As usual, the Cryptosense team will be in San Francisco around the RSA conference. We’ll be holding private meetings in a facility 5 minutes walk from the conference venue.
What you’ll get in the meeting: the latest crypto security news, demos of how our software can identify all the crypto in your infrastructure, find and fix vulnerabilities, and help you with secure migration to cloud crypto services.
Cryptosense is delighted to announce that we have received funding from BPI France (the Banque Publique d’Investissement) for an exciting new project.
After a competitive selection process, our project was one of 68 selected for funding from a pool of 252 entrants to the 7th edition of BPI France’s Digital Innovation Competition.
Cryptosense will be exhibiting at the RSA conference in San Francisco this year. We’ll at booth #2 in the Early Stage Expo along with 39 other security startups.
We’ll be running a new training here at our offices in central Paris in December covering crypto flaws in applications.
Mention crypto flaws to many people and they will think of deprecated algorithms that pose a marginal risk, but crypto bugs in applications can lead directly to things like remote code execution, compromise of credentials and loss of data. We’ll show how this happens and how to avoid it. The training will include some examples of real flaws we’ve found recently using our Analyzer software.
Go to the event page to find the syllabus and how to sign up.
PrimeKey Solutions develops and supports the most downloaded open source enterprise public-key infrastructure (PKI) software available, EJBCA. You can find out why they use Cryptosense Analyzer for Java in a case study we’re releasing today.
We already use a variety of tools to ensure software quality, but we see security as an area of continuous improvement, and Cryptosense tools give us a cryptography-focused view that other tools can’t provide. A strong statement in itself, given the fact that PrimeKey’s teams of engineers work day in and day out with cryptography.

We’re delighted to announce we’re the winners of this year’s “Prix De l’Innovation”, a security start-up prize awarded by Le Cercle, an association of French CISOs and consultants.

We were shortlisted on the basis our our written submission, then took part in the pitch competition last Thursday evening in Paris. The prize is a booth at the annual “Assises de la Sécurité” show in Monaco in October, France’s largest security trade show and conference.
If you’re coming too, let us know, we would be delighted to give you a personal demo of our tools for finding and fixing weaknesses in cryptography use by applications and infrastructure.
We’re delighted to announce that Richard Horne is joining our advisory board today. Richard brings a wealth of experience in information security and complements our existing line-up of mentors and advisors.
You can read all about it in our press release, but here are a couple of quotes:
Cryptography is an increasingly critical area for security and many organisations are unknowingly exposed by vulnerable implementations of cryptography buried in their applications and infrastructure. Cryptosense has a unique capability to find crypto vulnerabilities and enable organisations to protect themselves against modern threats that increasingly target those vulnerabilities. It’s a pleasure to help the founders shape the product to have maximum impact.
– Richard Horne
We’re delighted to welcome Richard Horne to our advisory board. He is an authority on current information security issues, and his deep experience will help us make sure our crypto vulnerability discovery products meet and exceed their users expectations.
– Cryptosense co-founder and CEO Graham Steel

Cryptosense will be at the RSA Conference in San Francisco February 29-March 4. We’ll have a stand on the PKCS#11 booth (South Expo #821) where we’ll be running demos of our Security Tools. Find out how we detect vulnerabilities in PKCS#11 HSM configurations with our smart fuzzing tools and then apply them to the keys your application uses to check their security in the event of a breach.
We’ll also run demos of our Java Crypto Analyzer and we’ll have a special announcement about our Crypto Service Discovery tool on March 1st. To schedule a private meeting, get in touch.
We’ll be in Lille next week (25th-26th January) at the International Cybersecurity Forum. Come and visit Cryptosense at booth F12 for a live demo of the Java App Tracer or the PKCS#11 Suite, or just a chat about the latest results in crypto security. You can also get in touch to schedule 1-1 time.
Cryptosense will also feature in the start-up pitch session on Tuesday 26th between 12 and 2pm in the “Goya” room.
After 2 days of intense competition, Cryptosense has been chosen as one of 3 Regional Finalists to go through to the UBS Future of Finance Global Finals to be held in Zurich in December 2015. Cryptosense are competing in the Secure Banking Challenge.
Whatever the future of finance is, it will be built on cryptography. Get in touch with Cryptosense to find out more.
