Colt Technology Services, a significant player in digital infrastructure, has partnered with Venari Security, a cybersecurity firm based in London, to offer organizations better visibility into their encrypted network traffic.



This move will not only strengthen cybersecurity but also help meet increasingly complex regulatory requirements. The strategic alliance involves integrating Venari Security's Encrypted Traffic Analysis (ETA) platform, VigilanceAI, into Colt's service suite. This platform would provide an innovative perspective on the active use of encryption across enterprise operations, including cloud, regulated, and third-party environments. Colt customers can maintain strict encryption standards while ensuring data privacy during transit, resulting in a lower risk exposure and a smaller potential attack surface.

Venari Security's VigilanceAI platform aims to address the encrypted communications challenge faced by regulated industries and global organizations. With recent changes in regulatory and privacy laws, encrypting data in transit has become a necessity. Hiten Mistry, Chief Revenue Officer at Venari Security, emphasized the financial penalties and reputational damage that organizations could face for non-compliance.

He also pointed out the need for organizations to prepare for a post-quantum era due to the rise of quantum computing. Overall, this partnership marks another milestone in Colt's continuous digital transformation program, aiming to enhance, simplify and automate systems and processes that directly address customers' business challenges and improve their industry-leading customer experience.
