Schroders is a global investment manager.
We help institutions, intermediaries, and individuals
across the planet meet their goals, fulfill their ambitions,
and prepare for the future.
Tessian, for me, gives an opportunity
to an organization to take a proactive step
to actually prevent the bad things happening
in the first place.
And I think that's very important.
What has historically been the approach to
this sort of problem is, how do you
detect it after it's happened.
Trying to move that, so you're actually
preventing it happening in the first place is
a tremendous leap forward.
The advantage of going down an AI and a machine learning route is
that you change the problem that you're trying to solve.
You move away from saying how do you identify this data,
to actually what are the patterns that might indicate
that something is happening here that we might want
to either stop happening or warn somebody is about to happen.
And if you have that outlook, if you have the ability
to change the problem you're trying to solve,
then you can come up with some really, really innovative ways,
as I think Tessian has, to help us to identify
things that are suspicious.
I think Tessian is probably the first company
that I've worked with in the security space where
as a company, Tessian probably didn't
realize the value of what they were bringing to me.
The speed at which I was seeing a return on
the investment, and that's really
quite unusual in a security space.
It's extremely rare to see that sort of quick visibility,
that quick return on investment, and the benefits
to an organization.
So it's really quite a unique experience for us.
The companies that are really interesting to work with
are the ones who try and solve a different problem.
And so where, if you look at Tessian and a topic
like data loss prevention, there's only so far
you can tune a rule-based solution.
The point to which you say, actually, let's
just not try and solve the problem in that way anymore,
and you take the AI based approach.
I think the excitement that being aligned with Tessian
for long term brings to Schroders
is just the constant innovation, the genuine enthusiasm
to understand the real risk that exists in the organizations,
and the rapid development.
There are so many opportunities to take value from and insight
from the data that is collected, and then
to turn that into defenses that can be applied
both in a preventative and detective mode
is just really fantastic. [MUSIC
