“Without historical data, you can’t analyze what attackers were up to in the early stages of a threat,” Gene Stevens, cofounder and chief technology officer at ProtectWise, said in a ProtectWise Case Study with AWS. “Empowering security researchers to quickly analyze large stores of historical data helps them understand their adversaries.”

Instead of relying on generic policies and time-consuming forms, our AI will analyze existing data to generate bespoke, right-sized policies.

Our goal is to take an expensive, fragmented process and introduce simplicity, ease of use, and lower costs,” he added. “We are focusing on automating the process and offering tools directly to the market.”
