Colt said that the partnership will give organisations deeper visibility into their encrypted network traffic, improving security and helping them to stay on top of complex regulatory requirements.
The collaboration will see Colt integrate VigilanceAI, Venari Security’s Encrypted Traffic Analysis (ETA) platform, into its existing service offering.
VigilanceAI provides insight and visibility into how encryption is actively used across the enterprise, including cloud, regulated and third-party environments.
This will allow Colt customers to maintain strong encryption standards while supporting data privacy in transit, Colt said. By providing this validation and visibility, Colt’s customers can reduce their risk exposure and potential attack surface.
“Venari Security’s solution enables businesses to measure, monitor, and ensure compliance with encrypted communications,” Mirko Voltolini, VP innovation at Colt Technology said.
“Regulated industries and global organisations face significant challenges meeting country-specific and regulatory obligations. In recent years we have seen a significant change in regulatory and privacy laws requiring data to be encrypted in transit.
“Venari Security’s VigilanceAI platform enables Colt to help our customers solve in a truly innovative way the challenge associated with encrypted communications.”
Hiten Mistry, chief revenue officer at Venari Security said that with Colt’s footprint across capital markets and enterprise organisations, the company is excited about the partnership, adding that with the rise of quantum computing, organisations need to “gain visibility of their encrypted communications to deliver a plan for the post-quantum era.”
The VigilanceAI platform consists of two solutions, V-Comply and V-Detect. Colt will be integrating both solutions into its offering, enabling it to provide a thorough TLS attack surface review as part of the routine security hygiene service it offers its customers.
The collaboration is the latest to be announced as part of Colt’s ongoing digital transformation programme, focused on enhancing, simplifying and automating systems and processes which directly address customers’ business challenges, to boost Colt’s customer experience.
