Confidencial will demonstrate its selective protection technology at ISC2 Security Congress on October 27 in Aurora, Colorado, alongside Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, the company said. The session runs from 10:35 to 11:05 a.m. MT in Expo Hall Theater 3 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, according to [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/article/950131968/live).

## Confidencial's Live Demo With Orrick

Karim Eldefrawy, co-founder and CTO of [Confidencial](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0004zse/confidencial), will give a live demonstration titled "It's Not What They Break Into. It's What They Leave With." The demo will show what an attacker gets from a stolen document when sensitive content is selectively encrypted. Confidencial says its technology can encrypt sensitive fields, cells and paragraphs to limit exposure in stolen or misdirected files.

Joe Spinoso, director of security infrastructure at [Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0003f3g/orrick-herrington-sutcliffe), will discuss how defining critical assets changes security priorities and risk management. Confidencial says protection can travel with documents as they move through email, cloud platforms, external partners and AI tools. The company says access controls and audit trails remain attached to the data, and access can be revoked after sharing.

Eldefrawy will be available onsite for media interviews and product demonstrations. Kevin Dacey, vice president of customer solutions and success, and Adam Draper, vice president of sales and alliances, will also attend for sales discussions and demonstrations. Confidencial says its crypto-agile architecture is designed to address "harvest now, decrypt later" risk. The company's selective protection technology was developed through DARPA-funded research at SRI International.
