Safetica Technologies
Safetica Technologies is a European data loss prevention software (DLP) vendor. Safetica DLP is designed for contextual protection of data at the endpoint level. It blocks erroneous or malicious actions which might lead to sensitive files leaving a company. Safetica can also identify wasted costs connected with low work productivity or ineffective use of software licenses or wasted print.
History
The company's history goes back to 2007 when a group of security professionals led by the founder Jakub Mahdal started developing security solutions in the Czech Republic. In 2011 the company started using name Safetica Technologies and introduced the first version of product called Safetica DLP. Soon it partnered with a top-class investor Ondřej Tomek, put $1,000,00 in research and development and got its first customers abroad. In 2013 Safetica started distribution to the markets in Asia and in the Middle East.
In 2015 Safetica Technologies received $1,500,000 investment for further product development and Petr Žikeš became the new CEO.
In 2016, Safetica Technologies expanded to serve North America and opened its US headquarters in North Carolina. Security technology veteran Luke Walling joined to build the business and manage the operation in the market, including the launch of a market-specific web property, safeticausa.com. The company targets the small and medium-sized enterprise as well as reseller partners such as VARs and managed service providers there.
Also in 2016 the company partnered with global antivirus company ESET to bundle its products with their award-winning antivirus products, which means that Safetica is distributed throughout their global sales network covering 180 countries.
