers. Backed by Google Ventures and Boldstart Ventures, it’s trusted by investment firms and Fortune 100 companies in over 60 countries.
CASB Neural evolved the decades-old method of using regex, or pattern matching, for data loss prevention and upgraded it with LLMs to classify content by understanding it, rather than searching for an arbitrary 16-digit number and expecting it to be a credit card. Dopamine DLP identifies and remediates publicly exposed and externally shared sensitive data inside a customer’s Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace with just one click. No configuration is required with over 150M+ files scanned.
Most importantly, dope.security is an instant trial – any customer, regardless of size, can install their first endpoint and activate CASB Neural in a matter of minutes in a beautifully designed, intuitive cloud console.
"We’re thrilled to be named to Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech list," said Kunal Agarwal, CEO and Founder of dope.security. “This award speaks to our brand values: Passion, Design, and Attention to Detail. We’re dedicated to giving a dope, first-class experience to all of our customers, small and large, with a new evolution of how cybersecurity should be built in 2024.”
“The Next Big Things in Tech provides a fascinating glimpse at near- and long-term technological breakthroughs across a variety of sectors,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Spanning everything from semiconductors to agricultural gene editing, the companies featured in this year’s list are tackling some of the world’s most pressing and vexing problems.”
