Herta Awarded the Highly Competitive “COVID-19 Response Seal of Excellence” From the European Commission
BARCELONA, Spain, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In May 2020, Herta was awarded with the COVID-19 Seal of Excellence certificate delivered by the European Commission (EC) for the project AWARE.
Seal Of Excellence Herta
AWARE was sent for evaluation to the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator Pilot. As stated by the EC, the EIC Accelerator Pilot offers Europe’s brightest and boldest entrepreneurs the chance to step forward and request funding for breakthrough ideas with the potential to create entirely new markets or revolutionize existing ones. Highly innovative SMEs with a clear commercial ambition and a potential for high growth and internationalization are the prime target. The 20th of March 2020, the EC made an urgent call through the EIC Accelerator Pilot for technologies and innovations that could help in treating, testing, monitoring or other aspects of the Coronavirus outbreak.
The COVID-19 Seal of Excellence is a highly competitive quality label awarded to project proposals which were evaluated to have a high excellence and impact to deserve funding in this special call, but did not receive it due to current EC’s budgetary constraints.
AWARE proposes a hybrid edge and distributed solution for advanced video analytics, including real-time face recognition and crowd behaviour analysis. Part of the computing pipeline is executed on-premise, on low-power and small-size edge stations using Deep Neural Network accelerator hardware. This allows saving costs and increasing system’s scalability, efficiency and ease-of-installation. HERTA’s cutting-edge algorithms, which are able to identify people even when wearing masks and monitor crowd density, are integrated in the solution. The automatic control of social distancing and the identification of persons in access controls without the need of removing masks become vitally important to control the spread of COVID-19, and are Herta’s main focus to fight against the pandemic.
NetFoundry Zero Trust Networking API Is Now Available at the World’s Largest API Marketplace – RapidAPI

|
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Envisioning a future in which users can spin up zero trust, high performance networking, NetFoundry’s API is now available in the world’s largest API marketplace – RapidAPI.
Developers can now implement zero trust, cloud-orchestrated, programmable networking between any set of cloud applications, edge applications, user devices and IoT devices. The resultant private networks eliminate dependencies on MPLS or VPNs.
"We’ve been using the NetFoundry APIs to integrate private networking into our DevOps cycles in a simple, secure and reliable manner, with excellent results improving our automation and agility," said Sergio Sancez, CEO AGT
Idit Oryon, Head of partnerships at Rapid API says, "RapidAPI is excited to collaborate with NetFoundry to offer its cloud native zero trust, programmable networking APIs on the world’s largest API Marketplace. RapidAPI enables developers to easily find, connect to, and manage the APIs they need for building diverse applications without duplicating efforts by building complex code. By making NetFoundry’s software-only, zero trust models accessible to our development community, they can now add zero trust security and optimized performance to their next-generation applications."
"We are delighted to enable developers to simply and programmatically spin up zero trust networking without doing network engineering, leveraging our RapidAPI marketplace API," said Galeal Zino, Founder & CEO of NetFoundry. Galeal continued, "This is the second wave: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) APIs gave developers the abstractions and controls necessary to leverage cloud native compute; now Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) enables developers to easily leverage cloud native networking."
"The NetFoundry platform with their programmable endpoints and APIs enables multi-cloud automation and automates networking inside DevOps constructs," says Ananda Das, CEO of Technilium, Australia.
"Our partnership with RapidAPI enables developers to build next-generation secure-by-design applications that require secure transactions, smart automated digital services," says Sreelakshmi Sarva, Head of Product at NetFoundry.
Developers may now subscribe to the NetFoundry API via the RapidAPI marketplace to spin up application-specific networks termed "NetFoundry AppWANs". AppWANs provide micro-segmented, software-only, high-performance access to applications. These apps can be made to be invisible to the internet, accessible only via the private, zero trust AppWAN overlays. Because the solution is app-specific, software-only and cloud-orchestrated, it can be used to provide security and performance for any application, without disrupting any existing WANs or networks, and without impacting other applications.
About NetFoundry
NetFoundry Inc. is the leader in providing zero trust, high performance, cloud native networking. Customers use NetFoundry’s turnkey, software-only NaaS services and APIs to spin up private, zero trust networks in minutes, securely connecting any application on any device via any Internet access. Partners also build their own solutions, leveraging the software which NetFoundry built, open sourced and is the leading contributor to, available at Ziti.dev.
