As Digital Transformation Accelerates, Entrust Datacard Becomes “Entrust”

Leave a comment

Entrust name and identity reflect the critical need for trust at the heart of the digital transformation — and the centrality of Entrust’s innovation to secure a rapidly changing world

SINGAPORE, Sept. 18, 2020 — Entrust Datacard today announced a new brand identity and company name — Entrust. The move both continues the company’s enduring leadership and innovation in identity, payments, and data protection, and highlights Entrust’s position as a leader in developing the core technologies needed to keep the world moving safely.

"The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how critical digital transformation is in our daily lives," said Todd Wilkinson, CEO of Entrust. "As consumers, we depend on digital technologies and security to do more than ever, whether it’s making purchases, crossing borders, accessing government services or logging into corporate networks. We are proud that some of the world’s largest governments, organizations and enterprises trust us to keep citizens, commerce and information moving safely. Making Entrust the foundation of our brand reflects how our technology and innovation are central to securing this ever-evolving world."

The company was founded as Datacard Corporation in 1969, and acquired Entrust in 2013, becoming Entrust Datacard. Entrust today offers an unmatched breadth of solutions, including credential issuance, identity and data protection, and digital certificates and signing solutions.

Commitment to innovation and growth

In recent years, Entrust has expanded from its core physical credential issuance focus to build a robust digital security solution portfolio and market presence. In addition to a sustained long-term investment in R&D, the company has made a recent series of strategic acquisitions, including PKI providers Trustis and Safelayer, authentication provider SMS Passcode, and nCipher, the market leader in hardware security modules (HSMs).

As a result, Entrust has transformed into one of the world’s largest providers of digital security software, and the global leader in credential issuance solutions. The company is in a unique position to innovate and invest to meet the rising security and identity needs of its customers. Entrust is making significant R&D investments to bring to market new card issuance technology, secure cloud enablement and advancements to its authentication, digital signing, identity management and HSM solutions. The company recently launched its next-generation PKI platform, tailored to meet today’s rising "encrypt everything" demands amidst rising threats, and earlier this year introduced new solutions for passwordless authentication and digital onboarding.

With nearly $800M in annual revenue and 2,500 employees, Entrust is trusted by some of the world’s most demanding, compliance-driven institutions in finance, technology and government. The company provides sales and service in more than 150 countries through 50 offices and a global network of more than 1,000 technology and channel partners.

"Earning the benefits of digital transformation requires a foundation of trust. As identity, payment and data protection ecosystems become more complex and interconnected, trust enables the resiliency and scale needed to make our digital lives possible," said Frank Dickson, Program VP, Cybersecurity Products, IDC. "Entrust began delivering trust in payment card solutions 50 years ago and has added breadth and depth to its trusted identity and data security solutions ever since. Thus, centering the brand on Entrust makes sense — it helps the market see the common thread of high-assurance trust-building technology that carries through all of its identity, payment and data protection solutions."

A simplified, refreshed brand

Entrust’s new name and branding honors the company’s heritage as it looks ahead. Datacard will continue to be featured prominently as the product line name for the company’s high-volume card issuance solutions, and the company continues to invest and innovate in high-volume hardware, software, services and supplies. Similarly, while the nCipher name will transition to Entrust over time, the nShield product line name for its market-leading HSMs will be retained and become an Entrust product line.

The branding evolution includes a new logo, brand colors, website, tagline, and positioning that are tightly linked to Entrust’s focus on securing a rapidly changing world.

"In evolving our brand, we wanted to make our mission clear. We come to work every day with one thing in mind: delivering solutions that enable the highest level of trust in every interaction our customers facilitate. Enabling trust is our mission, our value proposition, and the focus of all the innovative technologies we continue to develop for clients worldwide," said Karen Kaukol, Chief Marketing Officer, Entrust.

About Entrust

Entrust keeps the world moving safely by enabling trusted identities, payments and data protection. Today more than ever, people demand seamless, secure experiences, whether they’re crossing borders, making a purchase, accessing e-government services or logging into corporate networks. Entrust offers an unmatched breadth of digital security and credential issuance solutions at the very heart of all these interactions.

Ericsson accelerates 5G for Enterprise with acquisition of Cradlepoint

Leave a comment

– Ericsson acquires the market-leader for Wireless Edge WAN solutions for an enterprise value of USD 1.1 b.

– Acquisition complements Ericsson’s enterprise offerings and creates valuable new revenue streams for customers

– Transaction expected to close during Q4 2020, subject to merger clearance and other closing conditions

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 18, 2020 — Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has agreed to acquire Cradlepoint, the US-based market leader in Wireless Edge WAN 4G and 5G Enterprise solutions. The investment is key to Ericsson’s ongoing strategy of capturing market share in the rapidly expanding 5G Enterprise space. Cradlepoint complements Ericsson’s existing 5G Enterprise portfolio which includes Dedicated Networks and a global IoT platform.

The combined offering will create valuable new revenue streams for customers by supporting full 5G-enabled services for enterprise, and boost returns on investments in the network.

Cradlepoint will become a fully owned subsidiary of Ericsson while continuing to operate under its existing brand. Cradlepoint employees will remain within the company, headquartered in Boise, Idaho. It will be part of Ericsson’s Business Area Technologies & New Businesses.

The acquisition price amounts to an enterprise value of USD 1.1 b. with the transaction expected to close before the end of Q4 2020, subject to closing conditions. The purchase price, which is funded from Ericsson’s cash-in-hand, is paid in full on closing. Cradlepoint’s sales for 2019 were SEK 1.2 b. with a gross margin of 61%. Ericsson’s operating margins are expected to be negatively impacted by approximately 1% in 2021 and 2022 – where half is related to amortization of intangible assets which arise from the acquisition. Cradlepoint is expected to contribute to operating cash-flow starting in 2022. Ericsson’s 2022 group financial targets remain unchanged. 

Wireless wide area network (wireless WAN) Edge solutions connect through 4G and 5G to deliver fast, secure, and flexible connectivity wherever and whenever it is needed for businesses, mobility and critical frontline emergency services. Cradlepoint is strongly positioned in a market with underlying growth of 25-30%.

Börje Ekholm, President and CEO Ericsson, says: "Portfolio-near acquisitions are an integral part of our earlier communicated strategy. The acquisition of Cradlepoint complements our existing offerings and is key to our strategy of helping customers grow the value of their 5G network investments. Ericsson is uniquely positioned to build on Cradlepoint’s leadership position in Wireless Edge and the wireless WAN market. Combining the scale of our market access and established relationships with the world’s biggest mobile operators we are making a strong investment to support our customers to grow in this exciting market. I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all Cradlepoint employees."

George Mulhern, CEO and Chairman, Cradlepoint says: "We have led the way in bringing the power of cellular networks and technologies to enterprise and public sector customers – helping them connect beyond the limits of traditional wired WANs. Ericsson with its global 5G leadership is a great match for us and I am very excited to continue to scale and expand our business together."

Founded in 2006, Cradlepoint has more than 650 employees, providing wireless WAN solutions that deliver enterprise-grade connectivity. In addition to the company headquarters in Boise, Idaho, USA, the company operates a research and development center in Silicon Valley, California, and new market offices in the United Kingdom and Australia.

Cradlepoint’s subscription model combines cloud-delivered software with hardware endpoints, support and training.

Ericsson’s long-standing collaboration with Cradlepoint dates back to the launch of 4G in the U.S. market more than a decade ago.

GSM Seeking Crowdfunding for Self-developed 270,000mAh Large-capacity and High-power Generator “RELIFE” Capable of Replacing Battery

Leave a comment

NAHA, Japan, Sept. 18, 2020 — GSM Co., Ltd. has succeeded in developing the latest generator, dubbed "RELIFE," which has the great appeal of being able to replace the battery. From GSM’s initial concept, it took the company’s team approximately 18 months to complete this prototype. The RELIFE has started crowdfunding on Indiegogo and Kickstarter. The campaigns, starting in mid-September 2020, will last for about a month. If the campaigns are successful, shipment of the product in return is planned for February 2021. Backers can apply for the product at a discount of about 40% after the campaigns.

With uncertainty and instability in these COVID-19 times, GSM hopes its product will add security to people’s daily lives. A blackout can be a major disruptive factor in life. It disrupts the workflow, and can even threaten people’s lives depending on what machines and medical apparatus they rely on. Power station batteries should be designed to be replaceable; the entire purpose of a power station is to see people through at a time when there are no options for recharging. Obviously, solar power is an option, but with current technology, it takes quite a lot of time. That’s why RELIFE is made with a removable casing for easy battery replacement.

VeChain Joins China Animal Health And Food Safety Alliance (CAFA) As Council Member To Provide Blockchain Technology For Enterprise Members

Leave a comment

SHANGHAI, Sept. 18, 2020 — As the world’s leading enterprise friendly blockchain platform, VeChain has officially joined the China Animal Health And Food Safety Alliance (hereafter referred as CAFA) as one of the council members. VeChain will be the sole public blockchain technology provider in the alliance, providing technical and infrastructural support for the council members.

All Members of CAFA
All Members of CAFA

CAFA is a government-backed organization directly under the Chinese National Agricultural Science Technology Innovation Alliance initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture of the People’s Republic of China, which aims to build a trustworthy platform that connects the government, industry associations, producer enterprises and research institutes in the food sector.

Since its launch, CAFA has revealed more than 130 members that are already signed up as official members of the alliance. These members consist of massive companies and bodies across upstream and downstream parties in the food industry, including supermarkets, food and beverage manufacturers, e-commerce platforms and more. Other members also include major players in the CTI industry, research labs, agricultural and animal supplies.

As a council member of CAFA, VeChain intends to enhance CAFA’s strategy of "building a from-farm-to-table traceability system across the entire country".

By using VeChain ToolChain™, all enterprise members of the alliance will be capable of logging key processes of food products onto the blockchain in an immutable and secured way, bridging trust between consumers and the enterprises. Traceability can start from cultivation, processing, packaging, logistics, to retail and more, which perfectly assists CAFA’s vision of "providing consumers with safe, high-quality and healthy food of animal origin".

VeChain ToolChain’s scalable and easy-to-implement technology has already captivated the enterprise world, and the technology has already on-boarded its first alliance member as a user of the platform since the inception of CAFA, with more expected to join.

Launched in 2019, VeChain ToolChain™ has become a powerful tool for business owners to integrate the VeChainThor public blockchain into existing business processes. Based on the experience of collaborating with big enterprises such as Walmart China Food Traceability Platform and Foodgates, VeChain ToolChain™ provides built-in, ready-to-use templates and customizable tools, which enables every food enterprise to quickly achieve full lifecycle traceability for their supply chains in a controllable cost.

Positioned as the enabler for the real economy, VeChain continues to promote exponential mass adoption of blockchain technology and drive tangible value for businesses. By powering traceability platforms for alliances such as CAFA and other similar partners, the VeChainThor blockchain would be used by hundreds and thousands of businesses without needing VeChain to approach them individually.

About CAFA

Established in 2009, CAFA focuses closely on animal health and food safety issues as well as solving major technical problems and bottlenecks involved throughout the industry chain. Members of CAFA include scientific research institutes, industry associations, aquaculture enterprises, testing and certification enterprises, veterinary medicine enterprises, consulting enterprises, catering enterprises and supermarkets. The alliance is committed to providing consumers with safe, high quality and healthy animal source foods.

Website: www.cafa.org.cn

About VeChain

Launched in 2015, VeChain connects blockchain technology to the real world by providing a comprehensive governance structure, a robust economic model, and IoT integration. VeChain is the pioneer of real-world applications using public blockchain technology, with international operations in Singapore, Luxembourg, Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, Hong Kong, and San Francisco. Together with our strategic partners PwC and DNV GL, we have established cooperative relations with many leading enterprises in different industries, including Walmart China, BMW, BYD Auto, Haier, H&M, LVMH, D.I.G, ENN, AWS, PICC, ASI etc.
