ANSecurity and Gemalto help Trustology
deliver Blockchain innovation
A
NSecurity, a specialist in advanced
network and data security, has
announced a successful project with
Gemalto to help Trustology deliver
innovative Blockchain technology used to
secure digital assets.
Blockchain has become a hot technology
concept but 2019 will be the year that its
adoption will start to enter the wider market
beyond cryptocurrencies. ANSecurity is
working with a UK pioneer to ensure that
security is at the forefront.
Trustology, recently featured in the
FinTech50 Hot 10 list for 2018, is developing
technology and services to help private and
institutional clients secure digital assets. Its
first product, TrustVault, is a step change in
key management. It combines un-matched
private key protection against cyber and
physical threats with low latency execution,
by safekeeping private keys and control codes
inside tamper-proof, programmable hardware
security modules hosted in secure data
centres, with encrypted backups in the cloud.
To deliver its breakthrough solution,
Trustology has worked closely with Gemalto
and systems integrator ANSecurity to
help build an innovative solution that uses
Gemalto Hardware Security Modules (HSM).
Trustology has created a bespoke
solution that has its software embedded
within the HSM, a dedicated crypto
processor that is specifically designed for
the protection of the crypto key lifecycle,
which uses Blockchain to further strengthen
and scale its advanced cryptographic
infrastructure service.
SANS Cyber Security Middle East Summit &
Training 2019 held in Abu Dhabi
S
ANS has held the first SANS Cyber
Security Middle East Summit and
Training event.
The 2019 Summit was held in April in Abu
Dhabi, at the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr Hotel.
This event will be the first in a series of
SANS Summits to be held in the Middle East.
In addition to the summit, world-class
SANS courses are being offered to help
participants expand their information
security expertise. SANS instructors
are experienced industry practitioners
considered to be among the best
cybersecurity instructors in the world. They
will provide those taking part and their
community with the expert guidance and
skills needed to stop cyberattacks against
their organisations.
Ned Baltagi, Managing Director,
Middle East and Africa at SANS Institute,
12
said: “Organisations in the region
continue to experience a shortage of
cybersecurity professionals, which is
creating overwhelming pressure on their
inadequately staffed cybersecurity teams.
The shortage of cybersecurity professionals
around the globe has never been more acute.
In fact, a recent Gartner survey reveals that
only 65% of organisations globally have
cybersecurity experts. It, thus, becomes
even more important to invest in developing
cybersecurity skills of the future, today.”
