“Being named as one of the most progressive employers in Minnesota, based on our employees’ feedback, is an honor and I want to thank our team,” said Joe Payne, Code42 president and CEO. “At Code42, we strive to create a workplace and culture where our employees can thrive professionally and personally – from the innovative insider risk solutions we deliver to the career development and community outreach we support.”

Star Tribune Publisher Michael J. Klingensmith said, “The companies in the Star Tribune Top 150 Workplaces deserve high praise for creating the very best work environments in the state of Minnesota. My congratulations to each of these exceptional companies.”

The Code42 insider risk solution provides a company-wide and segmented view of suspicious file movement, sharing and exfiltration activities. It sorts that activity by file type, user and vector, such as email, Dropbox, iCloud, USB, browser uploads, Slack and others. This information allows security teams to identify unusual data trends, gaps in security awareness and Shadow IT.

Code42’s insider risk solution has received a number of industry awards in 2020, including a gold Stevie Award, a CyberDefense Magazine InfoSec Award for Best Insider Threat Detection and a Cybersecurity Excellence Gold Award for Best Insider Threat Solution.
