数字安全

Security can become a business differentiator by using the latest technology to engender customer trust and loyalty in your product and connected services. We enable innovative business models by providing data processing solutions that use novel techniques to maintain confidentiality. And we use explainable security concepts so that your customers can understand and appreciate the benefits.

Our expertise has been applied widely: to create wearables enabling new customer experiences; to empower new vehicle fleet management business models; and to allow pharmaceutical products to be authenticated in front of the consumer, so gaining their trust. Untold possibilities remain.

We deliver novel security solutions to meet evolving needs and emerging threats. That means applying the latest thinking from academia and other technology leaders. To stay ahead of game, we invest to build our understanding and to develop new initiatives. Recent examples include:

• Testing continuous variable quantum key distribution (QKD)
•  Applying AI to computer log and other analysis
•  Exploring homomorphic encryption
•  Developing solutions to meet the quantum compute challenge

Our role is to solve the security challenges that are critical to ensure the continual and safe operation of your businesses. The advice we give is based upon a 20-year heritage of understanding precisely what security technology can achieve. This ensures that the right investment decisions are made to reduce security risk.

What industries do we support? We work across a wide range of operational systems to ensure the security of smart Infrastructure, automotive, defence, industrial automation and wider IoT enabled businesses. 

Our expertise enables you to disrupt your market by developing the most secure device, even when the power budget is incredibly low, and the cost must be measured in cents rather than dollars.

We’ve achieved this, and more, in many applications: 

• Smart meters using secure credit card technology to keep power demands to a minimum
• Mobile medical equipment that enables wireless communication via Wi-Fi and 4G
• Vehicle telematics operating for one year on a coin cell
• The world’s lowest power contactless payment on a wearable device with a screen

Robust system design ensures digital security solutions are properly implemented. Our formal design processes ensure system security by addressing a product’s risks and vulnerabilities as designed, as implemented and as used.

This involves defining security requirements and setting the overall strategy; defining security architecture and system design; and testing to verify regulatory and legal compliance.

For medical systems, this includes the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP) standards. 

Investors recognise that the market for security solutions continues to grow in double digits each year. New ideas flood the market, but only some will stick and provide the real return on investment.

Our due diligence advice for investors is based on a deep understanding of technology and the threat landscape. We look to the future and root our market advice in society and industry trends. Because we understand how the security market will need to evolve to meet these trends, we know which investments are likely to see the best returns. 

Deployment of the latest technologies in anti-counterfeit and brand protection contributes solutions that ensure your customers can be confident that your products are your products. This robust approach is applied widely, including new ways to test authenticity at the point of sale, and even to laboratory standards.

We embed anti-counterfeit features within both consumer products and medical devices. Elsewhere, our statistical algorithm capability has developed covert watermark technology for high-value audio content and a patented anti-counterfeit digital coding scheme.
