Barclays to stress test ReSecure at its Rise Lab facility

ReSec Technologies, developer of innovative enterprise-grade solutions to prevent malware penetration of networks, endpoints, and data centres, announced its ReSecure platform was selected by Barclays, an international banking and financial services provider, for cybersecurity testing in its Rise innovation lab.

The Rise benchmark will test ReSecure’s ability to prevent both known and unknown malware from entering the Barclays network via email. ReSecure is designed to stop cyber threats emanating from content-based malware and uses ReSec’s patented Content Disarm and Reconstruction technology to deliver threat-free content to end users. This process preserves functionality within the network and provides uninterrupted workflow to users. The ReSecure platform can provide 360-degree prevention for email, web, devices and file transfer content.

“Barclays is a globally trusted brand and we are thrilled to show them the powerful prevention against all threats, which our ReSecure Platform and CDR technology provides,” said Dotan Bar Noy, CEO and Co-founder of ReSec.

Rise was launched by Barclays in 2016 to translate emerging technologies into what could be the future of financial services and tap into the regions hotbed of innovation. Barclays recently added cybersecurity technology testing to Rise, and ReSec is one of the first companies to participate.

As an organisation with a history of technological firsts, Barclays is excited by the transformations currently taking place in finance, technology and business.
