🎃 “The Real Horror This Halloween? Unprotected Data.” Ghosts. Goblins. Hackers. Only one of them can steal your identity. This Halloween, most people fear monsters in masks. We fear unprotected data hiding behind APIs. 👻 Here are 5 spooky data security mistakes that can haunt your business: Shadow AI apps → Employees using unapproved AI tools that leak sensitive info. Unmasked datasets → Storing personal data without proper anonymization. Cursed prompts → Accidentally revealing private info while “testing” generative AI. Zombie access keys → Old credentials that never die (and attackers love them). The “It won’t happen to us” spell → The most dangerous one of all. 🧙♂️ This Halloween, protect your data before it turns into a nightmare. Every October, people hunt monsters. At Protecto, we hunt data leaks. 💬 What’s the scariest data security mistake you’ve seen? #HappyHalloween2025 #ProtectoAI

Data Security for Agentic AI. Identify what matters. Protect without limits.
About us
Protecto is the data security platform for Agentic AI. We enable autonomous systems to act safely across sensitive enterprise data in real-time. As AI agents automate workflows across data sources, MCPs, tool calls, and multi-agent orchestration, they expose confidential information at scale. Traditional security tools block data outright, killing AI utility. Worse, they only detect PII—missing business confidential data, IP, salaries, discounts, and strategic information. We identify semantically. Our context-aware detection understands what's sensitive beyond standard compliance entities—catching business confidential data, intellectual property, compliance-sensitive information (PII, PHI, PCI), and custom organizational risks. We mask intelligently with format-preserving tokenization that preserves AI reasoning. We enforce zero-trust policies in real-time across prompts, RAG, tool calling, and agent workflows—without adding latency. Enterprise-Ready: Deep integrations with Active Directory and IAM systems. Policy-driven access control. On-premises and cloud deployment. GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and data residency compliance. Audit-ready logging. Asynchronous processing scales to billions of records. Used by Fortune 100 companies. PoC to production: weeks, not months.

Most enterprise AI projects don’t fail because of bad models; they fail because of what’s around them. Guardrails. Data quality. Monitoring. Governance. When those fall apart, even the best AI can’t scale. In this chat, Amar Kanagaraj (Founder & CEO, Protecto) and Manoj Mohan break down what it really takes to build and scale as an AI-native company, and why the 3GF Framework might change how you think about enterprise AI. 🎥 Watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/gEjfZE-4 💬 What’s your take — do you think most AI projects fail because of tech, or leadership alignment?

Despite complex guardrails and compliance efforts, security failures persist in LLMs. The challenge? It’s not just about protecting prompts. It's about securing the entire data context that flows through these models. At Protecto, we enable enterprises to keep sensitive data local while preserving AI accuracy, going beyond simple masking to full context-aware security. #AI #Protecto #Poll #LLM

5 Insights from GITEX Global 2025 Dubai This region has always connected worlds - and now it’s connecting technologies. As a first-time visitor, I met customers, partners, and sparked new collaborations I hadn’t imagined before the trip. 1) AI is quietly becoming the new infrastructure. From public services to cybersecurity, AI is now the invisible layer powering everything. 2) Dubai is betting big to be the AI capital of the new world. One-day licenses, zero income tax, massive digital-economy goals. It’s not just attracting innovation - it’s building the runway for it. 3) Quantum, space, and robotics are closer than it seems. Quantum-safe encryption, processors, compute platforms, they’re moving fast from theory to traction. 4) Partnerships are the new power move. Startups, governments, and enterprises are co-creating at incredible speed. Here, collaboration is the default mode. 5) The Middle East is once again the bridge of the world. Founders from China, the US, India, Africa - all under one roof, all building the same AI future. Grateful to experience it firsthand. Excited for what comes next. #Gitex #GitexGlobal #Dubai #AI

Sovereign data. Powerful AI. Secure future. That was the message echoing across GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai - where data sovereignty took center stage. From OpenAI and G42’s fireside on sovereign AI, to local cloud frameworks, the takeaway was clear: Control over your data defines control over your AI future. That’s exactly what Protecto enables: helping enterprises use public LLMs from Google, OpenAI and others, while keeping data fully compliant with PDPL and regional laws. Your data stays sovereign. Your AI stays powerful. Thrilled with the strong partner reception. The momentum toward sovereign AI is unmistakable. Protecto #GITEXGlobal2025 #DataSovereignty #AI #Protecto #PrivacyTech #PDPL
