Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Everything Blockchain Inc., (OTCMKTS: EBZT), a technology company that is blending blockchain, DBMS and Zero Trust to deliver disruptive new ways to store, manage and protect data, today announced that EB Control has been named the “Secure Communications Solution of the Year” in the 7^th Annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program. 

Judged by an individual panel of experts, this award program recognizes the top companies, products, innovations, and people in the cybersecurity industry that are breaking through the information security noise. The evaluation criteria for the program are focused on innovative solutions and companies that address a true need, solve a complex or critical problem or seize an opportunity to create or revolutionize a new market or industry. All entries were judged based on performance, ease of use and manageability and functionality.  From thousands of nominations, EBI was selected alongside major industry players including CrowdStrike, Proofpoint, Fortinet, HUMAN Security, and VMWare.

EB Control delivers zero-trust data protection to small and mid-size businesses without the cost or expertise typically required to manage it. An enterprise version of EB Control is planned for release at the end of the year.  The platform safeguards data on an owner's local device by creating a secure vault that provides a unique combination of features and functionality across the lifecycle of the data, including the ability to store, transport, or share data while maintaining total ownership and control. Data and files can be geo-fenced, time-fenced, and data rights management invoked so that data can be securely shared and controlled outside of your secure domain. EB Control’s application can be used on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android by using app.ebcontrol.io. EB Control provides users with the ability to:

• Control who can access your data.
• Use time-fencing to control when data can be accessed.
• Use geofencing to control where data can be accessed.
• Enforce how your data is accessed (DRM – no forward, copy, print or save)
• Revoke access at any time

This year, EBI released EB Control 2.0, which included critical updates like:

• Security enhancements that separate user and administrative portals to prevent data from intermingling, providing enterprises with a heightened level of security.
• Clear and concise reporting for security teams including usage and access, encrypted and decrypted data, installations, new accounts, and active users.
• A refreshed interface and updated navigation that is user friendly and intuitive.

“We’re thrilled to be named a winner in the 2023 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards,” said Toney Jennings, CEO of EBI. “We’ve been dedicated to our mission of simplifying the pursuit of true data protection since day one here at EBI, and recognition like this energizes our team for what’s to come. As 2023 comes to a close, we look forward to expanding our presence in the market, and helping companies maintain complete control over their data in 2024 and beyond.”
