“I always considered Trulioo to be the most innovative player in the digital identity space and way ahead of the competition,” said Lisa Stanton, Trulioo’s newest board member.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (PRWEB)
February 03, 2020

Trulioo, the leading global identity verification provider, today announced the appointment of Lisa Stanton to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Stanton is currently an executive at American Express and will help guide Trulioo along its mission to verify the globe.

With over two decades of payments and digital security experience, Stanton brings a proven track record of driving forward innovation and business growth in fast-paced and emerging industries to the Trulioo Board of Directors.

Previously, Stanton was CEO at InAuth, a leading digital intelligence company that provides digital security to the leading financial institutions around the world. InAuth analyzes device and associated identities to ensure trust across digital channels. As CEO, she helped secure the company’s Series A funding round and built a world-class team and client roster, which led to American Express to become a customer, an investor, and ultimately the acquirer.

“I’ve known Trulioo for years and really admire what the team has built. I always considered Trulioo to be the most innovative player in the digital identity space and way ahead of the competition,” said Stanton. “As digital fraud and ID theft continue to rise and as two billion people still lack access to traditional banking, now is a critical time to leverage the power of digital ID and risk mitigation solutions to solve these complex challenges. Existing Trulioo customers understand that digital identification is opening the door to expanded, more personal and secure relationships with users, and I’m eager to be a part of its mission to verify the globe.”

“Lisa brings serious credentials to our Board of Directors and she is an ideal addition to our already impressive board,” said Stephen Ufford, CEO of Trulioo. “Her deep, extensive work across a wide range of traditional finance, security and fintech companies will be a massive asset to Trulioo as we continue our strong momentum from 2019 and enter a period of significant growth.”

Prior to joining InAuth, Stanton was the founder of the U.S. division of Monitise, hosting a mobile banking and payments platform for hundreds of banks and credit unions. Stanton also spent 17 years at Citizens Financial Group in a variety of leadership roles and was the SVP of Payments and Distribution prior to leaving in 2007.

Stanton is currently a Board Advisor to Nationwide Building Society in London and is advising a number of other fintech startups.

The cybersecurity industry faces constant changes and challenges, and we need bold thinkers like Vulcan Cyber and the other companies represented at RSAC Innovation Sandbox to drive the industry forward and protect the world against new threats

TEL AVIV (PRWEB)
January 30, 2020

Vulcan Cyber, the industry’s first Automated Vulnerability Remediation (AVR) company, has been named one of 10 finalists for the RSA Conference 2020 Innovation Sandbox Contest for its work enabling companies to automate the remediation process of business critical vulnerabilities. On Monday, February 24, Vulcan Cyber will present its cybersecurity technology to a panel of renowned industry judges and a live audience at RSA Conference 2020 in San Francisco. Vulcan Cyber invites attendees to stop by visit its booth, ESE-32, located at Moscone Center South or to set up an appointment to speak with one of its experts.

“The cybersecurity industry faces constant changes and challenges, and we need bold thinkers like Vulcan Cyber and the other companies represented at RSAC Innovation Sandbox to drive the industry forward and protect the world against new threats,” said Linda Martin Gray, Senior Director and General Manager, RSA Conference. “We are always blown away by the caliber of ideas presented on stage, and perhaps even more exciting, the impact the companies and the bright minds behind them ultimately make on the world after the Conference concludes.”

Vulcan Cyber is a vulnerability remediation and orchestration platform that’s modernizing the way enterprises reduce cyber risk. With its remediation-driven approach, Vulcan automates and orchestrates the vulnerability remediation lifecycle, enabling security, operational and business teams to effectively remediate cyber risks at scale. Through its proprietary AI-driven Remediation Intelligence, the world’s largest database of solutions for vulnerabilities containing millions of remediation actions be they patches, configuration changes, workarounds or compensating controls, Vulcan identifies the most efficient solution for every vulnerability, a solution that can be deployed automatically. The platform enables effective, scaled remediation, leveraging existing tools and processes in place today to drive results and reduce cyber-risk.

Since Vulcan Cyber has launched, it has started to rack up accolades for its innovative approach to managing cyber risk. In addition to being selected as an Innovation Sandbox finalist, Gartner, Inc. named it as one if it’s Cool Vendors in Security and Risk Management, 2H19* report in October 2019 (Gartner subscription required).

“If you look at it from a security standpoint, we seem to be living in a world of problems, rather than solutions. The reality is, security and IT Operations teams don’t know how to remediate vulnerabilities and security gaps effectively, or predict unwanted side-effects caused by these remediation actions,” said Yaniv Bar-Dayan, co-founder and CEO of Vulcan Cyber. “Our goal at Vulcan is to help enterprises remediate these gaps. We aspire to eliminate these challenges and enable teams to effectively reduce cyber-risk. We are humbled and excited that our value proposition is resonating so strongly, and what better way to start off the year than to be named one of the 10 most innovative companies at RSA 2020.”

Since 2005, the RSAC Innovation Sandbox has served as a platform for the most promising young cybersecurity companies to showcase their groundbreaking technologies and compete for the title of “Most Innovative Startup.” The competition is widely recognized as a catapult for success, as the top 10 finalists have collectively seen 48 acquisitions and $5.2 billion in funding over the last 15 years. Vulcan Cyber will have three minutes to pitch the panel of judges before a question-and-answer round.

The RSAC Innovation Sandbox Contest kicks off at 1:30 p.m. PT on February 24 and winners will be announced at 4:30 p.m. that same day. Dr. Herbert (Hugh) Thompson, Program Committee Chair of RSA Conference, will return to host the contest.

We believe this new API will facilitate the development of a new array of DDS applications that are compatible with the .NET ecosystem, expanding the use of DDS to new domains within and beyond the Industrial IoT.

NEEDHAM, Mass. (PRWEB)
January 29, 2020

Today, international technology standards organization Object Management Group® (OMG®) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for a new C# API for the Data Distribution Standard (DDS). OMG issued the DDS C# API RFP because DDS users and vendors alike need an interoperable API for the C# programming language. The new API will enable the deployment of new, vendor-neutral applications in a variety of industries.

Data Distribution Service (DDS™) is an OMG middleware protocol and API standard for data-centric connectivity that is widely used in business and mission-critical Internet of Things (IoT) applications because of its low latency, high reliability and scalability. The DDS specification uses a model-driven approach and relies upon APIs to map applications to specific programming languages, such as Java and C++.

“The use of standard frameworks and ecosystems is crucial in the development of next-generation industrial IoT systems. DDS provides a set of standard APIs that enable users to develop portable vendor-independent applications using their programming language of choice,” said RFP author Fernando Garcia Aranda, Principal Software Engineer at Real-Time Innovations (RTI). “In this RFP, we aim to define a standard C# API for DDS. We believe this new API will facilitate the development of a new array of DDS applications that are compatible with the .NET ecosystem, expanding the use of DDS to new domains within and beyond the Industrial IoT.”

The DDS C# API Request for Proposal is open to the public. The deadline to respond with a letter of intent, that a company is interested in responding, is March 19, 2020. Responses are due by May 18, 2020. The full request and details on how to respond can be found in the RFP.
