| Chelsfield
Announce NEW Consultancy
to assist firms move
to the cloud |
|
| For
many years the core
business of
Chelsfield Solutions
has been to design
custom engineered
solutions for
organisations with
specific needs.
However, undertaking
this
enormously-varied
work has exposed
another general need
for today's
world. |
|
| Chelsfield
have therefore set
up a new
consultancy,
imaginatively called
Chelsfield
Consultants to
assist organisations
take advantage of
the rapidly growing
number of service
providers that offer
a bewildering array
of hosted services. Surprisingly,
not only SME's but
many corporate
organisations have
totally erroneous beliefs
about what the cloud
is, and jump
straight in taking
the advice from
service
providers. |
|
| It
has been found that
firms both large and
small don't really
understand the
advantages, and tend
towards a utopian
view. In contrast
many also are
oblivious to the
pitfalls especially
over security, accessibility
and ownership of key
data. Chelsfield
Consultants offer
truly impartial
management of
projects large and
small. |

| Chelsfield Introduce Latest Version Of It's Stream Cipher Library |
|
| The continuing news concerning the lack of data security by some UK government departments (including the MOD) has once again prompted Chelsfield to make available the latest version of its encryption library to third party software vendors. |
|
As a consequence, these Chelsfield routines are being used by many blue chip corporate organisations, both in the UK and aboard. The library features a proprietary one way key hash and polymorphic transformation techniques making it a very strong stream cipher that's fast enough to be used on-the-fly in most applications. The code is less than 140k bytes, is self contained and does not rely on the Windows
API.

|
| Chelsfield now looking
to development an easy to use Security Awareness Programs for Banking Staff. |
|
| Any
security system
complex or simple is
only effective if
the staff operating
the system are
diligent. Chelsfield
recognises the need
for effective
training and
continued reminders
to help staff remain aware of
security
requirements. |
|
| Having been approached by a major bank, Chelsfield are currently looking at the specification of a simple-to-use Security Awareness Training Program with a
graphics rich GUI that all members of staff can complete in
around twenty minutes. The system can be tailored to train staff in any organisation to do their part in order to keep company equipment, premises and key information safe. |

Access Control
System Available
Second Quarter 2010 |
|
| Chelsfield
Solutions software
for public access
control is scheduled
for initial testing
and trial during the
second quarter 2010.
The system is aimed
at two main markets
the first being an
inexpensive
"Front of
House" system
aimed at SME's and
the second is to
provide a lower cost
offering for firms
needing higher
security for its
personnel and
on-site contractors. |
|
|
To
begin with the new
system will accept
most standard
peripherals such as
cameras, card and
barcode readers.
Later, an ever wider
range of physical
barrier access
devices is expected
to be added to the
catalogue. Currently
Chelsfield is in
negotiation with two
London based
organisations for
potential exclusive
distribution rights
to VAR's |

| The
Need for Encryption
- Is the Penny
Finally Dropping? |
|
| UK
Government
departments and
corporate industry
are still failing to
apply adequate
standards for data
security. Details of
nearly 100 cases of
data breaches, two
thirds committed by
government
departments or other
public sector bodies
have been passed to
the authorities,
said Richard Thomas
the UK Information
Commissioner. |
|
| Chelsfield
security systems can
work in the
background, this
overcomes the
essential problem
which is that staff
are mostly unaware
of how sensitive
data can leak out,
or what needs to be
done to prevent it.
Education is also a
key factor,
inadequate security
management and
awareness of how
personal information
can be used to forge
authentication to
provide illegal
access to sensitive
data is also lacking |
|
| A
new chairman of the
Information
Commission,
Christopher Graham,
was appointed in
June of this year.
Since then it all
seems a bit quiet.
Is the penny finally
dropping? - we don't
think so! |

Encryption Class

|
| Chelsfield
Encryption Library
components have been
in use since 2001 by
many organisations
both large and
small, however,
these have been sold
as part of bundled
packages from third
party software
vendors. Now
though, a new
initiative has been
launched to make the
encryption class
library accessible
directly to
programmers at a low
cost. |
|
| Encryption
Class library (ECL)
components are now
available
through the large
distribution houses
such as CNET and
Microsoft
Marketplace but are
not sold through by
Chelsfield directly,
unless connected to
a specific
development
application.
Chelsfield offers
direct technical
support and free
support is included
for the first year
together with any
updates as soon as
these are available |
