E
arious modern disruptive technologies have changed the world for good. Nowadays, almost every aspect of our lives
Vare being controlled by various technologies. Education is not an exception of this rule. Technologies like AR and
VR are slowly becoming mainstream, and they are all set to change the face of education.
I know! I know! Most of you might think VR is all about gaming experiences and entertainment. However, VR combines
best of in person and online education that too in an immersive experience. Thanks to VR, its now very easy and cheap to
visit various unthinkable scenarios. Think of something like a mechanism of a complex machine or a lost planet. Still VR has
a very low adaptability rate, even in US, very few classrooms have VR tools. However, soon this will change as few forward
thinking institutions have already started experimenting with this piece of technology.
AR is another ground-breaking technology, which has the enormous potential to inject the much-needed value in the
educational process. The best part is, AR uses cell phones to add a layer of information to the physical reality. However, due
to various privacy issues, AR has’t witnessed the much-needed commercial success. Still, when it comes to the classroom,
AR can help students to scan an equation and ﬁnd various tutorials and solutions. Various museums and other organizations
use AR in order to enhance experience.
Another most important disruptive technology in education is various communication platforms. With the growing usage of
high speed data, video communication allows users around the world to join and participate in various educational processes.
Also, experts from various ﬁeld can join the discussion and can speak with the students directly. Slowly the advancement of
the online learning technologies are making education accessible to students around the world.
Disruptive Technologies
and Education

Ah! AI! What can I say about this technology? It is changing each and every industry in a rapid pace. When it comes to
education, Artificial Intelligence can use algorithms that helps to personalize learning experience. These AI systems are so
smart, that they can learn and analyze the needs of an individual or the whole class. Thanks to the current level of
technological development, AI systems can help in personalized tutoring.

entertainment, enterprise, energy, higher education,
technology, healthcare, hospitality, government, and more.

In an interview with Insights Success, the Founder and
CEO of Diversified, Fred D’Alessandro, shares key
insights into the organization’s journey and how its
specialized solutions and services are continually growing
to meet the dynamic needs of an evolving global market.
Below are the highlights of the interview conducted
between Fred and Insights Success:
Give a brief overview of the company, its uniqueness
and its vision.
Diversified was founded in 1993 as a start-up broadcast
integration firm based out of Kenilworth, NJ and has since
grown into a top technology solutions provider with more
than 30 locations around the world. Originally addressing
the technical needs of the broadcast, audio visual, IT and
RF market segments, our service offerings continued to
grow and evolve with the marketplace. Over the years,
Diversified’s strategic investments and acquisitions have
not only expanded our portfolio of expertise but also
extended our geographic footprint to better serve a growing
client base.
With these enhanced capabilities, Diversified has emerged
as an industry leading technology solutions provider
offering an unmatched portfolio of consolidated services,
delivering innovative digital media, collaborative,
broadcasting, electronic security, and Over-The-Top
solutions to a global clientele. This expansive expertise has
positioned us to serve as a go-to partner for all our clients’
technology needs, delivering complete technology
strategies that enhance their operations, increase
productivity, and help drive ROI.
Describe your company’s cutting-edge products/services
which address all the needs of your customers.
The rapid speed of technological evolution means that
Diversified and its clients constantly have to look three
steps ahead to maintain a competitive position in today’s
global market. As a leading global technology solutions
provider, Diversified proudly offers the most
comprehensive portfolio of technical expertise and

consolidated services in the industry.
Our clients’ previous reliance on
multiple vendor-specialized service
offerings to implement a single project
simply doesn’t cut it anymore.
We provide our clients a single trusted
technology partner to help develop and
deploy the entire scope of all their
technology strategies.
Whether it’s a digital signage network
to communicate a brand or messaging
to visitors and employees, a
collaborative conference room to
connect enterprise locations around the
world, a security operations center to
monitor facility activity, a broadcast
studio or even managed service
offerings to ensure a maximized ROI
on technology investments, Diversified
has a team of industry professionals
ready to partner with organizations and
deliver the technology needed to drive
daily operations—all while simplifying
the project cycle and increasing ROI.
With the escalating number of
technology-based solution providers,
how is Diversified driving itself to
create an impact on its customers?
Diversified’s approach to business has
always been just that—diversified. As
technology and its impacts continue to
evolve, so do our capabilities. With a
mission to connect organizations from
a broad range of markets to their
technology objectives through a
comprehensive portfolio of solutions
and services from a single trusted
technology partner, we are able to
utilize our diverse collection of
technical and strategic expertise to
consult on and deliver the entire scope
of our clients’ technology strategies.
Whether it’s audio visual, digital
signage, production and distribution,
IT, mission critical, electronic security
or even medical integration, the
Diversified team has a deep bench of
experts to meet any technology need,
no matter how precise or unique.
Connecting clients
to their digital
futures with control
centers that help
save lives,
broadcast systems
that entertain,
digital media
networks that
inform and IP-
based operating
rooms that improve
patient outcomes.

What’s more, our teams are on the
forefront of today’s technology,
helping to set standards and prepare
customers for changing digital
landscapes. Leveraging our IT and
media and entertainment expertise,
Diversified has become one of the
pioneer authorized partners of Cisco’s
IP Fabric for Media solution. The new
authorization allows us to close the
project circle, meeting all our media
and entertainment customers’ needs
from design to implementation and
service of an entire production
facility—now including all Cisco
elements to certify end to end success
as more media networks make the shift
to transporting over IP from SDI. This
marks just one of the ways that
Diversified is ahead of the curve and
continuing to serve our clients in
new ways.
Describe the experiences,
achievements or lessons learned that
have shaped the journey of the
company.
Starting out as a broadcast integration
firm, Diversified established an
impressive reputation within the media
and entertainment industry. However,
we knew that would not be enough to
sustain continued growth. Our vision
for a company positioned at the
forefront of technology, providing its
clients with the best solutions to meet
their objectives, drove us to take risks
and reinvest our earnings back into the
business to keep up with
growing demands.
Around 2000, we began to seek
opportunities in AV integration, a
market we didn’t know much about but
saw great value in for diversifying the
company. We’d found a lucrative home
in enterprise broadcast, but we knew to
be the best, we had to provide more
than just one piece of the puzzle. Since
then, while competitors have been
content with the status quo, Diversified
has continued to establish successful
footholds in other technology
specialties including digital media,
mission critical, medical integration,
and electronic security, providing
additional value to clients around the
globe.
What are the challenges faced while
providing the unique tech powered
solution and how is Diversified
serving to tackle them?
Staying current on today’s technology
without losing sight of tomorrow’s
advancements is a critical component
for any technology provider. At
Diversified, our teams are constantly
focused on learning and finding
innovative ways to incorporate new
technology that not just meets our
customers’ needs, but exceeds them,
and helps them make a real difference
in their respective industries. From
maintaining extensive training and
certifications to partnering with
manufacturers to enhance products for
actual use cases, our team is
consistently improving our offerings to
better equip our clients and help them
reach their technology goals.
What according to you could be the
potential future of the innovative
tech solution providers and how does
Diversified envision sustaining its
competency?
To remain competitive in today’s
global market, technology providers
must be agile, proactive and diverse in
their offerings. With an expansive
catalog of solutions and services,
combined with a worldwide network of
resources capable of confidently
deploying projects on a global scale,
Diversified is working with leading
organizations around the world to meet
all their technology needs efficiently
and effectively.
Additionally, we are developing and
delivering strategically engineered,
productized solutions that further
simplify technology deployments for
our clients. Whether we’re driving
operating room efficiency and
enhancing patient care with our
exclusive CORIS® product family or
increasing situational awareness to
support a faster response time with
VantagePoint, Diversified is bringing
new solutions to the market that
continue to connect clients to their
digital futures.
Where does Diversified see itself in
the long run and what are its future
goals?
Over the coming years, Diversified is
focused on continued international
expansion and transitioning from
providing mainly hardware integration
solutions to more of a software-based
or “Technology as a Service” model.
Additionally, with the industry shifting
from SDI to IP, we see great
opportunity in helping many of our
clients make the switch and implement
efficient, cloud-based systems for their
organizations. Diversified is confident
that these initiatives, coupled with the
ability of our leadership team to keep
us ahead of the competition, will allow
us to maintain our leadership position
and continue our double-digit growth.
About the Leader
Fred D’Alessandro’s dedication and
work ethic, coupled with an innate
desire to innovate and provide quality
service to others, is the driving force
behind his success and what he and his
team have built at Diversified. His
decisions are steadily centered around
being the best and providing clients
with one trusted technology partner to
meet all their technology needs.
Furthermore, he has taken a rather

creative approach to the types of
services offered, understanding that
innovation and disruption go hand in
hand, staying outside the comfort zone
and looking to provide multiple pieces
of the technology needs puzzle to
deliver an unparalleled level of
expertise and service to Diversified’s
clients. It’s been said before, “You
better disrupt yourself before someone
else does!” Unopposed to stepping
outside the box or doing the opposite
of industry expectations, Fred is
always seeking the next big thing that
will change the game.
As a result, the breadth of Diversified’s
offerings has allowed Fred to sustain
growth, even in the toughest markets.
If one industry isn’t as hot as expected,
another picks up the slack. This
advantage has also become the driving
force behind Fred’s vision for the
future—continuing to grow vertically
as well as horizontally, adding
complementary services that provide
value through unique, hybrid
technology solutions that solve
virtually any customer requirements.
Still, he believes for continued
sustainability, Diversified must operate
within the top tier of each industry,
understanding its clients and how these
solutions help them find success in
their own markets.
Through openly sharing his philosophy
of being the best and establishing a
robust customer base with repeatable
business, Fred has seen another major
differentiator emerge—Diversified’s
engineering-centric operations. True to
its tagline, Imagination Engineered,
Fred takes great pride in the execution
of Diversified’s projects and
empowering his engineering staff to be
creative and innovative in their
designs. His viewpoint is simple—new
sales will keep your door open but
strong engineering and project delivery
will bring the customer back time and
time again, allowing growth beyond
what anyone expected.
Diversified
understands
unique industry
challenges and
emerging
technology trends,
delivering
specialized
solutions that solve
our clients' biggest
problems.

Planning for a Movie has Never Been so Easy
Atom Tickets
ased in Santa Monica, California, at
Bthe heart of the Silicon Beach, an
award winning start-up Atom
Tickets was born out of a simple idea:
people would go to the movies more often if
buying movie tickets with friends and family
was made easy. With the backing of
Lionsgate, Disney, and Fidelity Management
& Research Company, Atom Tickets is
enabled on nearly 22,000 screens across the
U.S. including AMC Theatres, Regal
Cinemas, and Showcase Cinemas.
The organization’s mission is to transform
the moviegoing experience to make it easier
for people to go to the movies, more often.
Also, Atom Tickets is proud of the fact that it
has grown to attract nearly 6 million monthly
visitors. Atom’s user-friendly and socially
driven interface allows movie lovers to
search for ﬁlms instantly, invite friends, buy
tickets, pre-order concessions and enjoy a
VIP experience at the theater. Due to the
platform’s innovative marketing solutions
and young yet diverse user-base help, studios
exhibitors and brands reach their target
audience and maximize revenue
opportunities.
The organization looked to bring the ease of

“
a socially-driven moviegoing
experience with convenience at heart.
Inviting Friends for a Movie has
Never been this Easy
With Atom Tickets, it’s easier than ever
before to invite friends for a movie.
The organization has created a simple
way to pay for a group or pay
separately. It has also created a digital
ticket using a QR code which can be
scanned at the theater and to pre-order
concessions at participating theaters.
These features weren’t available
through other movie ticketing sites or
apps when the cofounders were
envisioning a new movie ticketing
experience back in 2014. It took a
couple of years to build the app but the
company launched Atom Tickets
nationally in September 2016 as the
first to offer these features.
The free app and the website provide
relevant reviews, trailers and synopses
in order to help movie buffs make the
best decision on what to see. App users
may then invite friends (via their
contact lists) to purchase their own
tickets and join them with a few easy
taps—eliminating IOUs and lengthy
text conversations. Atom streamlines
the process of purchasing tickets and
concessions from any iOS or Android
phone. At the theater, users can skip
the box office lines and go directly to
the ticket attendants and Atom-
exclusive express concession lanes
where they simply scan a QR code on
Atom-branded tablets to redeem their
order. Paper tickets and IOUs have
been replaced by Atom’s innovative
platform that keeps all plans,
messages, payment and tickets in one
convenient place.
The Hawk Eyed Leader
As the Co-founder and Chairman of
Atom Tickets, the social movie
ticketing app, Matthew Bakal focuses
on growth strategy and corporate
development for the Santa Monica
based startup that has raised over $125
million in funding. Matthew has a
unique background that includes
extensive experience on both the
creative and financial sides of the
entertainment business. He has worked
for Warner Bros., Mandate Pictures,
Good Universe, and IBM
entertainment consulting. He has
structured financial deals that balance
creative ambitions with bottom line
prudence. Previously at Lionsgate
Entertainment, he oversaw day-to-day
business development opportunities
and strategic initiatives. Matthew
wants people to watch more movies
and he thinks there should be an easier
way for the industry to match movie
supply with consumer demand. All this
experience contributed to the spark that
has become Atom and its successful
capital raise. Matthew holds an AB in
English and American Literature from
Harvard College and an MBA from
Harvard Business School.
Standing out Amongst the Crowd
As a startup, Atom Tickets feels that
it’s the company’s responsibility to
stand out and give users a compelling
reason to try it opposed to any other
known brand. The organization was
born out of the idea that digital movie
ticketing was in need of powerful new
experience. Now Atom Tickets is in the
market for more than two years and it
is always trying to create innovative
new experiences. This is what led the
company to partner with Amazon on
advance screenings for Amazon Prime
Members, power movie ticketing on
IMDb and Amazon Echo, and integrate
Atom movie ticketing in Google search
and Facebook. Atom Tickets also
announced a partnership with the
Honda Innovation team to develop
movie ticketing for their Dream Drive
Project.

The growth of China and Japan as leading markets
for the Pharma and Biotech industry has made
language an important factor for companies looking
to be successful in global markets. Moreover, emerging
markets in non-English speaking countries such as Brazil,
Russia and Turkey has only increased the need for
“Strategic Language Partnerships”. Navigating through
regulatory requirements and Clinical Trial documentation in
foreign languages seem like a daunting task just from the
sound of it. An increasing number of companies prefer to
outsource the language requirements in order to speed up
approvals and decrease rejections.
With the current trends in the Pharma and Biotech Markets,
we suspect the need to only increase. There are four definite
areas that point towards the prominent role of language in
the coming years.
Emerging Markets have More Promise
Since established markets in US and Europe have very little
room for smaller players, SMEs are growing more
confident that growing markets are a better investment.
Pricing pressures and slower growth means that Big Pharma
companies are also evaluating untapped markets. Among
the top emerging markets, BRIC economies stand out the
most with the probable addition of Mexico and Turkey.
While China is already competitive, the others in the list are
viewed as geographies with tremendous opportunity.
However, growing economies have their own challenges.
Underdeveloped infrastructure and unique regulations mean
that entry and success in these markets are more complex
than they may seem. Seeking drug approvals in different
geographies also means that Pharma companies will have to
process multiple sets of clinical trials in each country. With
the probable exception of India, other regions won’t have
English as their language of choice which makes language
intervention an absolute necessity.
The Increasing Involvement of China
The recent regulatory change in China has paved the way
for more globally accepted drugs to be launched in China.
However, they will still need to undergo the regulatory
process as usual. We expect an increased effort from
Pharma companies to launch more drugs in China which is
the second largest Pharmaceutical market in the world.
Biotech is also booming in China with the help of conscious
Government support. There seems to be no shortage of
investment either in this regard. Hence, you can expect
BioTech companies to have a keen interest in expanding
their focus to China in the coming years. Based on this, we
foresee the demand for translation between English and
Simplified Chinese to rise in the near future. Also, it will be
wiser for companies to outsource their documentation
requirements since adhering to the stringent protocols in
Chinese will not be easy.
The Rising Influence of the Patients
As patients become more aware and educated about the
drugs they take, Pharma companies are forced to consider a
patient-first business model to cope with their dynamic
expectations and demands. Companies are considering
smartphone apps and online portals to stay connected with
patients. With more sophisticated technological options
being made available with every passing day, a range of
health services can be offered to patients at their
convenience. These tools also serve as a great way to
acquire patient data, maintain them and gain useful insight.
4 Trends that will make
Language Solutions a big part of
Biotech and Globalization

However, replicating this approach in other geographies
will need language support. App and Software localization
requires deep understanding of cultural nuances in order to
be executed successfully. Apart from this, promotional and
informational collateral also need to be tailored and edited
in order to appeal to consumers in various geographies.
This not only includes physical collateral but also digital
materials. Hence, as the focus shifts to the patient, there is
certainly a rise in demand for language solutions expected
from Pharma and Biotech companies.
Managing the Digital Baggage
While e-pharmacies are still in their infancy, there is
enough reason to believe in their success in the near future.
Globalization plans for e-pharmacies, is a long way away
from being a topic of discussion. In the meanwhile, Pharma
and Biotech companies still need to maintain their digital
presence whose importance continues to grow in the grand
scheme of things. This includes websites, social media
positioning and online reputation management (ORM)
among others. In recent times, we’ve received an increased
demand for translation of marketing materials from
companies like Abbott Healthcare and other Fortune 500
companies.
As pharma and biotech companies look to build their
presence across diﬀerent geographies, they will need to
think about how they can take their digital assets along.
Maintaining brand positioning and brand image across
multiple regions is always going to be a challenge.
Moreover, failure to understand cultural nuances and
demand can be a cause for stunted growth. Companies that
have the foresight to see the importance of a language
solutions partner at this stage will have greater chances to
succeed in new geographies.

Industry Glimpse

hat do we call an area that is not limited to a
Wsingle planet and has no physical boundaries?
We call it the era of the emerging space resource
industry. As humans, we became a spacefaring species 60
years ago when Russia launched Sputnik, the world’s first
artificial satellite. We are the only species to achieve this
milestone in the 4.5 billion year history of the earth. Later,
the space industry began to develop after World War II, as
rockets and satellites later found civilian purpose.
Today, companies around the world are in transportation,
energy sector, construction, hospitality, real estate, etc. and
they are looking for their next growth opportunity. Space is
quickly becoming a place where the industries that power
our global economy have started conducting business.
Future developments in the space industries include space
tourism, satellite manufacturing, and the launch industry. In
recent years, however, private spaceflight is becoming
reality in the space industry.
Of course, these private companies also compete against
each other and it could be argued that a new space race has
begun. But while with an element of competition, the
success of the past decades shows that is possible to
collaborate in space. For example, NASA a major
government agency has relied on privately operated launch
services like SpaxeX for its satellite launches. The original
space race began from the ideas and skills of visionary
theoretical engineers like Robert. H. Goddard, Wernher von
Braun, and Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky, etc. Today, space
endeavors are propelled by a new generation of
entrepreneurs including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Robert
Branson. There are some more major players and
innovative companies with the vision of space exploration
and are as follows:
SpaceX- SpaceX was founded in 2002 and has reached
worldwide popularity with their historic milestones in space
exploration. It is already the world’s most high-profile
commercial spacecraft company. The aim of SpaceX is to
revolutionize the space technology, with the goal of
enabling people to live on other planets. Its success has
been worth appreciating. Falcon 9 launch vehicle and
Dragon Spacecraft are some of its milestones. Dragon
Spacecraft has helped with regular resupply missions for
NASA space stations.
Blue Origin- It was founded in 2000 by Jeff Bezos, the
technological retail entrepreneur and CEO of Amazon, aims
to launch people in space. It is fully reusable, vertical
takeoff vertical landing (VVTL) space vehicle. Though its
goal is different from that of SpaceX, it targets the Space
tourism industry. It is focusing on commercially available,
suborbital human spaceflight and has developed a vertical
launch vehicle (new shepherd) for it. New shepherd is
named after the Mercury astronaut Alan Shepherd, the first
Innovative
Companies

American Astronaut to go in Space. It is designed to take
astronauts and research payloads past the Karman line, the
internationally recognized boundary of space.
Boeing- Boeing is the world’s largest aerospace company
and leading manufacturer in space and security systems.
Throughout the last 50 years, Boeing has been integral in
every major endeavor to escape earth’s gravity. The satellite
industry has made the headlines since the launch of its first
Mercury capsule to the current ISS (International Space
Station).
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) is the most powerful
rocket ever built. Boeing is the prime contractor for the SLS
design development, test, and production of the launch
vehicle. SLS is the world’s only super heavy rocket capable
of transporting astronauts to deep space. NASA is setting its
eyes on the exploration of Mars with the help of Boeing
technology. Boeing has successfully launched all of
NASA’s Mars probes and rovers aboard Delta 11 launch
vehicles. Recently Boeing engineer designed a spacesuit to
protect astronauts from dust, radiation and other hazards
when exploring the surface of moon and mars.
Sierra Nevada Corporation- Selected by NASA, SNC’s
Dream Chaser spacecraft is a multi-mission space utility
vehicle. It used for transporting crew and cargo to LEO
(Low Earth Orbit) destinations such as ISS (International
Space Station). The system is designed to deliver up to
5,500 kg of pressurized and unpressurized cargo to the
space station under the CRS (Commercial Resupply
Service)-2 contract. It will carry supplies like food, water,
& science experiments and returns to earth with a gentle
runway landing. The spacecraft is selected by NASA to
provide a minimum of 6 cargo missions to and from the
space station by 2021. Sierra Nevada Corporation is making
solid progress and likely to stay a key player in the private
space company.
Northrop Grumman Corporation- NGC is a leader in
science and exploration in space for more than 60 years.
Thiokol Chemical Company, now part of NGC developed
the world’s first reusable space shuttle program in the late
1970s.
Contribution to NASA: July 20, 1969, was a historic day
when the world watched, astronaut Neil Armstrong took
mankind’s first steps on the moon. The success of NASA’s
Apollo 11 mission is still remembered and celebrated.
Several heritage companies of NGC are recognized for the
vital role they played in the achievement of the Apollo 11
mission. NGC designed, assembled, integrated and tested
the Lunar Module (LM) of the Apollo program.
NASA’s Northrop Grumman built Chandra X-ray
Observatory and it continues to produce data that enables
astronomers to make extraordinary discoveries. Launched
in 1999, Chandra has found evidence for a significant new
class of supernova. It has also uncovered evidence of a
powerful outburst from the giant black hole at the Milky
Way’s center.
NASA has a long tradition of utilizing Northrop
Grumman’s spacecraft, including the Spirit and Opportunity
rovers that landed on Mars in 2004. The rovers will help
guide the Mars as it investigates the viability of microbial
life on the planet now or in the past.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will play an
important role in studying planetary systems. NGC is the
prime contractor for building the dreams of Webb
technology. The telescope will be sensitive to infrared light
which will enable it to understand an era of the universe
just a few million years after the Big Bang.
Made in Space- MIS is the space-based manufacturing
company, dedicated to making of reliable Additive
manufacturing equipment and fiber optics (MIS Fiber) for
Space. Additive manufacturing is also known as 3D
Printing and is transforming the industry. It can
manufacture larger and more complex objects faster, with
finer precision and with multiple aerospace grade materials.
MIS Fiber Optics, on the other hand, is produced without
crystals that affect signal loss. Later, these crystals provide
superior data transmission capabilities, high-speed internet
as well as enhancing technologies in space.
Virgin Galactic- Virgin Galactic is a spaceflight company
founded in 2004 by British entrepreneur Sir Richard
Branson. It is developing commercial space crafts and aims
to provide suborbital spaceflights to space tourists. VG uses
a larger, four-engine jet plane that carries passengers into
space. It is similar in design to a private plane. These
private space firms seem to have different interests in the
space race, but actually, these companies share the same
goals.
Looking at the future, there will be a need for laws,
regulation, and controlling authority to govern space
exploration. It will be necessary to have firm and well-
understood protocols in the event space crashing, while
there are serious issues around the safety of astronauts as
well. At the moment, the UN’s Outer Space Affairs is
responsible for promoting international cooperation in the
peaceful uses of outer space. Perhaps, the entry of the
private sector into space exploration will contribute to the
growth of the economy as valuable targets for investment.
However, it will be interesting to see how healthy
competition opens up in the development of the Space Era
for Citizens.

Technology?
technology and supporting the initiative. The intention is to
provide decentralized solution and distributed ledger
technology for financial market infrastructures. Although
this does not mean that these countries will opt for full-
fledged Blockchain, further analysis of the safety and
efficiency of this technology is needed.
One of the most interesting and misunderstood concepts in
Blockchain technology is transparency, some say it gives
you privacy while according to few it is transparent.
However, this leads to some confusion about how privacy
and transparency can effectively coexist. In this article we
will clear how Blockchain balances the two concepts.
The identity of a user is concealed behind powerful
cryptography (encrypting and decrypting), meaning that
linking public addresses to private users is difficult to
achieve. Transparency of Blockchain comes from the fact
that the holdings and transactions of each public address are
open for viewing. It is possible through Explorer, an online
block chain browser which displays the content of
individual Bitcoin blocks, transactions and balances of
addresses.
Cryptocurrency and Blockchain are still relatively new
technology; companies are likely to pick up the right
Blockchain technology for the business. Blockchain
companies: Steem is like YouTube on Blockchain and has
attracted over 920,000 users who publish more than 1.5
million posts each month. Steem has also paid over $40
million in its digital asset via (cryptocurrency rewards) to
content creators. Ripple, Intellectsoft, and Celsius Network,
are some of the companies today, assured for success and
will be popular soon.
Centralized systems have treated us well for many
years, but if we see the vulnerabilities: money and
data is stored in one spot, this makes easy target for
malicious activity. What if central banks shut downs or goes
through software upgrade for whatever reason? It may halt
the entire system and nobody will be able to access the
information it possesses. Companies are starting to work
with Blockchain technology; some of them are using it in
the financial sector while others are trying to improve their
bureaucratic systems.
Countries like Singapore, China, Canada, etc. are trying to
offer a national digital currency based on Blockchain

We provide our
customers with
repeatable, proven
process that delivers
consistent end-results
regardless of project
scope or client.
“
“
With the emergence of
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin,
Blockchain technology is disrupting
almost all markets, changing the way
we do our day to day business.
Bitcoins are digital coins you can send
through the internet, its software is
completely open source and you can
trade your currency exchanges with
dollars, euros and more. It’s very much
still an experimental currency and a
high risk for consumers and investors,
but the Bitcoin design has been the
inspiration for various other
applications.
Effectiveness of Blockchain
technology in the following areas in
future:
Smart Contracts- The most critical
area where Blockchain helps is to
guarantee the validity of a transaction
through secure validation mechanism.
Contract is where consent of the parties
is involved to agree and interact with
each other. Industries and institutions
are heavily reliant on contracts, such as
insurance, financial institutions, real
estate, construction, entertainment and
law. A smart contract can formalize the
relationships between people,
institutions and the assets they own.
They eliminate the need for trusted
third parties and are self-verifying,
self-executing and Tamper resistant.
A smart contract is like a cryptographic
box that contains value and only
unlocks if certain conditions are met.
Once involved authorities and
companies are on a Blockchain, a
smart contract could be used to define
the rules of a valid deal.
Supply chain management- A
Blockchain is a digitalized,
decentralized and incorruptible public
ledger that can transform supply
chains, industries and ecosystems. The
following applications are now in use
or can be implemented in supply chain
using Blockchain technology:
Automotive supplier payments- It is
exciting to see cryptocurrency in the
automotive industry. There are also
suppliers and websites available for
buying and selling cars with Bitcoin,
which allows transfer of funds
anywhere in the world without the
need for traditional banking
transactions, as transactions are made
directly between payer and payee. It is
also secure and rapid, transfers also
incur lower fees. However, buying a
car from a random individual is
considered a bit risky.
Food Traceability- Satoshi Nakamoto,
inventor of Blockchain technology
aimed in creating decentralized ledger
leaving behind open source software
that the users would be able to update
and improve. Companies can use
distributed ledger systems to record
product status at each stage of
production. As the records are
permanent and immutable, they make
it possible to trace each product to its
source.
Food volumes such as coffee, tea, oils,
sugar and beans are almost impossible
to track. Blockchain technology
enables the tracking of food packages,
by a unique identifier such as barcode,
QR code or RFID transmitter. The
benefit from using Blockchain is that
no central party needs to be trusted in
order to overlook the data, while still
allowing volumes to be transparent for
everyone in the chain. An area of
concern within the food industry is that
many food products are small and
inexpensive; there is a risk that
tracking of every package and seed can
become expensive. Blockchain enables
integration of simple hardware and
cheap software and is ideally suited for
managing the process.
Supply chains have already started
using Blockchain in some areas of their
operations like electric power micro
grids and cold chain monitoring.
However, transformation of supply
chains will not happen overnight, new
doors may open to faster more
intelligent and more secure process
throughout the entire supply chain.
Criticisms and challenges:
Huge electricity required- Remember
all the power required to verify
transactions demand electricity. In
order to unleash the power of
Blockchain technology, computer
scientists need to solve this big
problem.
Security about the private key-
Private Key must remain secret at all
times because revealing it to the third
parties is same as giving them controls
over Bitcoins secured by that key. Also
the key must be backed up and
protected from accidental loss, because
if it is lost it cannot be recovered and
the funds secured by it are forever lost,
too.
Extremely volatile- Decentralized
Blockchain technology and virtual
currencies are extremely new to the
market. Fluctuating prices of Bitcoin
vary from day to day because
companies, investors, and governments
adopting or not adopting them greatly
affect the volatility.
Blockchain will be an important part of
our financial and technological digital
future. It is one of the incredibly
creative inventions that technology has
ever seen. So how we use it is up to us.
Some companies such as
Overstock.com and Telsa have already
started accepting virtual currencies.
However, it is still not apparent what
the retail leaders like Amazon and
eBay would do with the
cryptocurrency acceptance. But if they
start accepting then it could indeed
transform the global scenario.
Editor’s Choice

Companies in the North America are beginning to
see the Asian market for what it is: A consumer
gold mine. Any global company that does not at
least try to penetrate into this market is at a major
disadvantage. Yet, there are still a vast number of them that
are not willing to ‘launch out into the deep’. This is mainly
due to concerns about bringing their product to a largely
unknown foreign market.
One of the most worrying factors is Cyber security. For
example, a US online retailer needs to know that their
product can be safely shipped and delivered to its Asian
customers. This means maneuvering through the logistics
and custom duties of both countries. Once this issue being
sorted out, then the challenge of having a secure payment
method is the most important component. The transactions
would have to be completed online and you will need a
trust worthy payment provider.
Making the Jump
It is true that launching your product to another country or
region is a huge project. The culture is so diverse that there
is a fear of a policy problems, culture differences,
competition etc. There are few companies that can make
this process much easier. The key is to partner with industry
experts who already know the cultural challenges of
penetrating the markets. Take for example, AsiaPay which
is one of the top electronic payment solution and
technology providers in the Asia pacific region.
AsiaPay is an ISO certified payment service provider in
Asia. We provide a one-stop comprehensive payment
processing in the Asia-pacific region (multi-acquirers and
local settlement) and across various prevailing alternate
payment methods and channels. This is especially the case
for Asia where payment is very different from the West.
While Americans and Europeans are still attached to cash
and credit cards, China has ditched them both. The major
payment method is directly through one’s phone through
applications like WeChat and AliPay in China. AsiaPay has
the widest payment processing and settlement network of
‘Credit Card Acquirers’ and ‘Alternative Methods of
Payments’ across 14 countries. This enables the
organization to provide merchants, banks, and other
payment providers the best combination of payment
methods per country based on local infrastructure and
consumer preferences.
Besides, AsiaPay has specifically designed its payment
gateway platform to deliver unparalleled security,
customizability, scalability, and reliability. It is also one of
the few providers in Asia to be certified as Level 1 PCI
DSS. Importantly, AsiaPay’s bank-grade security is
recognized by acquiring banks and card associations
worldwide.
Presently Asiapay is processing a total of 144 currencies
in global transactions in real time. This creates simplicity
for the merchant who is able to use one base currency for
multiple currency processing. It also creates transparency
for the customer who can see a clear currency conversion
to his or her domestic currency. This is very crucial in the
checkout process. If the customer can see a near accurate
price, they are more comfortable purchasing the product.
Partnering with companies like AsiaPay makes the
transition process significantly easier and provides a
streamlined system for analyzing payment data.
In summary, North America’s online retailers should
consider having a strategic entry plan into the Asian
market. Without doubt, Asia is the new super power in
terms of population growth, economics and purchasing
power.
A Focused and Clear Vision
AsiaPay has achieved tremendous success in a short span
of time. A large part of the credit goes to its founder, Mr.
Joseph Chan, who is also the CEO of the company. He
established AsiaPay in August 2000 and led both
management and product development during the
challenging early days.
He today contributes to the company by focusing on
strategic planning and management in the areas of
finance, electronic banking, and internet and mobile
product services.
Joseph has also contributed to the growth of the industry
by filling the role of an inspirational and insightful
leader. His contributions to the industry has been
recognized with various awards and commendations,
including “China Outstanding Innovative Entrepreneur
Award”, “Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards 2013”,
“the Most Promising Entrepreneurship Award”, “EY
Entrepreneur of the Year 2014” award, “Cards &
Electronic Payments International (CEPI) Asia Disruptor
2016” Award, “2017 (Industry) Influential Leader”，
World Business Leader 2017– Award”，and 2018 ‘The
50 Most Influential Payment Professionals awards’.
Joseph work tirelessly to take AsiaPay forward with a
focused and clear vision of growth to guide the company
to becoming a leading global electronic payment
company.
Expert’s Outlook

Bringing Financial Accessibility for All
In the financial sector lending
money is followed by certain rules
and regulations. For an applicant
who desires to borrow money, it is
necessary to state the loan purpose and
display a satisfactory repayment
capacity. Although this necessarily
doesn’t show that an applicant is
eligible for borrowing, financial
bodies exercise in specific
manner and the process is very
time consuming and rigid. To
resolve this problem and improve
borrower and lender relationship
the P2P lending is becoming an
integral factor in the financial
system and breaks the financial
borders.
In P2P lending a person can
borrow money direct from any
individual who is interested in
lending. This process removes
the middlemen between the
lender and borrower and the role
of traditional financial institution
is eliminated. With the mission
of bringing more flexibility into
the financial sector a Swedish fintech
company called Lendify has become
the largest peer to peer lending
platform in Sweden and a leading P2P
financial service provider. The
company operates an online
marketplace platform that connects
borrowers with investors – without the
involvement of banks or credit card
companies. It offers better terms for
borrowers and solid returns for
investors. By connecting borrowers
with investors, the company aims to
create a better economy for everyone.
Combination of Innovation and
Uniqueness
Lending to individuals which exhibit a
good credit score is a well established
form of investment with a long history.
What Lendify adds to this market is
accessibility and distribution. By
utilizing the latest technology, the
company is able to connect individuals
seeking returns on their investments
directly with borrowers asking to lend
money. All disbursed loans are
collateral free. This means that
predictable default rates are of utmost
importance for the investors. To
ensure a reliable and trustworthy
credit evaluation process, the
company has chosen to involve
technology. One example is
using an automated
technique called
“scraping” which
enables Lendify to
identify and act
upon probable risk
prone behaviour
sourced from the
potential
customer’s credit
card statement. If
such behaviour is
detected the company
can decline the loan
application. This serves a
double purpose which is
protecting the investors from future
credit losses while reducing the over
indebtedness of borrowers. Lendify’s
credit model is conservative and
roughly only 10% of the applicants are
granted loan.
We create better
terms for borrowers
and deliver solid
returns to investors.
By removing the
banks from the
equation we can all
achieve a smarter
economy together!

Lendify rewards is another example of the company’s
innovative solutions. In short it is a unique incentive
program developed for the borrowers. The ambition is to be
a positive force in helping Swedish households improve
their knowledge about, and commitment to, a sound
financial situation. The rewards are built on the principles
of gamification and include several levels that can be
achieved through meeting certain criteria. One critera is
making the payments on time and if the borrower
successfully pays before the due date a certain amount of
points are awarded. Another way of gaining points is
through taking courses in Lendify’s finance school.
Awarded points can later be exchanged for a lower interest
rate which makes the incentive program very compelling
for the borrower, while at the same time increasing their
knowledge, skill and payment discipline. Through increased
education and customer loyalty the company’s low existing
credit losses can decrease even further.
A Marketing Chief
Joined Lendify in June 2017 and has been part of the team
that made the company achieve more than 2 BSEK in
originated loans. Erik Wikander is the Chief Marketing
and Product Officer at Lendify, where he leads marketing
function as well as the product development team,
identifying technologies that can improve customer
experience and operational efficiency.
Leading with Success
According to the Lendify “the challenge is building scalable
technology where the landscape is changing due to PSD2
and keeping up with open banking developments, while at
the same time maintaining the existing platform.” Since
2014 Lendify has lent more than 2 billion SEK to
borrowers. The global audit and consulting firm KPMG lists
Lendify as one of the 100 most successful Fintech
companies worldwide. It is one of 3 companies on the list
from Sweden, together with iZettle and Klarna.
Higher Efficiency in Banking
Open banking will radically change customer experiences
within banking, and is something that will enable Lendify
to create even more and innovative customer solutions. The
company sees itself as a long-term and serious challenger to
the traditional banks. It wants to leave the banks behind, cut
out unnecessary middlemen and provide a modern,
customer centred and digital platform to make the Swedish
loan market more efficient.

Secure Your Network with Intelligence
Cyber
Security

At present, cyber security is
playing a vital role in the
digital world and it is also
known as a standard technology use
for the protection of cyber
environment of an individual or any
organization. It is mainly known for
security culture which includes user
network, drives, software process,
information storage, application
security and system support which is
directly or indirectly connected to the
network. The prime objective of
cyber security is to reduce
continuously growing cyber risks and
cyber threats.
Cyber security technology consists of
a collection of tools, policies,
security concepts, risk management,
actions, and training. The technology
tracks protected networks, data
security from data attack, along with
cyber security and physical security.
The core functionality of cyber-
security is based on techniques
involved protecting information and
system from cyber threats.
How Cyber Security came into
Existence?
As with the history, cyber security
has huge network background with
its own findings and technology
aspects. In the early 1990s, a
research on information security and
policy was been introduced where
information was in the form of
accuracy and based on system
awareness. Under 2016 survey, 70%
of the organizations in the US were
adopted by US Security survey
which is comprised of NIFT
(National Institute of Standards
and Technology)
Cyber-security framework.
Origins of Cyber Security Platform
Cyber security is defined as a
package of safety solutions which
provides major security processes.
There are many sectors which are
consuming cyber security platform as
its major functionality for web
service network. The fundamentals
of cyber security process are,
Ÿ Application Security
Ÿ Information Security
Ÿ Network Security
Ÿ Operational Security
Ÿ Application security is covered
with technology that measures the
feasibility of the application by
finding, fixing and preventing
security exposers. There are
different techniques which are
being used as security platform to
emphasize safety at different
stages of the application cycle.
Application cycle includes
different segments such as design,
development, deployment,
upgrade, and maintenance. The
standard of security process is
consequently changing and
application cycle has also a
different process with different
standardization.
Techniques used in application
security are mainly focused on
its exposer of the application
security. Whitebox security is
used for reviewing the source
code and noticing security flaws
of the application through
manual functionality. Blackbox
security audit is used for testing
security functions where source
code is not needed.
Design review is used as an
application of threat model, and
works before the code is written.
And Tooling is the technique
which includes automated tools
that test security flaws with
higher positive rate.
Ÿ Information security is a core
source of information which is
confidential, integrated and easily
available. The primary focus of
this security process is to the
stable data protection while
maintaining a focus on efficient
policy application. Risk
management process is achieved
by identifying assets, threat
sources, and vulnerabilities and is
also followed by the effectiveness
of the risk management plan.
Information security mainly
works on confidential information
which is highly entitled to the
process.
Ÿ Network security sets a variety
of computer networks, used in
both public and private sector. It
also includes conducting
transactions and build
communications among
businesses, government agencies,
and individuals. All networks are
divided into two sections, private
network and public network.
Private networking is used
within the company and public
network access relates to the
open source network. This
security culture is highly
involved in most of the
companies, enterprises, and other
types of institutions. It is mainly
used for protecting and
overseeing the operations. The
Securing Future

network resource is relatively protected by assigning a
unique name and a corresponding password. The process
is concerned with authentication of username and
password which implements its security concept.
Ÿ Operational security is a process that identifies
information which is critical and easy to determine by
competitor intelligence. It protects individual piece of
data that could be grouped together to give a proper
set of information. It includes critical information
essential for military commanders, senior leaders, and
higher management. The whole process also includes
technical and non-technical measures such as, use of
email encryption software, taking precautions against
spying data and securing confidential information not
to be shared on social media platform.
Operational security is a five-step process which
assists any organization to specify required
information,
Ÿ Identification of critical information
Ÿ Analysis of threats
Ÿ Analysis of Vulnerabilities
Ÿ Assessment of Risk.
Securing Organization Processes
Cyber security process plays a crucial role to impact
information security of the organization. It also explores
the “Relationship between Organization Culture and
Information Security Culture” and contributes into the
organization’s protection as well as maintains all kind of
information. Security process is a never-ending process
in which information is used as a resource tool to
manage statistics security culture.
The security process served five-step processes including
pre-evaluation, strategic planning, operative planning,
and implementation. The pre-evaluation process
identifies the awareness of information security within
employees in the organization. Strategic Planning offers
healthier awareness program where target gets sets
according to the grouping of people. Operative Planning
provides good security process which can be established
based on internal communication, security awareness,
and a training program. Implementation is four stage
process used as security process to implement
information. The process is used for management,
communication with organizational members, and
current employees.
Enhancing Future with Cyber Security
Cyber security is aggressively contributing to the IT field
concerned with reducing organization’s risk and data
break. According to research in 2016, 46% of
organizations carry “problematic shortage” of cyber
security, and is increased by 28% compared to 2015.
Also, government, commercial and non-governmental
organizations use cyber security for better and secure
platform.
The demand for cyber security is increasing rapidly as
professional security worker in all industries are
managing the volume of consumer data of finance,
healthcare, and retail. However, the use of the term
“cyber security” is more popular in all industrial areas
that will help organizations with security process culture.
Conclusion
Cyber security is equally important for local, state, and
central government as these organizations maintains a
huge amount of confidential data and records concerning
the country and its citizens. Yet there are many
government and commercial organizations that face
difficulties in protecting the confidential data due to lack
of inadequate secured infrastructure, and lack of security
awareness.

The word ‘home’ itself conjures
the feeling of coziness and
comfort. Now the concept of
home is changing, and so are the
construction trends. Today’s
homeowners have different priorities
than homeowners of the past. Meeting
those demands in an affordable way is
increasingly challenging.
Advancement in technology brings
flexibility in residential construction
market where costly time-consuming
projects are now completed more
quickly and cost effectively. Prescient
Co Inc., a digital design-build
construction company is transforming
the shape of residential construction
through emerging technologies with its
vision of attainable housing for all.
In the construction business,
multifamily construction is plagued by
rising costs, decreasing productivity,
acrimonious relationships between
participants with slim margins, all
while the need for attainable housing is
increasing globally. Prescient’s mission
is to revolutionize this environment.
Prescient is the only digital design-
build company which harnesses
proprietary technology to link the
discrete disciplines of architectural
design, engineering, manufacturing
and construction. It creates an efficient,
transparent, coordinated and
collaborative process in the building of
up to 180-foot light gauge steel
structures in multi-unit housing and
hospitality. The company accomplishes
this through standardized design, data
sharing, precise off-site manufacturing,
just in time and accurate placement of
inventory on site, with a QR-coded
framing component system for
rapid assembly.
An Ideal Service
Prescient has a proprietary digital
thread technology that links the entire
design, planning, engineering,
manufacturing and assembly process of
multifamily construction. This
approach significantly reduces the
time; cost and risks associated with
typical development projects. The light
gauge steel building components are
manufactured at state of art facilities to
tolerances less than 1 mm. It’s a
combination of software and hardware
solutions that continue to evolve to
meet a greater set of customer and
industry needs.
Prescient’s design and engineering
team will integrate with the rest of the
project design team including
providing the necessary information
for the design and engineering of the
foundation and/or podium of the
project. They will produce the required
stamped drawings and calculations at
all major design milestones.
Prescient’s automated production of
the building super structure provides
the ideal platform to model other major
building systems economically and
effectively. The structural model can be
produced very early during the design
phase, enabling more accurate
information to be available when it is
most needed. The company also offers
additional modeling services that can
lead to significant cost savings by
streamlining project coordination,
eliminating conflicts on site, and
providing more accurate information
for detailed pricing exercises.
A High Flying Executive
Magued Eldaief spent 27 years as a
senior executive in GE before arriving
as Prescient’s CEO in 2017. He has
built a world class leadership team
from within the industry coupled with
executives from other industries with
deep functional experience. He has
been instrumental in improving project
and manufacturing execution and
defining a clear technology and
investment roadmap.
Striking Appearance
Since its inception, Prescient has
grown from a few employees with a
6,000 SF pilot plant in 2013 to 400
employees and two 120,000 SF plants
with 12M SF of annual production
capacity. It has completed 37 buildings
and over 5.9M SF of residential space
and discovered additional customer
needs with every project. This has led
the company to launch many new
products such as integrated stairways,
elevators, metal decking, balconies and
now external sheathing. Each of these
new products has helped to reduce the
time and cost of completing projects.
Enticing Strategy
Prescient’s system touches and affects
not only the developer, architect and
GC but also all the MEP trades
working on the building. In many of its
early projects, it was able to assemble
the building at its accelerated pace (up
to 20k SF/week) but the other trades
weren’t prepared to keep up. Thus, the
developer and GC really didn’t save
anything from the speed at which the
company framed the building. Now,
the company holds pre-project summits
where the GC brings all the trades to
one of its current sites and describes
how the project will work. The
company makes sure everyone knows
what to expect and how to organize
their teams to operate at a pace
consistent with it.
Comprehensive Future Offerings
In the opinion of Prescient, upcoming
tech solutions will be addressing more
and more of the industry’s needs and
customer pain points. That’s why
Prescient continues to innovate to
solve a greater proportion of customer
and industry challenges and will soon
launch new digital portals which will
bring even greater power and ROI to
developers. The system has just
recently been accredited to build
structures up to 65 feet/5 stories in
seismic regions. The first seismic
project to feature the company’s
approach is the 1.4M SF UC Davis
student housing project. It’s the largest

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Platform for the Digital-Era
The
Nex
With a clear vision of delivering “Comprehensive
Cybersecurity for the Digital Era” and solving
the biggest cybersecurity challenges faced by
digitization, Seceon came into existence back in 2015.
Unlike the siloed solutions, Seceon’s platform was built
ground-up to proactively detect breaches and threats via
comprehensive visibility of all assets (users, applications,
services and hosts and their interactions), and automatically
contain and eliminate those threats in real-time.
Seceon’s team is all about “Cybersecurity Done RIGHT”
and making it happen each and every day. The company’s
mission is to empower organizations of all sizes to
proactively detect and automatically contain and eliminate
breaches and threats in real-time. Its continued goal is to
give customers the best comprehensive cybersecurity
solutions, so that they can focus on their core business
instead of worrying about cyber-security.
Solutions that are Making Internet a Safer Place
When it comes to solutions, Seceon provides industry’s first
fully-automated solutions offering real-time, proactive
threat detection, containment and elimination for all threat
categories including Cybercrime (malware, ransomware,
spyware, APTs), Insider threats (compromised credentials,
insider threats, privilege misuse, UEBA), Denial of services
for applications & protocols, Vulnerability exploits for
web/emails/OS applications, Data breaches and exfiltration,
Detect IT mistakes, IIoT/IoT Cyber-security, IDS and
Network Behaviors.
The company offers two solutions: aiSIEM™ and
aiMSSP™ built on its award-winning Open Threat
Management (OTM) Platform.

Ÿ Seceon aiSIEM goes beyond traditional SIEM and
eliminates the need for adding multiple silo solutions. It
ingests raw streaming data – logs from all devices, OS,
Apps and Services in the ecosystem, flows and
subscribes to Microsoft® Windows® Active
Directory™ service – from Cloud, Endpoints and other
IT data sources.
Ÿ Seceon aiMSSP™ enables Managed Security Service
Providers (MSSPs) to offer outsourced security services,
including 24x7 security monitoring, threat intelligence,
and proactive threat detection, elimination and
containment in real-time, at a nominal and predictable
costs.
The Passionate Leader
Chandra Pandey, the Founder and CEO of Seceon, is
passionate about cybersecurity and is renowned for
developing innovative solutions. He holds multiple patents
in security, networking and computing. Chandra works
closely with customers to define and address the problems,
implications, and solutions for defending corporate assets in
today’s highly-connected enterprise.
Chandra realized from the start that in order to really help
the industry, Seceon would have to develop the best
possible cybersecurity platform for enterprises and small-
to-medium businesses (SMBs). It would also need solutions
that worked instantly out-of-the-box, were easy for
enterprises to manage, and were affordable for even small
businesses which are increasingly targeted by cyber
criminals because they often don’t have the expertise or
resources to stop attacks. Thus, Chandra and his team
created comprehensive, cost-effective and quick to deploy
cybersecurity solutions that would solve the tough
cybersecurity issues companies have been struggling with.
Chandra fosters continued innovation at Seceon by
empowering all team members with decision-making
capacities, advocating open and respectful communications,
and building a culture of continuous improvement.
Seceon’s award-winning solutions are the result of 50+
passionate professionals on mission to do Cybersecurity
Done RIGHT, instead of doing another “me too” product.
When Eliminating Cybersecurity Threats is Prime
Target
Since the launch of its platform back in 2016, Seceon has
won more than 80 cybersecurity awards including the
recent 2019 Cyber Defense Magazine for “Hot Company
MSSP Platform InfoSec Award”, “Next Gen Security
Information and Event Management (SIEM) InfoSec
Award” and 2019 Info Security PG’s Global Excellence
award for Best SIEM Solution.

Seceon empowers organizations of any
size to proactively detect and
automatically contain and eliminate
breaches and threats in real-time
The company gained recognition from leading industry
influencers including 451 Research, Ovum, Enterprise
Management Associates, IDC Research, CSO, International
Data Group, Markets and Markets, and Solutions Review.
In 2019, Seceon aiSIEM was named as a leading solution in
the “EMA Top 3 Decision Guide for Security Analytics.”
Team Seceon has also built an award-winning channel
partner program, steadily increasing and solidifying
Seceon’s network of more than 50 US and international
Managed Service Providers, value added distributors and
reseller partners.
Seceon continues to be laser-focused on eliminating cyber
threats and staying ahead of cybercriminals by adding
innovations to its aiSIEM and aiMSSP “Comprehensive
Cybersecurity for the Digital-Era” solutions. Seceon’s
culture helps spur its progress and innovation. Its culture is
based on a strong passion to deliver on Seceon’s vision of
“Cybersecurity Done RIGHT,” mutual respect for its peers,
and an insatiable appetite to solve the digital era’s most
urgent cybersecurity challenges.
Tackling Challenges and Preparing for the Bright
Future
As a 100% channel-driven company, Seceon was initially
challenged by partners whose processes and approvals
required longer cycles to reach customer engagement. Over
time, Seceon learned how to identify and partner with
managed services providers (MSPs) and managed security
services providers (MSSPs) that are equally vested in
Seceon’s goals and motivated to quickly achieve them.
According to Seceon, traditionally, enterprises have built
their security posture by layering multiple security tools
from firewalls, SIEM, User Behavior Analytics, SOAR,
EDR, DLP, Email/Web Filtering, etc., and having a well-
trained SOC team. But the truth is that this doesn’t do the
job. Despite deploying these tools, enterprises still get
breached and face malicious attacks causing data frauds on
a day-to-day basis. With the shift towards cloud computing
and IoT, the attack surface is growing exponentially.
Additionally, in the face of advanced threats and increasing
attack vectors, stacked silo solutions presents a false sense
of “zero-trust” security that no longer suffice.
These disparate silo security solutions are also inherently
not designed to work together and, thus, leave holes that
can be easily exploited by the attackers. Attackers leverage
these gaps to intrude into the enterprise and then work their
way deep inside. Seceon was founded with a clear vision of
delivering “Comprehensive Cybersecurity for the Digital-
Era” and solving the biggest cybersecurity challenges faced
by digitalization. Unlike these siloed solutions, Seceon’s
platform was created to proactively detect breaches and
threats via comprehensive visibility of all assets (users,
applications, services and hosts and their interactions), and
automatically contain and eliminate those threats in
real-time.
