“The current way which organisations approach security can be recognised as an underlying market failure which consists of fire fighting security problems, silo'd implementation of technologies, uncontrolled application development practices and a failure to address systemic problems. Organisations tend to deal with one problem at a time that results in the deployment of point solutions to treat singular problems. This failure is typical of an uncontrolled marketplace evolving with little or no co-ordination.”Read more...

“The more complex the threats become, the more you have to do the basics and groundwork really well. Staying aware and on top of new vulnerabilities and ensuring that patches and software updates are rapidly implemented is crucial.”

“New concepts for quantum computer implementations, algorithms, and advances in the theoretical understanding of the physics requirements for quantum computers appear almost weekly in the scientific literature.”

It is unrealistic to expect that all existing communications devices that have been deployed and are currently active in the field can be retroactively upgraded to employ information assurance operations. A vast number of these devices have no security operations. Those that do currently offer security operations use cryptographic operations that are at risk of catastrophic failure. It is not economically viable to upgrade or replace all of these devices before their natural life-cycle is over. An alternative solution must be found that secures the past and that can also secure the future in a coherent integrated fashion. Over the last 10 years Synaptic has been working on a new secure "universal network carrier" (UNC) with Network of the Future (NoF) capabilities called Janelda. A UNC is a new type of network envisioned by Synaptic Laboratories Limited where the communications protocol is explicitly designed from the onset to act as a secure host and performance enhancer for isochronous, cell and packet based network communications. This enables the UNC to natively host all communications protocols such as TCP/IP, ISDN, ATM, Ethernet, and so on with high quality service level agreements. This also enables a deployed UNC to host entirely new protocols that have not yet been designed, protocols that may have additional smarts or specific binary format requirements. Janelda is designed to support the European NoF, the European secure ambient intelligence (AmI) and the American secure Internet of Things visions. All of Synaptic technologies fall under a grand unifying vision of a new secure communications ecosystem. Access to additional information in this category may be restricted from you.
