Circle Security, an emerging Silicon Valley startup, has recently revealed a new cybersecurity platform aimed at prioritizing prevention of cyber attacks.



Their approach focuses on addressing the most pervasive cybersecurity concerns, aiming to prevent cloud attacks and credential-driven threats. This is achieved by providing secure access to cloud data and applications while also ensuring the protection of data both upon initial sign-in and throughout the entirety of the user journey.

Circle Security's unique platform is available in four different forms: a device-native service, a mobile app, a zero-footprint browser-based solution, and via a developer-focused API, making it easily accessible for businesses of various sizes. The company has even developed a patented solution that changes how businesses access and secure their valuable data, which has earned them early backing from strategic investors.

Despite the numerous existing XDR, Zero-Trust, and MFA technologies currently in the cybersecurity industry, identity-driven data breaches remain a significant concern for businesses, as confirmed by Circle Security's founder and CEO, Phani Nagarjuna. Therefore, he believes it's time to add a basic prevention-first technology to current detection solutions that directly addresses the causes of prevalent cyber threats.

Circle Security's platform is a combination of device trust, data access, and data protection, all cryptographically combined into one powerful package. This decentralized platform offers secure access to cloud data and applications, delivering a promise of no credential-driven assaults and no cloud compromise for Circle-protected data. Its versatility allows businesses to improve their security posture in various areas such as remote work, passwordless infrastructure, ransomware, endpoint protection, business email compromise, and customer experience transformation.

Through Circle Security, businesses can rely on a single platform to secure their data no matter where it travels, offering a new level of protection against phishing and other credential-stealing threats. Bruce Schneier, regarded as an authority in cybersecurity and one of Circle Security's advisors, comments on their decentralized approach to authentication, stating that it is both user-friendly and powerful.

Circle Security's founder and CEO, Phani Nagarjuna, has had years of experience in C-level positions at venture- and private equity-backed businesses, launched numerous successful software products, architected digital transformations within organizations, and led two other early-stage companies that experienced profitable exits.
Alongside his cybersecurity veteran team, Mr. Nagarjuna is ushering in the era of genuine prevention in digital security, which could benefit businesses across various industries.
