AI, ML, AUTOMATION - BACKBONE FOR ETEK’S PLATFORMS  
ETEK focuses on protecting its clients from both signature and non – signature-based attacks, aka Zero Day Attacks. ETEK understood that it needs to tap into the vast amount of data generated by digital systems and networks to identify patterns, anomalies, and potential threats with greater accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, all the solutions that are part of its Go - to - Market are 100% AI and ML driven whether it is the SOC Platform, Threat Intel Platform, Data Protection Platform, Server Protection, etc. you name it.  

These platforms are leveraged by ETEK’s expert team of more than 200 cybersecurity specialists to analyze and respond to security incidents more effectively, mitigate risks, and adapt to evolving cyber threats.  

DATA SECURITY & PROTECTION 
There are majorly six stages in the data lifecycle - i.e., Create, Store, Use, Share, Archive and Dispose. To protect one’s data, it is critical to protect it along each of these stages. Each of these stages has specific set of requirements related to data protections - 

1.    Data discovery and classification is required in the Create, Store and Use stage 
2.    Data loss protection and Access control is required in the Use and Share Stage 
3.    Data Encryption is required for the Archive and Dispose stage 

A lot of the organizations are using manual effort to classify data, create policies and implement controls. Manual effort will take upwards of 6 months to be fully deployed while the data protection should start at the click of a button which is what we are trying to provide through our solution. 

ETEK believes in working with a platform that leverages the power of AI and ML to automatically discover, detect and classify data, defined policies and access controls based on the user role / function and job profile and finally ensure that no malicious leakage takes place in the system.
