Paradox solution launched by Becrypt

Homeland March 16, 2017

Becrypt, the leading cyber security specialist, has launched a new secure desktop solution.

The Paradox solution was unveiled this week at CYBERUK 2017, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)’s cyber security and IA event. Designed to provide an uncompromised combination of security, usability and efficiency, the Paradox solution will assist organisations moving to cloud, virtualised or web app environments.

The system has been developed by Becrypt, in conjunction with UK Government departments who are seeking a secure, virtual enterprise desktop solution, whilst reducing internal IT resource requirements.

Paradox aims to assist organisations, Government bodies and defence agencies that are facing sophisticated and persistent threats on their infrastructure with the most robust OS on their desktops, helping to reduce their cyber risks and attack surface.

The intuitive desktop interface is designed to provide a seamless experience for users at any location, while also simplifying management processes for administrators.

Paradox grants complete control of the data and devices accessible to suppliers, agencies and third parties, enabling administrators to unify security by applying standards and policies at scale. This makes it possible for organisations to ensure greater collaboration, have greater trust in third-party suppliers and support a remote workforce, by providing both a secure OS and web-browser that users can access virtually, and which leaves no digital footprint.

For in-house IT teams that are already facing the challenge of defending themselves with limited staff and cyber skills resource, Paradox’s intuitive, integrated and automated management capabilities reduces the time required to manage a multitude of devices and data by putting the organisation back in control, without impinging on the user experience.

Bernard Parsons, Co-founder and CEO of Becrypt, comments: “Paradox removes the common barriers, including high costs, depleting IT resource and poor usability, that have previously been associated with secure desktop solutions. Our defence-in-depth approach has been designed to not only help organisations reduce attacks, but also to simultaneously enable them to increase their ability to detect attacks and reduce the impact an attack could have on their business.”

He continues: “This is a significant innovation for UK organisations and departments that require a high level of security to protect their infrastructure and the data held within them, but can’t afford any operational implications that so often comes hand in hand with secure solutions. For too long there has been a conflict between security and usability when it comes to enterprise desktop offerings. We are currently seeing an important step change in cyber security resilience within the UK and, by working with UK Government as a continued, trusted supplier of encryption solutions, we are able to proactively address the challenges facing UK organisations head on and set the standard for future desktop security deployments.”
