- Dune Security — AI fighting AI.CISOs face an impossible risk landscape today. 80% of cybersecurity breaches start because of employee error. The problem is exacerbating with generative AI, as a single hacker can specifically target thousands of employees in the same amount of time that they used to specifically target tens of employees with social engineering.CISOs lack tools to deal with employee risk and are held accountable when a breach inevitably happens.By leveraging AI at each step, Dune Security empowers organizations to quantify individual risk through analyzing user behavior, context, learning patterns, and third party data. This allows the automation of tailored cybersecurity measures to each individual, transforming vulnerabilities into strengths. Dune is the central engine of all employee risk data, which is a solution that is not just timely for organizations but necessary in navigating the present cybersecurity landscape. This gives the CISO the capability to understand who are the high risk employees, to what extent, and why - as well as automatically remediate and restrict access to keep their organization safe.Today, Dune Security uniquely replaces legacy and ineffective security awareness training by pinpointing the crucial 8% of employees responsible for 80% of the risk, ensuring all employees receive personalized, machine learning-driven training tailored to their risk profile. CISOs also have easy access to quantifiable data via robust reporting and API-out capability, enabling them to both report to compliance auditors, regulators, and insurance underwriters, as well as restrict access to high-risk employees through other security systems.

- Plunes — PLUNES is a utility network where anyone can have your own Lawyer and Doctor anywhere anytime. Students can also join and have some real experience of solving client's conerns with experienced professionals. You can start debate with anyone and can create Video CVs and Video Presentations. In the age of internet you are bombarded withinformation you just start typing and options are plenty, but most of it is paid ads or links which are optimized by professionals to result on top on search engines while searching something. Every word that you type is sold to advertisers. So you have very little options to determine the credibility of the information of Lawyers or doctors that you get, as because we generally choose first few links on the search engines it results in increasing costs of the consultations that we wanted because of the monopoly of few top players who can afford to place ads on top of search engines. You will agree with us when we tell you that an online legal or medical consultation cost thousands of rupees. And if by chance there is any document or reports that you need to verify it again will cost you thousands. And again there are reliability issues. You cannot determine the quality of advice you received. Apart from that you have to pay in advance and then wait for the appointment to be scheduled. Where in PLUNES offer you an opportunity to have your own lawyer and doctor anywhere anytime for free. You can send notices, verify documents or medical reports by just sitting over your sofa. You can determine the location, experience and area of expertise of a Lawyer or Doctor before consulting them you can even check the previous consultations he/she has offered. Options are plenty to determine the credibility or availability of any professional. We ensure that you can best validate the solution that is offered to you. And so to achieve that we have created PLUNES in a manner that as soon as you receive the solution from one professional other lawyers or doctors of same expertise can also offer the solution on your concern. They can subject the solution to challenge if it is not correct. And then there is an option of PROFESSIONALS ON DEMAND, you can "hire lawyer or doctor instantly" no more pending scheduled appointments. You can have telephonic consultations, email consultations, video consultations or chat with professionals all for up to 24 hours. Send notices, review reports all by just sitting over your sofa, still if situation demands you can meet the professionals in person. Now the question is what is a utility network? Utility network is where anyone can Connect, Earn and Learn, and is offered with compelling services which helps you increase your various skills, few of the features are following.
