Combating Cyber Malice with Ultimate Zero-Trust Security

As more and more companies have started adopting remote working policies and cloud-based services in the wake of the social distancing norms brought about by the ongoing pandemic, the probability of companies getting exposed to multiple cybersecurity risks due to complicated connections between devices becomes higher. Moreover, in the case of remote work, more applications are accessible remotely, and traditional security controls end up having limited effectiveness, making it easier to exploit potential application vulnerabilities. Amid this backdrop, with an aim to eliminate cyber malice in an increasingly digitally connected world, Taiwan-based Chelpis is providing zero-trust information security solutions for major cybersecurity risks in a post-quantum era. Founded in 2017 with members from the most representative cryptography laboratory of National Taiwan University, the cryptographic system designed by the team has captured multiple global NIST post-quantum cryptographic standards to steer the world towards a more digitally secured future.

Having gained expertise in multiple post-quantum cryptography standards, the company is also one of the very few in Asia that can simultaneously integrate blockchain, cryptocurrency, secure chip design, confidential computing, and end-to-end encryption—all to ensure maximum security at all times. So being an organization that is fuelled by an urge to protect the digital environment at any cost, Chelpis has created AORTA Decentralized Transfer Authentication and Encryption Solution. It helps customers create a protection mechanism by leveraging software-defined perimeter protection. Adjacently, AORTA’s end-to-end secure tunnel provides better transmission performance than VPN, prevents lateral network movement of viruses, and solves network traffic limitations.

Alongside, through ChelpisSecID, the company offers Universal 2nd Factor(U2F), an open authentication standard that enables internet users to securely access any number of online services with one single security key instantly without necessitating the need for drivers or client software.

In parallel with SecID, the company is also providing Kevin Wallet, which is currently deemed as the most secure cold wallet. Led by a thorough evaluation and extensive research, Chelpis has successfully implemented quantum-safe cryptosystems in Kevin Wallet to achieve a higher level of security than ever before. It comes with a quantum-safe operating system that guarantees long-term security. Furthermore, private keys never leave the device and are protected by a CC EAL5+ security control, along with sophisticated countermeasures against various kinds of physical attacks as well.

Looking back on 2020, Chelpis has realized that while employees are returning to work in the aftermath of the pandemic, most companies will consider gradual methods for employees to return to the company to work, such as taking alternative shifts and off-site offices. Concurrently, there would be other companies directly adopting satellite offices to replace the traditional workspaces. In lieu of these developments, Chelpis believes that shared offices have an excellent opportunity to recruit members during the slowdown of the epidemic. Based on this realization, Chelpis’ Podrick Business Space Management Platform has become one of the best assistants for space operators in times of a global health crisis, assisting customers in solving access control, rental, charging, and other problems in an intelligent manner. Under this unmanned operation model, in addition to helping the venues save a lot of manpower costs, the Podrick Business Space Management Platform also reduces the chance of contact between personnel and effectively ensures the social distancing norms issued worldwide.

Building on its strengths, Chelpis plans to further expand its capabilities in the near future, underlined by a want to continue protecting all value transfers in an increasingly interconnected world. With its suite of industry-leading solutions, the company is highly confident to let people and organizations operate smoothly in a hassle-free security environment while providing a better information security experience for all.
