# Fact about the origin of the Talsec name

Talos, a remarkable figure in Greek mythology, was a giant bronze automaton, crafted either by Hephaestus or Daedalus. His sole duty was to protect the island of Crete, tirelessly patrolling its shores. Circling the island three times a day, Talos would hurl stones at approaching ships to fend off intruders, symbolizing unwavering vigilance and defense.

In essence, Talos embodies constant protection — just like Talsec’s approach to security.

Happy Cybersecurity Month — stay vigilant, stay secure!
