Keynectis-OpenTrust Security Solutions Launches in North America

Posted in Commentary with tags on April 2, 2013 by itnerd

I’m a security freak so any company that does security gets my attention. Case in point: Keynectis-OpenTrust Security Solutions. Their products secure information across multiple layers throughout the entire organization. They also provide a solid foundation for shared computing models, including cloud computing. The solutions can easily be integrated into existing IT infrastructures and many other industry-leading solutions.

They have two lines of business:

  • Trusted Identities, with products and services designed to manage the lifecycles of digital identities and the associated objects, such as professional licenses, company badges, e-passports, ID cards and all types of mobile devices, including PCs, smartphones and tablets.
  • Trusted Documents & Digital Transactions, including electronic signatures, secure file exchange, electronic vaults and electronic certified mail.

Here’s the value proposition from a press release [Warning: PDF] I was sent:

“Keynectis-OpenTrust solutions already comply with European standards. Our electronic signature services are therefore ready to meet the requirements of this future market in order to guarantee certified services that will make cross-border exchanges in Europe legally binding,” said Pascal Colin, CEO of Keynectis-OpenTrust.

“In 2013, we are offering a new software suite called Protect & Sign, which can be used to implement electronic signatures, timestamping, proof management, data encryption and archiving for a wide range of uses. The “Sign Anything Anywhere” concept will take on a whole new meaning, especially in the banking sector, where the use of electronic signatures by branches will eliminate the need to manage hard copies of contracts and daily cash flow reports,” 

Nice. Having been in France, Keynectis-OpenTrust is focusing on expanding into other markets:

“After opening an office in Dubai to ensure proximity to the needs of the Middle Eastern market, we plan to set up an office in the United States in 2013. Russia and Eastern Europe are also up and coming markets for digital ID protection. Keynectis-OpenTrust is forging ties with these regions through local technology partnerships”, explained Pascal Colin. 

This is a company that’s worth keeping an eye on as I suspect you’re going to start to see their solutions pop up everywhere.
