About Us
In just 5 years, OpenTrust has become European Leader in trust infrastructures for secure electronic transactions. Its OpenTrust Customers' Club (C3I), where development is decided & shared with members, now counts over 100 international corporations and Public Administrations.
Background:
IT system security has, for too long, been unnecessarily complicated, hard to implement, and costly.
In today’s world, where e-business is flourishing and where the number and variety of threats to information systems is constantly multiplying, the securing of transactions and data is critical to any business strategy and can no longer be considered optional.
Our Objective:
OpenTrust provides the market with e-security solutions, designed for large scale deployment, that are both easy to implement and provide short-term return on investment. To be truly efficient, security must be globally deployed throughout the whole enterprise rather than just to a handful of users.
Alex Fletcher from the Open Source Analyst Entiva Group states:
"OpenTrust is an open, modular platform for integrating trust into a global infrastructure using a standardized-based approach. Most of the Global 1000 are already hip to the futility of the 'silo' approach to securing business application and services. Plus, the push towards Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) driven methodologies has exposed the need to integrate and expose security functions to a potentially indeterminate number of components. In essence, the next generation of IT architecture will implicitly require better, more flexible and open platforms /by default/.
Trusted computing, in and of itself, is a beast of a topic that touches a lot of hot button issues surrounding identity fraud, streamlined authentication, etc. Especially, as global organizations have come to understand the necessity of more inclusive, open business processes and approaches they are faced with the Herculean task of ensuring the various levels of trust using multiple and oftentimes redundant security tools. The robust nature of doing so has created a ripe market for open, standards based technology. Closed product suites from vendors which claim to provide /everything/ to /everybody, /most often prove too inflexible and expensive to scale to enterprise level requirements."
