Blue Sky Potential -- Saturday 19 September 2015

Tern invests in established, private software companies and its significant investment is Cryptosoft, the only supplier with a market-proven software security product, for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications.

According to Beecham Research, security is now the leading concern for users of M2M devices and the size of the market for security products is exploding. Based on the current rate of growth, the M2M security market will be worth $700m by 2018. Tern’s market cap is only £11m at time of writing, so even if Cryptosoft can grab only a tiny share of the M2M market, Tern could be set for the big time.

"Existing security solutions were not designed to accommodate the massive scale of the Internet of Things," ZitoVault CEO Tim McElwee told the E-Commerce Times. "Moving forward, it becomes very important to create secure connections on the fly between IoT devices and cloud-based applications."

But Al Sisto will have been telling his audience that the Cryptosoft product is fully scalable.

RNS out.

An article this morning about Intel directing its cash towards protecting the IOT. And here is Cisco doing the same. And of course IBM, GE, Microsoft, Google, Amazon etc.

If Cryptosoft have what we think they have then I can't see them last to year end. The big guys are splashing cash around trying to grab their slice of a very large cake.

Tern updates on settlement of legal action

Tern Plc has succeeded in a claim that was outstanding prior to its reorganisation in August 2013. Tern has received payment of its claim in full of £37,500 and awaits finalisation and payment of the legal costs and expenses it incurred in prosecuting this recovery.

The settlement will be accounted for as an extraordinary credit in the accounts of Tern.

if £37.5k was indeed the full extent of the claim, what on earth was either side doing to allow it to get to court?
they must be absolutely bonkers!

United Nations Partners with Tech Firms for Increased Internet Security in Developing Countries

Cryptosoft, a UK-based information security company, has announced a partnership with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a United Nations agency to establish increased global Internet security standards focused on the Internet of Things (IoT). The alliance with the ITU, will focus on education and training in countries with less resources.

Santiago, Chile, October 13, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Cryptosoft, a UK-based information security company, has announced a partnership with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a United Nations agency to establish increased global Internet security standards focused on the Internet of Things (IoT). The alliance with the ITU, will focus on education and training in countries with less resources.

“Developing countries are adopting IoT technologies at a very fast pace; securing these connections will help ensure improved global cyber security,” says Ryan Johnson, founder of Neo Globe Consulting, the technology consulting group facilitating the partnership.

Neo Globe will help jumpstart joint projects to equip global governments and telecom companies utilizing Cryptosoft’s security expertise. One possible project is the world’s most in-depth Internet of Things (IoT) cyber security profile and readiness survey. Another includes preparing cryptography-focused training labs for national cyber defense teams in developing countries.

“With the influx of Internet-connected devices impacting our daily lives, it’s crucial that security standards are put into practice,” says Al Sisto, the Chairman at Cryptosoft. “Users should feel at ease that their personal data is safe, no matter where in the world they live.”

Cryptosoft has joined the ITU as Associates, particularly to work with ITU-S, the organization that sets telecom standards, and ITU-D, to help find ways to use information and communications technologies (ICT) for social, economic and human development. Cryptosoft CTO, Jon Penney, will be representing the company at the ITU Internet of Things Forum on 19th October.

Cryptosoft focuses on creating trust in IoT transactions through safe connections between machines. This is called machine-to-machine, or M2M communication, and is the basis of how Internet-connected devices share information. Some examples of M2M might include a smart watch communicating health data to an insurance provider. Or a connected refrigerator might automatically order food through an online grocery store.

“All industries—from energy to banking to retail—are being impacted by the Internet of Things” says Johnson. “Privacy and security are major concerns, which is why partnerships like ITU and Cryptosoft are so critical.”

The ITU is a 150-year-old organization that helps set standards for telecommunications technologies and supports development of telecoms in underdeveloped countries. ITU, based in Geneva, Switzerland, is a member of the United Nations Development Group. ITU’s membership includes 193 Member States and around 700 public and private sector companies as well as international and regional telecommunication groups.
