According to Rex Mafiana CEO of FPG Technologies & Solutions Limited ‘’ In these turbulent times, organisations need to keep their business innovative, flexible, and fast, which requires the right technology.FPG is built on solid principles and unprecedented customer focus. Our vision is to enable our customers achieve extreme business agility with confidence. We provide organisations with solutions that help them get to market faster, respond to industry changes faster as well as provide them the additional technology that gives confidence to do this by ensuring that while these organizations are innovating they stay secure from internal and external threats or criminal activities’’

‘’Research shows a positive connection between the use of cloud computing, increased business agility and competitive advantage. In addition, the enterprise Mobility market is growing exponentially; Mobility solutions enhance productivity and organisations want their staff and customers to be truly mobile with work and services regardless of the time or their location. This interplay of cloud and mobility and the dependence on the internet and other e-channels, makes IT security a serious priority.And this is another value that FPG brings to the table. As one the foremost indigenous IT Security Companies, FPG has the ability to provide end to end IT Security solutions and services for organisations’’

‘’Today’s information systems are more globally integrated than ever before—and attacks are increasingly sophisticated. Organizations with traditionally stringent data protection requirements find that the old method of keeping systems in silos work against the agility that this interconnectivity provides and as such now demand a broader range of high assurance solutions to safeguard complex business processes and applications.

On the need for proper Data Security, Cryptography comes to the rescue. Cryptography protects data effectively only if keys are secure and well managed. Cryptographic keys are a critical component of an organization’s ability to protect data from malicious attack while ensuring that the data is ready for use when needed. With unparalleled expertise in cryptographic key management, Thales provides solutions that manages keys efficiently and effectively to improve security, performance, and business continuity. Thales delivers innovative data protection products and services based on the most advanced technology and security best practices while maximizing operational efficiency, business continuity, and long-term scalability’’ says Rex Mafiana.
