CloudSek Ties up With GO-JEK for Cyber-security Solutions

BENGALURU, July 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)-based cyber-security enterprise CloudSek has tied up with GO-JEK, Indonesia's premier transportation on-demand, logistics and payment enterprise for a multi-year deal. GO-JEK has selected CloudSek's Next Generation cyber-security platforms, x-vigil and cloudmo.

CloudSek Co-founder, Rahul Sasi says the deal is a vindication of CloudSek's vision and belief in AI/ML as a sustainable solution for customer facing, data-intense enterprises' next level cyber-security needs. The platforms deployed at GO-JEK will help prevent and monitor cyber threats on a real-time basis, providing tremendous value to its stakeholders.

"Initial trials done on CloudSek's platform proved very insightful. It is next to impossible to monitor everything out there, but we have a high degree of confidence in what CloudSek's platform can help us monitor. It's our early warning system," says Sheran Gunasekera, Group Chief Information Security Officer for GO-JEK.

The cyber-security market which was valued at $75 billion in 2015 is estimated to grow to $170 billion by 2020 and CloudSek is one of the pioneers in deploying AI as a solution. With the rise in cloud-based technology and services, information is no longer stored in one's own infrastructure. It is spread across cloud storages, infrastructure managed by third-party vendors and others. Any security breaches with cloud services or a third-party vendor indirectly compromises one's data. This is primarily what CloudSek's AI technology monitors.

"To give an example, a huge number of hacked infrastructure info is available on the dark web because of third-party data leaks. Our AI technology automatically monitors these and matches them against our customers' infrastructure to proactively identify security risks," explains Rahul.

CloudSek's proprietary AI/ML-based platforms are being used across numerous industry segments ranging from FMCG and video conferencing to BFSI (Banking, Financial services and Insurance).
