hi this is Sean hessinger reporting for
0:03
small business Trends from zoholics
0:05
2024 and I'm here with moly durai
0:09
speaking uh about security and data
0:13
privacy and uh let's just start with
0:16
this uh we hear so much about uh data
0:19
privacy and data security these days why
0:21
are these two issues so important do you
0:23
think to small businesses in particular
0:26
so when it comes to security and privacy
0:29
uh especially small small businesses are
0:30
the ones who get affected more if you
0:33
look at the number of incidents or the
0:35
number of breaches that happened in the
0:37
last five years you would be knowing a
0:39
lot of small businesses has gone out of
0:42
business just after facing a breach so
0:45
one out of three business uh small
0:47
business especially uh who fa the breach
0:49
has gone out of their own business so
0:52
why because they lack their expertise
0:54
they don't have the right uh security
0:56
expertise and they don't have the right
0:58
type of budget to handle the new age
1:02
cyber attacks or security threat
1:03
landscape that is prevailing today let's
1:07
talk about how to how how do you go
1:08
about protecting your data I mean why
1:11
has this become such a focus for Zoho in
1:13
particular Zoho is a company our larger
1:16
vision is to service the operating
1:18
system for business we help customers
1:20
already with their sales marketing
1:22
finance and all that but security is
1:25
also very very essential today in 2024
1:28
we all work in a hybrid fashion and we
1:30
have a lot of devices lot of
1:32
applications which means for any company
1:34
it's very hard for them to manage to
1:36
know who is using which account from
1:38
where when and all that so security is
1:41
of a Paramount importance today because
1:44
uh there is a lot of regulations in
1:46
across the regions so if you put your
1:49
business data and customer data at risk
1:52
or if it is something breached The
1:54
Regulators are going to come after you
1:56
with huge fines and maybe take you out
1:59
of business well yeah well let's look at
2:02
some of the specific uh data protection
2:04
tools that Zoho offers can can you give
2:06
us a kind of a an overview of some of
2:09
the uh some of the tools that that Zoho
2:12
uh developed to protect business data or
2:15
has to protect business data so uh today
2:19
our security tag with with four
2:22
different solutions starting with our
2:24
browser followed by the identity and
2:27
access management platform and the
2:29
multia authentication and a password
2:31
manager so if you go in a chronological
2:34
order every single day we all wake up we
2:38
take our mobile device or a laptop we
2:40
need to authenticate first and from
2:42
there we need to open a browser to log
2:44
in all the work applications to complete
2:47
our work right so Zoho kind of gives you
2:49
this holistic picture it helps you to
2:52
authenticate your device and it gives
2:54
you a privacy first browser from which
2:56
also offers you single sign on for the
2:58
entire Zoho EO system and the dashboard
3:01
the Zogo directory dashboard helps you
3:03
to give a single sign on for third party
3:05
application as well if you are using
3:07
Sales Force if you using docy sign if
3:09
you're using Dropbox you don't need to
3:11
remember additional password so just
3:13
with one single password you do device
3:15
authentication uh you get a good browser
3:18
from there you log into all your work
3:19
application you can peacefully go uh
3:22
after the end of the day the security is
3:24
taken care of multiactor authentication
3:26
comes on top of it for shared accounts
3:28
for marketing finance and banking you
3:31
need a password manager so you need to
3:33
share password based on roles and
3:35
responsibilities so we have four levels
3:37
of password sharing that helps you uh to
3:40
share passwords based on your business
3:42
requirements let me ask you about two
3:44
terms that I that I saw creeping up in
3:46
in uh in press releases particularly
3:48
about Security First fishing detection
3:51
and crypto mining detection uh what are
3:55
they and and how do Zoho tools help
3:58
protect you against those kinds of
3:59
things uh these two techniques uh these
4:02
two uh are part of our aula browser
4:05
fishing prevention is basically
4:07
something say for example facebook.com
4:10
many times there are some malicious
4:11
website that look similar to
4:13
facebook.com where we end up giving up
4:15
our credentials the machine learning
4:17
technology which is powered by the Zoho
4:19
intelligent assistant Zia in the
4:21
background kind of helps the browser to
4:23
know the fishing sites uh which also get
4:26
away with our personal data that is the
4:28
first part of it the crypto mining
4:30
prevention so there are a lot of
4:32
websites today the GPU cost on the
4:34
hardware cost across the globe has risen
4:37
so the scammers today want to use our
4:40
personal devices to mine the data so AA
4:43
browser kind of helps you to prevent
4:45
your physical devices for from further
4:47
damage or without your permission I see
4:51
um let's drill down into something
4:53
called the conditional access um let me
4:56
ask you about Zoho to uh uh tools that
4:58
are helping business businesses use that
5:01
to manage user apps and devices and
5:03
networks and more securely can you talk
5:06
a little bit about that more specifical
5:07
access yeah conditional access basically
5:10
helps you uh with both your applications
5:13
and MFA say for example I'm an IT admin
5:17
I'm going to uh open up Salesforce only
5:20
for users from California region who
5:22
join the company from 2020 to 2022 it is
5:26
basically if else statement you can come
5:29
up with your own IFL statement based on
5:31
your business requirement this condition
5:33
is okay and then this happens as an
5:36
admin you can have any type of condition
5:38
uh within your company uh with which you
5:40
can have role based access time based
5:43
access and a lot of restrictions on top
5:45
of it see um what is Smart signin uh and
5:50
what Zoho tools uh tool uses the
5:53
technology uh to better protect data
5:55
smart signin is part of our Zoho one the
5:58
multiactor authentication system system
6:00
so all the 100 million Zoho users uh
6:03
gets access to the Zoho one system which
6:05
is basically free even if you are not
6:07
part of Zoho you can use this technology
6:10
so instead of using your password every
6:12
single time you basically authenticate
6:14
with the uh QR code or your Biometrics
6:17
so you don't need to enter your password
6:18
you can seamlessly log to your account
6:21
so that is what we call a smart signin
6:23
uh we talked about I think password
6:25
managers could you specifically kind of
6:28
Define what that is I mean we kind of
6:30
passed over it but what exactly is it
6:32
and and how how does that fit into the
6:34
whole Zoho platform to protect data a
6:37
password manager uh passwords like it or
6:39
hate it so they are here to stay it is
6:42
one of the most affordable
6:44
authentication mechanism today we have
6:46
it people talk about passwordless pass
6:49
Keys Biometrics and all that but still
6:52
passwords are easy to manage and
6:54
affordable authentication method but the
6:56
tricky part is people use uh easy to M
6:59
password like Mai 123 password one 12 3
7:02
combination of anniversary dates and all
7:04
that especially for business account if
7:07
I going to use a a password which my
7:09
friend can easily predict I am going to
7:11
be at risk they can get away with my
7:13
personal data and also with the company
7:15
data so all the companies in many
7:17
companies you could have seen they have
7:19
put all the password in spreadsheets or
7:21
some companies even print it out uh
7:23
paste it on a sticky note on top of the
7:25
laptops and all that so as an admin you
7:27
never know who access the bank account
7:29
from where and when let's take a family
7:32
example I share my Netflix password with
7:34
my friends or my parents or my siblings
7:38
so what happens here if someone is going
7:39
to change that password I'm not going to
7:41
know it right so especially in a
7:43
business environment in a sh account uh
7:46
you need to put all your business
7:48
password into a wall and share it with
7:50
different levels of access Privileges
7:52
and you need to have uh good audit
7:54
trials uh that records who accessed the
7:57
password where from when and all that
7:59
and the NIS compliance says that the
8:01
password requirement should be between 8
8:03
to 32 characters it should have
8:05
multiactor and all that it it is part of
8:09
complaints for larger companies as well
8:11
got it okay well thank you uh that was
8:14
amol Don Dy and he is the uh evangelist
8:18
