Introduce us to LuxTrust solutions
We provide digital trust services, which take advantage of electronic identities. Our first service as a certification authority is the issuance of electronic identities for natural and legal persons and objects, with the purpose of carrying out online transactions. These electronic identities are used in services such as electronic signatures, to secure exchanges on the network. Finally, we publish solutions that make it easy to implement all of this.
How does the digital boom create opportunities for hackers?
We are all doing more and more transactions online. Behind your computer, hackers can attack these transactions and users with minimal risk. These attacks allow information to be stolen, to usurp our identities, to extort money…
So, is there a greater need for security and guarantees?
Trust services, based on quality electronic identities, provide guarantees and a level of security to users and companies that use these services. The goal is to secure and authenticate exchanges, while ensuring that people are who they say they are. Today, a good part of the investments in cybersecurity go in this direction.
However, be aware of a paradox: we are aware of the value of our data, but in fact, we are content with poor security, and our data is still too easy to access. Too many passwords are weak and vulnerable to social engineering. Because there hasn’t been a big scandal yet. Despite the fact that Facebook has had information stolen from 500 million accounts, people have changed little in their habits. Unfortunately, it will take time and scandals for this to change.
Is it difficult for a company to establish trusted services and protect its transactions and customers?
They are generally transversal projects in a company, impacting various services and use cases. The complexity lies in the ability to deploy flexible solutions, adapting to business needs and not the other way around. It is also necessary to understand what solutions and services are being purchased, especially regarding the guarantees and security actually provided; we still see many low-end electronic signatures, which provide companies with little or no protection in the event of a dispute. The rise of business knowledge is increasing, but still too slowly. Our role as a trusted service provider is to help expedite all of this.
