Can you give us a brief overview of HSC as a company and its backstory?
HSC is a company based in Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil. We develop cybersecurity solutions and promote awareness to prevent advanced attacks and keep users safe. We understand that true protection involves a combination of robust solutions, continuous monitoring, employee training, and strategic risk management. We are not just cybersecurity specialists—we are innovators. For nearly 20 years, we have been fully dedicated to security, researching emerging threats, developing cutting-edge technologies, and delivering intelligent solutions to protect businesses.What different types of email security do you offer and how much are they different from each other?
We created MailInspector, an AI-powered email security solution. It employs advanced technologies with more than 40 layers of protection to detect and neutralize even the most sophisticated email threats, such as phishing, ransomware, and Business Email Compromise (BEC). It can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud and integrates with Microsoft 365, Google, Zimbra, and other platforms. Our intelligent approach to email security includes behavioral analysis, machine learning algorithms, sandboxing, and CDR, as well as integration with SIEM, XDR, NDR, and EDR platforms, among other capabilities.What can you tell me about MindAware and what can people hope to learn through your security training?
MindAware is a comprehensive cybersecurity awareness solution within a fully customizable training platform, allowing companies to centralize all corporate training programs. With in-house content production, we offer security training programs from basic to advanced levels, empowering teams to recognize and respond to threats, transforming them into a human firewall against attacks. Additionally, we conduct phishing attack simulations to assess user maturity and create a continuous awareness cycle within organizations.What benefits does your Smart Defender offer?
Smart Defender is HSC’s advanced AI-driven threat protection platform. It is a proprietary technology natively integrated into our solutions to ensure effective security. Leveraging a global threat intelligence database, it analyzes files, IP addresses, domains, and URLs in real time and can be integrated into other platforms via API. Currently, Smart Defender processes over 1 billion IOCs (Indicators of Compromise) daily and offers key features such as sandboxing, URL filtering, behavioral analysis, adult content blocking, and image analysis, among others.What can we expect from the company going forward?
HSC is deeply committed to fostering a secure and seamless use of technology. Our innovative solutions focus on email security, which remains the primary attack vector, and user protection, the so-called “weakest link” in cybersecurity. We are making significant investments in AI-driven technologies, shifting from merely reacting to attacks to proactively preventing them. Automation will enhance real-time threat monitoring, identifying vulnerabilities before they can cause damage. Additionally, user education and awareness based on real-world attack scenarios will be fundamental to effectively addressing this challenge.To learn more about HSC, you can visit hsclabs.com
