Key Terms

iso, data exfiltration

2 terms

iso technical

"We sailed through our ISO and other security audits thanks to the information"

An ISO is an incentive stock option, a form of employee benefit that lets workers buy company shares at a set price after a waiting period. It matters to investors because issuing ISOs can dilute existing shares and aligns employee incentives with long-term stock performance—think of it like giving employees coupons to buy future stock at today’s price, which can motivate growth but increase share count when used.

data exfiltration technical

"improve threat detection and surgically disrupt cyberattacks and data exfiltration."

Data exfiltration is the unauthorized copying or removal of sensitive information from an organization’s systems, like someone sneaking files out of a locked office. It matters to investors because stolen data can lead to direct financial loss, regulatory fines, legal liability, damage to customer trust, and operational disruption — all of which can reduce revenue and share value and create unpredictable costs for the company.
