Security and Swedish data hosting were decisive - why Sitevision chose Elastx for its AI initiative

When Sitevision set out to integrate AI into its platform, the requirements were crystal clear: the same level of security, control, and regulatory compliance as the rest of its offering. That immediately ruled out many alternatives and made the choice of Elastx a key factor. - Security, Swedish data hosting, and the fact that they truly understand our requirements were absolutely decisive in our choice. For us at Sitevision, using a third party in, for example, the United States is simply not an option. Our customers need to know that their data stays where it belongs and is not used to train external models. That’s where Elastx was a perfect match, says Alexander Gustafsson, Senior Solution Architect and Head of Presales at Sitevision.

DDoS protection now included

Organized crime groups, driven by profit and power, have recognized the immense potential of cybercrime. By leveraging their resources, expertise, and global reach, these groups have turned to DDoS attacks as one of the strategic tools to achieve their objectives. A single DDoS attack can cripple a website or network, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users. Businesses lose revenue, customer confidence plummets, and reputations are tarnished, all at the hands of malicious actors operating in the shadows.

Svenska skattepengar till amerikanska IT-jättar

Vi på Elastx är stolta över den svenska välfärdsmodellen. Vi vill betala skatt här i Sverige och stötta samhället som vi lever i. När jag då läser om att regeringen öser svenska skattemedel till de amerikanska IT-jättarna så blir jag riktigt förbannad.
