Press: ARN Connect – InfoTrust’s RJ Price Talking MSP Mastery

CSO Magazine reports that new US autonomous vehicle guidelines position cybersecurity as a critical part of car safety. InfoTrust CEO, Dane Meah, provides commentary with regards to the Cyber Security concerns that should be considered:

Car manufacturers will be expected to present detailed plans for avoiding hacking of their self-driving cars under new US Department of Transportation guidelines designed to preserve safety in a sector whose massive momentum is already making it a target for hackers both curious and malicious.

As InfoTrust approaches its 7th anniversary, we are excited to announce significant changes as we grow our foothold in the cybersecurity market and look ahead to future expansion. Co-founders Dane Meah and Simon McKay will be stepping into Board positions while welcoming a new CEO, Keith Buckley to run the day-to-day operations and fuel the next stage of growth.

Buckley brings with him several decades of experience in the technology sector for companies including Dell, Symantec, McAfee, Riverbed and most recently Citrix, with a strong track record of taking established businesses to the next level.

On Thursday 4th April InfoTrust celebrated its 5th birthday, bringing together the InfoTrust team, partners and customers. It was a great event looking at what InfoTrust had achieved over the last 5 years and the future of the organisation.

Following on from Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison’s announcement the morning of Friday 19th June. InfoTrust has provided advice to media outlets and the general public on what they, and Australian businesses, can be doing to protect themselves against cyber attacks. Although this is not new information to many organisations, who generally have a good understanding of the cyber threats they face. The key message from the announcement was that the increased frequency, and sophistication of these attacks from a state-sponsored actor against the Australian government and businesses is of concern. The advice from the Government is to ensure you remain vigilant and cautious of any digital communication and interaction online.

I’m excited to be attending tonights awards ceremony where InfoTrust have been nominated as a finalist (in the Customer Value category) at the 2019 ARN Innovation Awards.

This recognition is particularly sweet for the InfoTrust team; a validation of the relentless focus we have towards Customer Value, or as we prefer to call it, “Customer Love”. From our inception, the focus has always been on driving customer value through an engagement model we refer to as “The InfoTrust Way”. 

Cybersecurity practice InfoTrust, has enhanced its industry leading Cloud Security portfolio by partnering with Identity and Access Management (IAM) market leader Okta to offer their multi-factor authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions.

This offering meets a real need for Australian organisations. Although IAM technologies are not new, data from Using IAM in the Age of Megabreaches report from Okta shows that 43% of security professionals worry that inconvenient authentication controls are being ignored/subverted and 33% believe there is a lack of IAM policies within their organisation.
