Usecrypt Messenger offers a fast, simple
and fully secured way to make calls,
send text-based messages and share
files. Data is not stored on Usecrypt’s
server, which makes messages and
call logs impossible to restore once
the user permanently deletes them.
Usecrypt offers secure messaging,
crystal-clear domestic and international
calling capabilities and gives full at-rest
and in-use protection with IP address
anonymity for iOS and Android users.
The company uses a patented method
of encrypting digital data, Hybrid Virtual
Key Management (HVKM), in which one
unique half of the user’s encryption
key is stored on their device and the
other half stored on the Usecrypt
server. In addition to HVKM, Usecrypt
has additional layers of protection that
ensure the highest security for its users.
Usecrypt has experienced rapid
user-base growth in 17 countries and
Usecrypt Messenger recently ranked as
the top paid social networking app in
Poland on Apple’s App Store.
It is also available from Google Play, for
Android devices, with a monthly per-user
subscription cost of US$14.49.

HELP AG HIGHLIGHTS SMART
APPROACH TO CYBERSECURITY
n a bid to empower Middle
East enterprises to enhance
their cybersecurity posture
while reducing IT complexity and
management overheads, Help AG has
demonstrated the SMART approach to
Cybersecurity at its Security Spotlight
Forum (SSF).
I
At the events, Help AG’s white hat
hackers conducted a live hacking
session on the latest trend of
fileless attacks, demonstrating how
technologies such as steganography
and undetectable encoding tools are
proving difficult to detect even for next-
generation endpoint security solutions.
“2018 has truly been a year wherein
cybersecurity has taken centre stage
for every organisation, irrespective of
size and industry vertical. Businesses’
dependence on IT has only deepened
while the threat landscape continues to
scale at an alarming pace,” explained
Stephan Berner, CEO at Help AG.
“Given that the growth in budgets
and resources has far from kept pace
with the increasing demands on IT,
cybersecurity professionals must adopt
a SMART approach.”
The half-day SSF events – which
were held in Dubai and Abu Dhabi –
were kicked-off with an in-depth look
at the technologies and processes
implemented by the managed security
services (MSS) team in Help AG’s Cyber
Security Operations Centre (CSOC).
