Marshal uncovers 1.5 million data threats in 48 hours

We created Marshal to be the easiest way for anyone to discover exposed sensitive data in their cloud services. Since we officially opened up the public beta on Wednesday, Marshal has scanned nearly 500,000 files to help people uncover more than 1.5 million pieces of sensitive information that were exposed in their cloud accounts.

Marshal works by plugging into your Box, Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive accounts. Once you give it permission, Marshal scans all the files in your accounts to find exposed sensitive data threats such as Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers, phone numbers and email addresses.

As we all store more data in the cloud and share that data with more people, it’s easy to lose track of what information is lying there, unprotected. We built Marshal because we believe every business should know exactly what it’s sharing.

If you are one of the people who tried Marshal (or are going to), drop us a line and let us know what you think! We’re always looking to make improvements to the service.
