Global IT company Unisys Corporation has launched a number of new security solutions and products at the annual Americas Analyst and Advisor Summit in Dallas. The offerings are aimed at protecting both information and infrastructure against digital threats.
The company’s main new offerings are upgrades to its Unisys Stealth line of products, all of which are software-based and aimed at compatibility with enterprise infrastructure and the reduction of hardware and deployment costs. Stealth(Core) is a platform aimed at compartmentalizing data, using what the company calls “micro-segmentation” and cryptography to restrict any one user’s view of enterprise data. Stealth(Mobile) is essentially a mobile data encryption platform allowing secure access to enterprise data, while Stealth(Cloud) extends these security apparatuses to the cloud.
Other offerings being promoted by Unisys include security consulting and management services, as well as the Unisys Location, Perimeter, and Surveillance Security platform, a service-oriented security platform based on multimodal biometric authentication, tailored to the specific needs of the client. The platform has iris, voice, fingerprint, signature, and face modalities at its disposal, and can combine them with non-biometric credentials.
It’s a smorgasbord of offerings, and it’s one to take seriously, given Unisys’ track record in major government projects: Last year, the company was selected to provide a facial recognition system for the UK’s passport agency, and earlier this year the company wrapped up a pilot project with the US government testing a biometric passenger screening system for airports. Looking more to the IT side of things, Unisys experts were early in issuing serious warnings about the security dangers associated with the growing Internet of Things as well as mPayments – both areas of increasing concern to security experts.
