ETHIACK, the startup founded by IASP member UPTEC, was the only Portuguese company to be selected to be part of a group of 17 other companies to participate in the @Google for Startups Growth Academy: AI for Cybersecurity program. ETHIACK presents a continuous offensive security testing platform based on AI that allows you to identify vulnerabilities in real time.

The UPTEC startup was selected for offering an AI-based platform to carry out continuous offensive security tests, allowing it to identify real-time vulnerabilities with 99% accuracy and recommend the necessary measures to correct them. This program lasts three months and is aimed at the most promising startups that use Artificial Intelligence technology to grow and innovate responsibly in cybersecurity.
