Best in Class Solution!

I am an investor at Bain Capital specializing in cybersecurity and infrastructure. We have been doing a deep dive into the enterprise data space since our investment in Ata#####, and have found data loss prevention one of the largest pain points. Many firms lack comprehensive data privacy policies and solutions. We see GTB’s platform as a direct response to address this problem, and we feel it is a best-in-class solution. Nov. 16, 2022 lkin

Blue Cross ... Meeting our complicated needs

Over the years, our environment has become increasing complicated as we continue to improve our security and data protection posture. GTB Technologies has demonstrated time and time again its ability to be agile in meeting our needs. We have seen other (larger) companies struggle to understand issues and communicate them within their company to work toward delivering a solution. This has not been the case with GTB.

“Security is a large initiative for LA Metro, as we continue to grow our network and infrastructure to meet our growing needs that support those living, working and exploring LA County,” said Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Senior Director of Engineering Richard Bezjian. “Our existing email protection would simply not be enough on its own to deliver the strength of protection required to identify and stop today’s cyberattacks.

Within days of deployment, the City saw a 30% improvement in the use of data encryption. " GTB catches the events which others missed!

Forcepoint Investor - Private Equity

I have been working closely with Forcepoint. They are highly impressed with GTB’s all-in-one DLP solution and its ability to discover, classify, detect, and protect companies from threats in a seamless manner.

GTB Is A DLP Market Leader

Our deployed Digital Guardian deployment was failing miserably. The product did not function properly and support was non-existent. The inability to address audit issues, inaccurate data provided by the system, and the lack of reporting prompted us to implement GTB after a detailed evaluation of DLP products.

Most Advanced DLP

"GTB has one of the most advanced DLP solutions on the market and we are proud to have them as a partner. As soon as we added them to the Avanan Cloud Security Platform we started seeing our customers testing and then purchasing their solution on our platform" Gil Friedrich, CEO Avanan

Best company to work with

GTB continues to be the best company to work with in our entire portfolio. I’m happy for GTB’s great success while still making MIDFLORIDA feel like your most important customer. Please consider me for a reference anytime.
