Is the issue of identity management well understood by companies?
Generally speaking, this is a topic well understood by companies. In addition, as a result of Covid-19, the requests that reach us are more and more precise.
What are these requests from your customers?
GlobalSign’s core business is the issuance of integrated, scalable and automated digital certificate solutions. We deliver identities in different media to: secure websites (SSL certificate), sign emails, documents, codes, etc. We are currently receiving many requests for IoT (Internet of Things) projects. In this case, it is about ensuring that the transaction is well encrypted and secure.
Does the migration of IT systems to the Cloud make your missions more complex?
This changes the subject a bit. You must be able to access the cloud securely. And depending on the context the client is in, this can be relatively complex. But they are requests that we know how to respond to. The same, if we talk about electronic wallet. Especially since this support should be accelerated throughout Europe through the EU Digital ID (a European digital wallet project that will make it possible to create identity documents and secure confidential documents from a smartphone) and eIDAS 2, a regulation that aims to connect digitally to public services and across borders
Consequently, the question of “privacy” arises…
At the level of the certificates we issue, this is a matter that we deal with. So it is natively integrated into our solutions as we have to comply with regulations.
What are your main projects for 2023?
We are going to concentrate our efforts to comply with the requirements set by the new regulations, particularly the European ones. I am thinking in particular of the electronic wallets that we have just discussed. Issues related to electronic invoicing are also among some topics to explore. Finally, security at the level of the Internet of Things, the cloud, emails, the digital signature are also part of the important issues of the year 2023.
In this highly topical context, what is your innovation policy?
We closely follow market trends and technological developments such as Quantum Computing, AI (Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain evolution, etc.) in order to be able to respond to expressed requests. This obviously puts innovation needs to the fore. GlobalSign should consider the relevance of future technologies before embarking on new developments. GlobalSign is a globally recognized certification authority. We are present in Europe, North and South America, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Africa. Therefore, we have to keep forward this time that characterizes us.
