To stay resilient, businesses must adopt comprehensive security strategies that protect their digital assets across every layer of their operations.

This rising demand has paved the way for cybersecurity solution providers to play a pivotal role in enterprise safety. These providers offer the tools, technologies, and expertise necessary to defend against ever-evolving threats. From securing endpoints and networks to managing cloud infrastructure and safeguarding sensitive data, their solutions help organizations maintain business continuity and trust in a hyper connected world.

In conversation with Vishal Salvi, CEO, Seqrite

Where is Seqrite positioned in the market today?

Seqrite has firmly established itself as a leading force in enterprise cyber

security, both in India and internationally. At the core of its advanced security frame work is its patented AI technology, GoDeep. AI, which enables real-time detection and neutralization of complex threats. Its solutions, including Endpoint Protection (EPP), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Data Privacy Management, are tailored to the specific needs of enterprises and backed by international certifications from organizations like AV-Test and AVLab Poland.

A key differentiator for Seqrite is its strong emphasis on research and innovation. This is led by Seqrite Labs, India’s largest malware analysis facility, where the team has consistently identified zero-day vulner -abilities and mitigated advanced threats like the Expiro infector. Seqrite also plays a crucial role in protecting national infrastructure and is the first Indian cybersecurity company to collaborate with the U.S. government, contributing to initiatives like the NIST NCCoE’s Data Classification project and the US AISIC.

With deep Indian roots and a growing global presence, Seqrite is more than just a cybersecurity provider, it is a trusted partner committed to innovation, simplification, and securing the digital future of enterprises and governments alike.

What are your flagship data protection and privacy solutions? How do you help organizations effectively protect sensitive data and maintain customer trust?

Seqrite delivers a robust range of data protection and privacy solutions tailored to meet the evolving security needs of modern enterprises. At the core is a powerful Data Privacy Management solution that helps organizations locate, categorize, and secure sensitive data across on-premise and cloud environments. This ensures adherence to global data protection regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and India’s DPDP Act.

To further strengthen data security, Seqrite’s Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools provide visibility and control over data flows, helping prevent accidental or malicious data leaks across email, cloud services, and removable devices. Their Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enforces strict access controls by verifying every user and device before granting access, while Endpoint Protection (EPP) shields systems from malware, ransomware, and targeted attacks.
