Press: InfoTrust Expands its Offerings with Okta’s IAM Solution

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.

InfoTrust is thrilled to announce our Consulting Services Manager, Emad Shahidi, has been certified by the Australian Signals Directorate’s (ASD) Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP). This endorsement signifies Emad’s ability to deliver security maturity assessments to the highest standard set by the ASD.

An IRAP assessor provides security maturity assessments and advice to Australian Government agencies and their third parties. There are a small number of IRAP within Australia and we’re delighted that Emad has joined the ranks of these consummate professionals.

IRAP services include security assessment against the Australian Information Security Manual (ISM) for the following areas: 

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”. 

As cloud adoption increases, data breaches escalate and customers raise the alarm, partners are fighting security battles on multiple fronts. Coupled with a vanishing perimeter, an exposed Office 365 and a raft of new regulatory requirements, a perfect security storm is brewing in the channel. In addition, a mobilised workforce, accessing data from multiple devices, and partners are navigating a market of minefields to secure traffic and battle against rising malware attacks. Much like customers, the channel is at a crossroads, juggling change within an end-user base lacking in direction, strategy and resources. This exclusive ARN Roundtable, in association with Symantec and Arrow ECS ANZ, outlined how partners can assume trusted advisor status in a cloud-centric market.
