Welcome to the first Alectio newsletter! We’ve been hard at work building out our platform, building on our research, and building up a library of content about both. The folks at Forbes took notice and we’re eager to share it with you as well!

First off, if you’ve been waiting for our on-prem solution, we have good news. We’re hard at work on it and will be looking for beta testers soon. Please reply to this email or let us know at info@alectio.com.

We’ve also been writing a lot about our research and wanted to share what we’ve been learning:
