 *WISeKey Introduces INeS #Think2018, a Security Broker Solution, Designed to Secure Devices, Cloud & IOT Applications, Integrated with IBM's new Watson IoT Platform*

*INeS' integration with IBM's new Watson Internet of Things (IoT) platform which implements a "message broker" that allows the exchange of information between devices and business applications, provides additional security, authentication and data encryption using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology  *

ZUG, Switzerland, Las Vegas - March 20, 2018 - WISeKey International Holding Ltd ("WISeKey", SIX: WIHN), a leading cybersecurity and IoT company, today announced the introduction of WISeKey's Security Broker solution, called INeS. WISeKey's INeS, is a set of cloud components designed for large scale IoT applications and based on standard and proven technologies (PKI, cryptographic Root of Trust, Digital certificates).

The Internet of Things will live up to its promise only if the connected devices, the data they generate, the business applications that control these devices and the services around them, can be fully trusted.  In today's environment, where cyberattacks have become more common and increasingly sophisticated, there is an urgent need to fundamentally rethink the Security Stack for the IOT cloud.

WISeKey's IoT security framework WISeKeyIoT is built on the use of digital certificates stored both in tamper resistant secure elements such as the WISeKey VaultIC407 and Business Applications, while INeS operates in the back-end to enable authentication of these IoT devices and Business Applications.

This solution relies upon the proven ISTANA PKI platform, WISeKey's advanced solution specifically tailored to match the needs of IoT. Using state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms, the ISTANA PKI platform is designed tomeet the highest standards to issue, manage and validate digital credentials for IoT, and is scalable to support environments with hundreds of millions of devices. Additionally, INeS features Entity Management (Identities, Group, Type, Role, Life Cycle, any custom attributes), Message Security Policy Management and Business Rules Management and it interfaces with both -  the Cloud infrastructure and Business Applications.

INeS is capable to remotely identify credentials and control activation, deactivation, revocation, renewal and securely provision (point to point secure update) for  IOT edge devices and Business Applications.  

INeS' integration with IBM's new Watson Internet of Things (IoT) platform which implements a "message broker" that allows the exchange of information between devices and business applications, provides additional security, authentication and data encryption using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology. 

This solution can be used in multiple industrial applications to: optimize productivity across industries through predictive maintenance on equipment and machinery, create truly smart homes with connected appliances, and provide critical communication between devices including self-driving cars and smart homes. The possibilities that IoT brings to the table are endless.

"With the introduction of INeS, WISeKey has expanded its offerings on IoT security and has become an essential component of any IoT platform.  INeS is designed to help companies optimize and streamline their business and at the same time mitigate revenue loss due to confidentiality issues, liability claims, denial of service attacks and the like," said Carlos Moreno, WISeKey's Senior VP of Partnerships.

*About WISeKey:*

WISeKey (SIX Swiss Exchange: WIHN) is a leading global cybersecurity company currently deploying large scale digital identity ecosystems with a patented process. WISeKey's Swiss based cryptographic Root of Trust ("RoT") provides secure authentication and identification, in both physical and virtual environments, for the Internet of Things, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence.

SEAL BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB) March 20, 2018

MagTek, the world’s leading supplier of secure payment technology, and Genesys Technologies, the global leader in omnichannel customer experience, celebrate the achievement of over a million successful payment transactions per month by CryptoPay, via the Magensa Payment Protection Gateway (MPPG).

CryptoPay Credit Card System is a proven, successful car wash and laundromat payment and management system. Because securing and processing these payments in an unattended environment is key to its success, Genesys enlisted MagTek’s hardware and Magensa Services to ensure the secure handling of customer card data. Magensa’s Service, Decrypt and Forward, is leveraged to encrypt and tokenize card data at the point of swipe and forwards the data directly to the processor, removing the need for CryptoPay to possess any unencrypted card data.

“Working with MagTek’s OEM division was fantastic. They understand the key to taking credit cards, for any merchant, is to keep the credit card data secure,” says David Richards, Vice President of Genesys Technologies. “We are able to do that, right inside the MagTek read-head and securely transport that data by using their Magensa Services.”

“Partnering with Genesys for their CryptoPay solution is a welcomed opportunity for us,” says Tom Coduto, Vice President and General Manager of OEM Sales for MagTek. “We are confident in the ability of our hardware combined with Magensa’s Services to secure payment data and we are thrilled to integrate it with CryptoPay, demonstrating both companies’ commitment to innovation and security.”

IBM predicts embedding tiny chips in products to check counterfeit​

$

0
Tech Giant IBM today predicted that within the next five years, cryptographic anchors such as ink dots, or tiny computers smaller than a grain of salt, will be embedded in objects and devices to tackle issues such as counterfeit and food safety among others.

Cryptographic anchors will be used in tandem with blockchain's distributed ledger technology to ensure an object's authenticity from its point of origin to when it reaches the hands of the customer, IBM said in a statement. "These technologies pave the way for new solutions that tackle food safety, authenticity of manufactured components, genetically modified products, identification of counterfeit objects and provenance of luxury goods, it added.

Fraud costs the global economy more than USD 600 billion a year and in some countries, nearly 70 per cent of certain life-saving drugs are counterfeit. "Complex supply chains -- comprised of dozens of suppliers in multiple countries -- make it difficult to prevent bad actors from tampering with everything from paper currency to consumer electronics. "Blockchain technology is poised as the future of digital transactions, infusing trust, efficiency and transparency into supply chains. But blockchains alone cannot ensure the authenticity of physical goods, the tech giant said.

IBM unveiled five technologies -- crypto-anchors and blockchain, lattice cryptographic anchors , AI bias , AI-powered robot microscopes and quantum computing -- that would fundamentally reshape business and society in the next five years. Arvind Krishna, Head of IBM Research, said the company believes these technologies are being developed aiming at solving societal problems. Krishna made this announcement as part of IBM Research's annual 5 in 5 technology predictions at Think 2018 , the company's flagship conference being held here.

In five years, small, autonomous AI microscopes, networked in the cloud and deployed around the world, will continually monitor in real time the health of one of Earth's most important and threatened resources -- water, it said.

The IBM scientists are working on an approach that uses plankton, which are natural, biological sensors of aquatic health. The technology would be helpful in situations like oil spills and runoff from land-based pollution sources, and to predict threats such as red tides, IBM said.

The IBM researchers have already developed a post-quantum encryption method, which is submitted to the US government called lattice cryptography. No computer can crack it, not even future quantum computers. With lattice cryptography, we can work on a file or encrypt it, without ever exposing sensitive data to hackers , it added.

Cloudian Demonstrates at NAB How Limitlessly Scalable Storage, Metadata, and Hybrid Cloud Solutions Help Speed Workflows and Monetize Content

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudian will host case-study presentations at this year’s NAB Show in Las Vegas at which media professionals from WGBH, Boston’s PBS station, and from an iconic weekend comedy show will discuss strategies to speed workflows, achieve near-instantaneous media search, and enhance asset value with object storage-based private and hybrid cloud storage systems and rich metadata.Broadcasters and post-production teams face challenges storing, protecting and searching the volume of media generated by today’s high-resolution formats. In this session, which will be presented at the NAB Show on Tuesday, April 10, at 3:30 p.m. in room N256, media professionals will discuss their strategies to meet these challenges by consolidating media into a single, limitlessly scalable environment, employing private and public clouds for automated data protection and using metadata to facilitate faster, more intelligent media search.

Also at NAB, Cloudian will demonstrate in its booth, SL6321, a workflow for media that enables customers to rapidly store, protect and search petabyte-scale media archives. The demonstration will show how cloud-based tools can be used together with Cloudian’s limitlessly scalable storage system to enrich metadata and enable rapid media search using Google-like tools.

Cloudian’s booth will also host presentations from the company’s partners, including Cisco, Quantum, WWT, SME, Komprise, eMAM, Primestream, Evolphin, DataFrameworks, Axle, FileCatalyst, Marquis Broadcast, WiZR, and others that spotlight joint solutions which better address the evolving needs of production and broadcasting professionals.

Shane Miner, senior director of technical services at WGBH, will also present a session titled “How (and Why) We Built a Hybrid Cloud Archive” as part of the co-located Broadcast Engineering and Information Technology Conference. This session will take place on Wednesday, April 11, at 4 p.m. in room N256. The WGBH solution may also be previewed in this video.  

“Many broadcast and production organizations face challenges with archive infrastructures built on tape and external hard-drive media that are hard to manage, search and protect, particularly given the growing popularity of capacity-intensive 4K and 8K media,” said Jon Toor, Cloudian CMO. “A limitlessly scalable active archive built on object storage lets teams save time and derive greater value from their media by consolidating assets to a single pool that can be metadata-enriched, instantly searched and quickly monetized.”

The cloud can also be used to apply AI to data – to search for faces or landmarks, for example – and this metadata can be automatically added to the storage object. This provides a highly granular description of the content and allows Cloudian’s integrated search tool to work increasingly well over time, making it easier and faster to find content.

*About Cloudian*
Cloudian turns information into insight with an infinitely scalable platform that consolidates, manages and protects enterprise data. Cloudian data management solutions bring cloud technology and economics to the data center with uncompromising data durability, intuitive management tools, and the industry’s most compatible S3 API.

IBM’s Watson Assistant lets any company build Alexa-like interfaces IBM is today launching Watson Assistant, a new service aimed at companies looking to build voice-activated virtual assistants for their own products. Want your hotel’s rooms to remember a guest’s preferences for air-con? Or your car’s dashboard to be controllable via voice interface? IBM’s message to companies is: we can help you build that.

It’s an interesting pitch, especially as voice assistants like Amazon’s Alexa are being integrated into new arenas. (See, for example, the Wynn Las Vegas’s decision to install Echoes in every room.)

Leading Colorado-based access control manufacturer unveils its new IP-Bridge 2.0 along with new partner integrations at Booth #11121 at ISC West in Las Vegas

BOULDER, Colo. (PRWEB) March 20, 2018

ISONAS Inc., a leading Pure IP™ access control manufacturer, today announced that the company will be unveiling its new IP-Bridge 2.0 at booth #11121 at the ISC West trade show, the largest security event in the world. The ISC West show will take place on April 11th – 13th at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, NV. At the show, ISONAS will be featuring its Pure IP™ family of hardware and software products along with the launch of the next generation of the access control encoder; the new IP-Bridge 2.0. ISONAS has continued to expand their integrated community and will introduce additional partners at ISC West; further expanding the power of choice for customers.

As IP technologies and IoT devices proliferate the security market, the IP-bridge has been the tool to migrate old legacy systems into the IP era. Just like the video encoder transitioned the analog video surveillance market to IP, the new IP-Bridge 2.0 delivers this same simple path for the access control market. With more processing power and additional functionality local to the device, the IP-Bridge 2.0 expands on the core benefits of its predecessor allowing users to avoid a rip and replace scenario. Paired with the ISONAS R-1 Wiegand readers, the IP-Bridge 2.0 provides access to Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities giving legacy system takeovers access to mobile credentials along with a straightforward road to IP technology.

In addition, ISONAS plans to reveal two new integration partners at ISC West, expanding the functionality of its software and hardware platforms. The newest integration with Entrust Datacard’s software, TruCredential, brings a flexible badge printing solution to Pure Access and delivers an easy-to-use card design, issuance and management system. The second integration is with a leading, global access control software company that will utilize the ISONAS hardware SDK to drive the benefits of Pure IP™ hardware with their enterprise level access control software platform. This new partner will be revealed at the ISONAS media event taking place on Wednesday, April 11th at 4 p.m. “We are extremely excited to launch our new IP-Bridge 2.0 at the ISC West show this year as well as our latest integration partners,” states Rob Mossman, CEO at ISONAS. “Our business is committed to the continued growth of our integrated partners and becoming the defacto standard for IP Access Control hardware. We look forward to educating our customers on the benefits of our IP solution at our annual media event and keeping the Pure IP™ revolution moving forward.”

Customers realize dramatic results in reducing fraud as Kount adds new features to their patented use of machine learning technology

BOISE, Idaho and LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) March 20, 2018

Kount, a leading innovator of solutions for fraud and risk management, today announced the general availability of its Boost™ Safety Rating, derived from supervised machine learning focused on reducing fraud, chargebacks, and the need for manual review of transactions.

Available to Kount's customers at the end of last year in beta, the new Boost Safety Rating, a feature of Kount's BoostTM Technology, is now used by hundreds of customers and has already proven significant in customers' fight against fraud. In three short months, customers' use of the Boost Safety Rating feature has dramatically reduced false positives and customer service calls, as well as lowered manual reviews by as much as 20 percent.

Boost Technology's supervised machine learning passes data through hundreds of models to generate a single numerical rating that indicates the safety of a transaction. The Boost Safety Rating augments Kount's existing unsupervised machine learning to not only predict the risk of fraud, but also adapt to new conditions and learn from previous events, including decisions and chargebacks.

"Boost augments Kount's long history of applying advanced machine learning to the fight against fraud," said Rich Stuppy, Chief Operating Officer at Kount. "Our customers can be confident that Kount's balanced approach to fraud prevention provides unique clarity in an industry that is continually changing. Kount's Boost Technology is a dynamic solution that assimilates data into a numeric value that is easy to read and understand."

Boost complements Kount's patented Persona™ technology to optimize fraud detection and mitigation for merchants with both supervised and unsupervised machine learning. The combination of machine learning analysis simultaneously processes millions of data points with each transaction to deliver enhanced confidence in the value of a digital transaction to individual merchants. Specifically, Kount's Boost technology:· Assigns a single numeric value to predict fraud in real time.
· Weighs the risk of fraud against the value of each unique customer to identify legitimate transactions from fraudulent ones.
· Aggregates millions of transactions and their outcomes, including approvals, chargebacks, refunds, and reviews.
· Calculates in real time, maintaining Kount's current response time of roughly 250 milliseconds.
· Harnesses data insight from billions of transactions that are part of Kount's global network of merchants in nearly every vertical market.
· Helps merchants protect good customers by measuring safety instead of risk alone.

Boost comes as fraud rates for online merchants continue to soar. According to First Data, global card fraud losses are expected to exceed $35 billion by 2020. Kount's supervised and unsupervised machine learning allows online merchants to stay ahead of sophisticated fraud techniques, such as account takeover and transaction fraud, while maintaining the customer experience that customers expect.

Stuppy added, "Kount's machine learning instantaneously provides historical insight, as well as the relative risk and safety of each transaction, which allows organizations to make smarter decisions. During beta testing, a client with global transactions reported that using Boost technology improved their monthly performance by allowing them to automatically approve an additional 3,000 transactions, reduce manual review by around 200 hours, and approve an additional $1.2 million."

Kount's Boost Safety Rating will be unveiled at this year's MRC Vegas 2018. For more information visit Kount's MRC Booth (#706) or the Kount website at http://www.kount.com. Additionally, existing customers can contact their Client Success Manager to learn more.
