Redefining Cybersecurity with AI Innovation: DTEX and AWS Lead the Way

4

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, organizations face an ever-growing challenge: detecting and mitigating insider risks before they escalate into full-blown security incidents. With data breaches, intellectual property theft, and accidental data loss on the rise, security teams are overwhelmed by an endless influx of alerts, fragmented data, and time-consuming investigations.

At DTEX, we believe artificial intelligence (AI) is a critical force multiplier in addressing these challenges. But AI alone isn’t enough. To be truly effective, AI must be purpose-built, explainable, and seamlessly integrated into the workflows of security teams. This is why DTEX is making strategic investments in AI innovation, culminating in Ai³ (DTEX’s AI Insider Risk Assistant) and a deep collaboration with AWS’s Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC).

This partnership isn’t just about adding AI for the sake of it. It’s about fundamentally transforming how organizations detect, investigate, and mitigate insider threats—empowering security teams with faster insights, greater accuracy, and enhanced privacy protections.

DTEX CEO Marshall Heilman shares how DTEX is partnering with AWS to drive AI innovation.

Why AI Innovation is Critical for Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is often a game of reaction—analysts are inundated with data, manually piecing together patterns of behavior to determine risk. Traditional rule-based and heuristic approaches struggle to keep up with the complexity of modern work environments, where risk signals are subtle and constantly evolving.

AI offers a shift from reactive to proactive security. Generative AI and machine learning can process massive datasets in real time, surface hidden risks, and automate repetitive investigative tasks. However, AI innovation in cybersecurity must be responsible, secure, and transparent—ensuring that it enhances human decision-making rather than creating blind spots or false positives.

This is where DTEX’s Ai³ Risk Assistant is leading the way.

How DTEX is Investing in and Innovating with AI

DTEX has long been at the forefront of AI-driven insider risk management, having leveraged behavioral research-based machine learning models since our incorporation. With the launch of Ai³, we are redefining how security teams interact with data.

Ai³ enables analysts to:

  • Automate repetitive tasks like data retrieval, risk scoring, and report generation.
  • Use conversational AI to ask natural language queries and receive instant insights.
  • Scale semantic search to identify risks more effectively across vast data sets.
  • Enhance privacy protections through AI-powered redaction of personally identifiable information (PII).

Our collaboration with AWS has played a crucial role in accelerating these capabilities. By leveraging Amazon Bedrock, we have built an AI ecosystem that is both efficient and secure—eliminating manual work and allowing analysts to focus on high-value strategic decisions.

DTEX and AWS: Extending AI Innovation to the Industries That Need It Most

DTEX’s partnership with AWS’s Generative AI Innovation Center is a game-changer for industries facing heightened insider risks, such as technology, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government.

Through this collaboration, DTEX has:

  • Refined AI-driven risk investigation workflows, reducing prompt management complexity by 45%.
  • Integrated advanced AI guardrails to preserve privacy and prevent out-of-scope AI usage.
  • Enhanced analyst efficiency, reducing manual investigation time by 30%.
  • Developed new generative AI prototypes that scale semantic search and automate risk assessments.

The AWS GenAIIC has been instrumental in identifying the optimal AI frameworks, governance models, and regional model support strategies for DTEX, ensuring that our AI-driven solutions are robust, scalable, and enterprise ready.
