WISeKey and Boole Server Announce a Partnership to Secure Mobile Communications and Transactions
WISeKey International Holding Ltd (WIHN.SW) ("WISeKey"), a Swiss
cybersecurity company and Boole Server, an Italian vendor of
data-centric protection company, today announced their partnership to
secure mobile communications and transactions through the new WISeID
BooleBox app.
The WISEID
suite of apps is already distributed successfully by WISeKey, allowing
users to lock personal data, including account usernames and passwords,
credit card numbers and access PINs, into a secure personal data
organizer vault. The vault can only be unlocked with the user's Master
Password and/or defined pattern and facial recognition authentication.
The experience and knowledge of WiseKey met the BooleBox technology, the
secure sharing solution that protects company data from external attacks
and insider theft, by means of guaranteed military grade encryption.
Available with In-Cloud, On-Premises or Hybrid versions, BooleBox allows
users to share and sync files and folders and collaborate with multiple
people inside of a workgroup. The BooleBox approach focuses on security
- data is encrypted both in transit and at rest with 256-bit AES
encryption, and the encryption persists also on files while editing. A
particular focus of this approach is that the BooleBox platform
eliminates the possibility of having hackers or IT employees with access
to everything, potentially releasing the information to the internet at
large, or selling it off in an act of corporate espionage. The
importance of this is paramount in light of recent cases, such as a
former Ford (News - Alert) employee stealing trade secrets (http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/11/18/michigan.ford.trade.secrets/),
or a disgruntled ex-employee remotely disabling the cars of people with
auto loans (http://www.wired.com/2010/03/hacker-bricks-cars/).
Permission settings can be set with a high level of granularity, and are
managed by the creator of the data, not the IT systems administrator.
The system also restricts copy and paste, and screen printing/video
streaming of protected documents.
Boole Server and WISeKey agree that there are mutually beneficial
synergies that would result from their collaboration and therefore
evisage integrating WISeKey's Global Root and Public Key
Infrastructures into BooleBox´s, to prevent leakage of personal
information by means of peer authentication and trusted and secure
email, secure data transmission directly to encrypted clouds. Both
parties are taking advantage of the opportunities and advantages of
being among the first movers in this field and therefore are focusing
their efforts on developing this collaboration as quickly and
effectively as possible with a view to deploy a brand new application
based on WISeKey and BooleBox technologies. The new WISeID BooleBox app
will provide the BooleBox capabilities to WISeID users, enhancing the
security more even by providing more control on the file encryption and
secure file sharing.
The two companies will collaborate to create the app in response to the
growing number of mobile security threats as hackers continue to exploit
Android (News - Alert) and iOS devices with malware.
