SAN FRANCISCO, California, April 17, 2018 – Five British cyber security companies will showcase their ground-breaking products and services to the US market at the RSA Conference in San Francisco on April 16-20, 2018.
The companies will demonstrate their innovative solutions in a broad range of cyber security requirements – such as the protection of critical assets and infrastructure, prevention and detection of cybercrime, as well as their commitment to cutting-edge research – at the UK Pavilion and through a series of ancillary events, with the support of the UK’s Department for International Trade (DIT). The companies look to develop close partnerships and forge lasting relationships that will support the US cyber security sector in its aims of securing the safety of the nation.
- Armour Communications will show a new Message Burn capability for Armour Mobile, which gives users the ability to set a burn time for particularly sensitive messages.
- Bob’s Business will demonstrate its specialty in developing and delivering information security awareness campaigns.
- iProov will demonstrate its new HTML5, no-app mobile web solution, which won the Best of Show Award at Finovate Europe.
- Garrison will showcase its unique Silicon Assured Video Isolation technology, which provides a game-changing platform for secure remote browsing.
- MetaCompliance will showcase its platform, which has the highest-quality cyber security and compliance e-learning content available on the market.
DIT will also partner with British Secure Mobile Gateway company Wandera to host a night focused on UK cyber excellence. The evening will feature Jane Frankland, a UK cyber security expert and author of the book IN Security, about why women in cyber security should be the standard and not the exception. She will remark on her 20+ years in the industry and host an exclusive book signing.
The UK’s cyber security industry, worth $31 billion and growing at a rate of 10% per year, is respected across the globe for its expertise, breadth of capabilities, and world-class advice, products and services.
Last month, DIT’s Secretary of State Dr. Liam Fox launched a new Cyber Security Export Strategy to promote the UK’s world-leading expertise and to strengthen defense capabilities in the UK and allied countries. Composed of approximately 800 innovative companies, the UK cyber sector currently exports $2.1 billion worth of technology and services per year, a number anticipated to grow in line with the overall global spend on cyber security products, expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2021. This new cyber security export strategy supports the ongoing work of the 2016 National Cyber Security Strategy, which invested in the cyber security industry to ensure the UK is secure, resilient to cyber threats, prosperous, and confident in the digital world.
Andrew Whittaker, Her Majesty’s Consul General to San Francisco, said:
“The UK government’s commitment to cyber security is clear. Our world-leading National Cyber Security Centre is now 18 months old and doing excellent work as the authoritative voice on information security in the UK, and the recently published Cyber Security Export strategy will help support British firms in overseas markets. The government’s $2.7 billion investment in its National Cyber Security Strategy will ensure that the UK continues to lead the development of cyber security capability across the world, and the five companies at RSA next week are fantastic exemplars of British excellence in this field.“
