Background:
FutraTec LLC. Solutions was established in 2003 as a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). The company initially focused on providing small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with robust IT infrastructure management, proactive network monitoring, and cybersecurity protection.

FutraTec LLC. expanded its focus, hiring AI specialists and data scientists to pivot into AI-driven cybersecurity solutions. By 2018, the company had started to build partnerships with leading technology firms in the AI and machine learning space, integrating these capabilities into their service offerings. This transition allowed FutraTec LLC. to broaden its expertise beyond simple security management, offering clients deep insights into their security posture and proactive threat intelligence.
