Thales and Intel Enable Advanced Protection for the Google Cloud Ecosystem
- Enables persistent protection of the most sensitive enterprise workloads in the cloud through customer-controlled data security, not observable by non-authorized parties
- Protects against malicious actors accessing code and data at rest, in transit and while in use
(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thales, the leading global technology and security provider, today announced a collaboration leveraging its CipherTrust Data Security Platform (CDSP) to support End-To-End Data Protection (E2EDP) on Google Cloud, using Confidential Computing (CC) from Google Cloud and trusted cloud independent attestation provided by Intel Trust Authority (ITA).
The effort is a step forward in data security, giving enterprises additional controls to protect their data at rest, in transit, and in use.
“As more enterprises migrate their data and workloads to the cloud, there is an increasing demand to safeguard the privacy and integrity of the data, especially those sensitive workloads that include intellectual property, AI models and valuable personal information. This collaboration enables enterprises to protect and control their data at rest, in transit and in use with fully verifiable attestation. Our close collaboration with Google Cloud and Intel increases our customers' trust in their cloud migration,” said Todd Moore, Vice President of Data Security Products at Thales.
A majority of the 2023 Thales Cloud Security Study respondents reported having a significant amount of sensitive data stored and in use in the cloud. Consequently, safeguarding sensitive data and associated workloads when stored or in use, is an increasing priority, especially for highly regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare. Thales's collaboration with Intel and Google Cloud provides certifiable controls for enterprises to fully protect their data end-to-end.
Purnam Sheth, Vice President and General Manager: Trust and Security Products, SATG at Intel: “Creating this groundbreaking, seamless data security platform in Google Cloud meets customers’ complex requirements for data protection, controlled access and security, and adherence to compliance for data at rest, in transit and in use. Foundational Intel® Trust Domain Extensions Confidential Compute and Intel® Trust Authority gives enterprises assurance of the integrity of their workloads and guards at all stages of data management. This valuable collaboration between Thales, Google Cloud and Intel makes this possible.”
This security platform is based on the principle of separation of duties, where the customer remains in control of the encryption keys and their location. This approach enhances trust by holding each stakeholder responsible for their respective roles and reduces the ability for a malicious actor to access code and data at rest, in transit and while being executed.
Customers can migrate existing workloads with sensitive data or create new workloads needing zero trust, confidential computing and Confidential AI to this security platform in Google Cloud to broaden data security, attestation and set the right authorizations. With end-to-end data protection, multiple parties can securely collaborate on various use cases, such as Confidential AI datasets and models as needed while preserving privacy, confidentiality, and compliance with privacy regulations.
The Thales CipherTrust Data Security Platform uses Intel Trust Authority as a zero-trust, independent attestation service for advanced security and scalable confidential computing. Consistent attestation to Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) that are based on Intel Trust Domain Extensions. This single, consistent attestation process provides assurance to any relying party that the TEE and any data and workloads running within it have not been compromised.
Brian Roddy, VP, Product Management, Google Cloud: “Google Cloud is committed to providing our customers secure, private and reliable environments for their workloads, and our Confidential Computing portfolio plays a critical role in this effort. Offering our customers solutions like Thales’ encryption key management expertise, combined with Intel’s Trust Authority attestation, enables the choice of even stronger privacy controls.”
The collaboration comes as Thales is recognized for its achievements in the Google Cloud ecosystem. For the second year in a row, Thales has received the 2024 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year Award for Security - Data Protection.

Taking security screening into a new era with unparalleled material discrimination accuracy
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, today announces that it has launched the SDX 10060 XDi, a ground-breaking X-ray scanner powered by diffraction technology.
X-ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful inspection technology offering highly accurate material discrimination and substance identification based on an object’s molecular structure. XRD is particularly suited to detecting constantly evolving compounds in powder, liquid or solid forms, such as ‘homemade’ explosives or narcotics, even for materials with similar densities.
Multi-level baggage and material handling operations and express forwarders are under pressure to screen huge volumes quickly and efficiently. The SDX 10060 XDi can transform this process by automating the resolution of potential explosive alarms, in turn improving both security and efficiency.
Due to its exceptional sensitivity, XRD technology can also be very effectively deployed to support customs agencies in screening for a range of contraband items including narcotics, helping to mitigate ever-growing threats to society.
Jerome de Chassey, President of Smiths Detection, commented: “We are immensely excited to announce the launch of the SDX 10060 XDi which marks a new era in security screening. Every minute of every day our threat detection and security screening technology helps to protect people and infrastructure, and this new development highlights our commitment to making the world a safer place.

New Research Finds 83% of Supply Chains Can’t Respond to Disruptions in 24 Hours
OTTAWA, Ontario - Tuesday, 16. April 2024 AETOSWire
Global survey of 1,800 supply chain leaders shows average response time is five days, hindering progress on resiliency and risk mitigation
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Despite being one of the biggest lessons from the pandemic era, a new IDC study* sponsored by Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS) reveals slow progress in making supply chains more flexible and resilient while also highlighting optimism towards supply chain orchestration tools as a key enabler for the future.
According to research, less than one-fifth (17%) of global supply chain leaders say their companies can respond to disruptions within 24 hours. Highlighting their widespread frustration, a staggering two-thirds (67%) of respondents admit they are not “very satisfied” with their response time.
The comprehensive survey of 1,800 supply chain decision-makers from around the world exposes the harsh reality that most are struggling to keep their operations agile and adaptable amid an onslaught of disruptions from geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, and other volatility. While the average crisis response time is a troubling five days, the survey shows performance varies across industries. In the Oil & Gas sector for example, 28% of respondents say they can mount a response within a day, compared to 15% in life sciences and 14% in aerospace.
“It’s more common than ever on quarterly earnings calls to hear that supply chains make or break success and this data proves that there is a tremendous opportunity across all sectors to improve resilience and risk mitigation,” said John Sicard, president and CEO at Kinaxis. “Cutting-edge, AI-enhanced, end-to-end orchestration tools that enable companies to gain transparency, agility and improved collaboration can help address these compounding trends and make chief supply chain officers the heroes instead of the scapegoats the next time trouble appears on the horizon.”
Although respondents in all regions are overwhelmingly not “very satisfied” with their business’ ability to withstand and respond to supply chain shocks, they remain optimistic about technology’s potential to turn the tide, with 97% saying better orchestration tools would have a modest (44%) or significant (53%) impact on supply chain performance.
Other key findings include:
Industrial respondents rate their resiliency highest (47%), while retail (29%) and aerospace (27%) rate themselves lowest
42% of consumer product respondents rated their supply chain orchestration as mature, the highest among all verticals
25% of respondents plan to move to new technologies in the next year to improve resilience
33% want supply chain orchestration platforms that offer AI/genAI capabilities
63% view their supply chain as some form of competitive advantage over the next 12 months, but it drops to 48% across the next 1-3 years
37% said the biggest roadblock to adopting a supply chain orchestration application was not finding the right vendor solution

Methodology: Research was conducted in December 2023 by IDC and commissioned by Kinaxis, surveying 1,800 Supply Chain Leaders across North America (USA and Canada), Europe (UK, France, and Germany), and APAC (Japan, Taiwan, India, and Australia).

kevin. Triumphs with First Account-to-Account NFC iPhone Transaction
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, 16. April 2024 AETOSWire Print
kevin.'s Innovation Sets New Payment Standard in the Wake of Regulatory Changes
In an event set to disrupt the in-store payment landscape, kevin., a pioneer in payment technology, has successfully conducted the first-ever account-to-account NFC transaction on an iPhone.
Video of transaction: link
In a financial world where convenience and security are paramount, kevin. has established a new pinnacle by executing the first non-Apple Pay account-to-account near-field communication (NFC) payment on an iPhone. This technological leap forward follows the European Commission’s pressure on Apple to democratize NFC access. It comes after years in which Apple's strict control over NFC technology in iOS devices had stifled third-party competition.
Pavel Sokolovas, co-founder of kevin., articulates the magnitude of this moment: “Breaking through the final barriers of NFC payments on iOS devices represents a true watershed moment. We’re immensely proud to be the first to provide account-to-account transactions using Apple’s NFC, giving consumers the power to choose how they pay.”
In January 2022, kevin. enabled this innovative payment method for Android users, a move lauded for its originality and drive towards an open payment ecosystem. Now, with regulatory changes in stride, kevin. swiftly attained authorization under Apple's NFC Entitlement Program and embarked on development in their controlled environment.
Six weeks following Apple's program launch, kevin. celebrated the successful execution of the experimental transaction in development mode, setting the stage for what could revolutionize Point of Sale (POS) interactions.
Sokolovas outlined the technical journey: “We’ve been rigorously developing within Apple’s architectural framework. Our team worked tirelessly to integrate our kevin. technical solution within Apple host card emulation (HCE), including security standards, transaction validation and so much more to create a seamless experience allowing users transactions from within their banking or wallet apps.”
The European Commission continues to monitor feedback from early developers like kevin. while anticipating the official commencement of broader NFC implementation. This scrutiny underscores the Commission's dedication to nurturing innovation and competition in the mobile payment sphere.
Looking ahead, the industry anticipates a surge in similar payment solutions following this initial success. kevin. has set a dominant precedent, promising an open market where consumers are no longer limited by device-specific payment platforms —reshaping how transactions are conducted worldwide.

The program is funded by the $5M grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that was previously announced by Butterfly in March 2022 and is part of the Gates Foundation's efforts to ensure more women receive ultrasounds and benefit from life-saving diagnostic tools. In Phase One, 500 iQ+ handheld, whole-body probes were successfully distributed across Kenya in Q4 2022.
Phase Two of the program, titled Siyakubona (meaning “we see you” in Zulu), will distribute the remaining 500 iQ+ devices to healthcare workers across up to six provinces in South Africa. The device distribution and training efforts began today in the first province, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Here, approximately 50 mid-level practitioners have been enrolled in a week-long training program facilitated by GUSI. The course will provide health workers with the skills and confidence to conduct obstetric ultrasound screenings for key indicators, such as baby’s position or presence of multiples, that are fundamental to quality pregnancy care, as well as for identifying high-risk conditions.
"Butterfly is proud to continue improving maternal health equity through Phase Two of the largest-scale handheld ultrasound distribution and training ever conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa. South Africa is an emerging market that continues to have disproportionately high rates of maternal mortality and stillbirth. Patients need easier access to antenatal imaging, and clinicians need better capabilities for screening high-risk conditions that lead to disproportionately worse pregnancy outcomes in rural areas in the public sector,” said Dr. Sachita Shah, Sr. Director, Global Health, Butterfly Network. “Together with CHAI and GUSI, we can tackle this by making ultrasound much more accessible, so high-risk conditions can be identified earlier in care, which is known to improve outcomes.”
Dr. Kevin Bergman, Co-Founder and CEO of Global Ultrasound Institute, added, “We are thrilled to continue collaborating with Butterfly through Phase Two of this initiative. We know this device distribution and training model works – Phase One efforts in Kenya are proving to be an incredible success; over 500 providers were trained and are now offering ultrasound services across 224 Kenyan public facilities. More than 200,000 scans have since been conducted! We expect to see this impact replicated in South Africa, by similarly providing health workers with the equipment, in depth training, and necessary skills to use Butterfly for antenatal screening, which they will bring back to their communities to create long-term, sustainable care.”
"This partnership and training program represents a significant step forward in our efforts to improve maternal and fetal health in South Africa," said Vishal Brijlal, Senior Country Advisor at CHAI. "With access to innovative technologies such as the Butterfly iQ+, we can enhance diagnostic capabilities and strengthen healthcare delivery systems, ultimately helping save the lives of mothers and babies, and build healthier communities. We look forward to working closely with Butterfly Network and the Global Ultrasound Institute to achieve our shared goal of advancing global health equity."
The program is also made possible by key logistical partners, including Core Group, a leading distributor of Apple products in Sub-Saharan Africa; JAMF, the standard in Apple Enterprise Management and privacy software; Melon Mobile, digital mobile virtual network operator; and Zebra Medical, the South African distribution partner for Butterfly devices.

Uptime Institute Launches Uptime Institute Sustainability Assessment for Digital Infrastructure
NEW YORK - Tuesday, 16. April 2024
New Assessment enables organizations to identify, document, track, and report on sustainability metrics & programs across their IT estate
(BUSINESS WIRE)--Uptime Institute today announced the launch of the comprehensive Uptime Institute Sustainability Assessment, an assessment and award service that empowers organizations to clearly assess, benchmark, and demonstrate the sustainability credentials of their digital infrastructure to all their stakeholders, whether their applications are deployed in their own enterprise-operated data centers, as well as colocation data centers, or hosted by other third-parties such as hyperscalers or managed service providers.
Organizations that undertake the Uptime Institute Sustainability Assessment will be able to develop a clear view of their sustainability status and achievements to date across a wide range of independent and interdependent corporate functions and criteria, and then monitor and demonstrate progress over time, both internally and externally. The insights gained from the Assessment can be used to make continuous improvements in support of sustainability commitments while allowing participating organizations to be publicly recognized for their efforts in meeting globally accepted digital infrastructure sustainability best practices.
The Uptime Institute Sustainability Assessment identifies and reviews the steps that have been taken, and progress made, across all aspects of data center sustainability in 14 key categories and over 50 subcategories. This assessment can be used for a single location, or across a distributed hybrid IT estate. Key areas include IT equipment, energy and water usage, carbon emissions and waste, including reuse and recycling of end-of-life equipment, and span disciplines such as IT Operations and Management, Facility Operations & Management, and cross-functional areas such as clean energy and IT and facilities equipment procurement and corporate greenhouse gas reporting. The assessment scope uniquely balances the global requirement for more efficient and sustainable digital infrastructure, while also recognizing that resiliency and availability must not be compromised.
The introduction of the Uptime Institute Sustainability Assessment comes at a critical time for all organizations operating and outsourcing digital infrastructure. The increasing visibility of the data center sector, partly due to the significant growth in aggregate energy use and carbon emissions within the sector, has led to increased scrutiny of data centers’ individual and collective environmental footprint and sustainability strategies by regulators, legislators, customers and investors alike, and calls for much greater transparency. Organizations are increasingly expected to have meaningful oversight of the environmental footprint of their digital infrastructure, have clear roadmaps covering all areas of data center sustainability and have defined actionable programs for continuous improvement.
Recent and repeated research by Uptime Intelligence suggests that many IT and data center operators are still at an early stage in this rapidly evolving and increasingly complex journey. According to Uptime Intelligence’s latest report, “Sustainability strategies face greater pressure in 2024,” fewer than half of digital infrastructure operators are compiling and reporting water usage (41%), only a quarter (26%) track IT waste or recycling, and only 23% compile and report all three Scopes (1,2, and 3) of carbon emissions.
To ensure the Uptime Institute Sustainability Assessment is comprehensive today and also anticipates future needs, Uptime Institute analyzed over 150 current and proposed standards, regulations and laws from around the world. Uptime’s global, multi-disciplinary development team worked with a sophisticated, representative consortium of over two dozen world-class enterprises and service providers which collectively have built and operate hundreds of data centers and have over 3 gigawatts of installed capacity in 38 countries.
Because it takes local and regional requirements, low carbon energy and green resource availability as well as climatic conditions into account, the Uptime Institute Sustainability Assessment is applicable around the world, setting the baseline for globally accepted digital infrastructure sustainability best practices. The outputs from the Assessment have been designed to be consistent wherever possible, with internationally accepted standards and current and emerging regulatory reporting requirements.
“As with the unique and groundbreaking production of the Uptime Sustainability Executive Advisory report series in 2021 and the Accredited Sustainability Advisor education course first introduced in 2022, this assessment has been designed to help data center owner-operators and service provider communities build, deploy, benchmark and manage impactful and practical sustainability programs that deliver tangible results,” said Ali Moinuddin, Chief Corporate Development Officer, Uptime Institute. “The Sustainability Assessment will allow organizations to identify which sustainability initiatives can help reduce the environmental impact and operating expenses of their specific data center operating modality and deployment architecture without comprising the availability and resiliency of their mission-critical digital infrastructure.”
Since the first “Uptime Institute Green IT Symposium" in 2007, Uptime has worked tirelessly to address the profound environmental and economic impacts of this ever more important sector, which now enables and underpins the way the world works. The Uptime Institute Sustainability Assessment is grounded in Uptime's unparalleled depth and breadth of applied institutional knowledge, which has evolved over two decades of helping tens of thousands of organizations around the world identify, manage, and reduce the environmental impact of their digital infrastructure.
