AI-powered security must match attack speed while keeping data sovereign

Jay Thakker, Director, Solutions Engineering, Eventus Security

 

“Attackers are now using AI to generate phishing at scale, change malware on the fly and automate reconnaissance. A security operation that depends on analysts hand-writing rules will always be a step behind. At Eventus, we have built AI into every stage of the SOC lifecycle, from ingestion through to response. Our AI pipeline generates new detection rules automatically, typically in under 30 minutes, and our autonomous AI Investigator reduces the Mean Time to Respond for Critical and High incidents from hours to mere minutes.

Our core principle is that security telemetry is itself sensitive data and should be protected that way. Our AI enrichment runs on LLMs hosted within a sovereign MeitY-compliant data center, so customer logs are not sent to third-party public AI services for analysis. For government, BFSI and critical-infrastructure organizations, we also offer fully on-premises SOC deployments. This model fits with India’s regulatory direction, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, CERT-In’s incident-reporting timelines, and sector frameworks from RBI and SEBI.

Eventus has engineered its own platform end to end instead of assembling third-party tools. Our Rust-based collector and data pipeline each handle around one million events per second. Persona-based analytics and SOC health KPIs turn security into outcomes leadership can track. For Indian enterprises moving to an AI-first economy, AI-powered security needs to match the speed of AI-powered attacks while keeping data sovereign and compliance demonstrable.”
