FPG Technologies and Solutions Limited, Nigeria’s foremost IT Consulting, IT Security, Cloud, Mobile and Infrastructure solutions company has been announced as Gemalto Platinum Partner.

Gemalto is the global leader in digital security that focuses on two core technologies – Digital Identification and Data Protection. These solutions counter the two major targets of cyberattacks, identity theft and unencrypted data. As daily lifestyles become more digital and interaction with online services become frequent, there has been an exponential amount of personal data online. While this creates countless opportunities for service providers, it is also threatened by the growing number of data breaches.

Gemalto solutions are used by over 30,000 organisations to verify the identities of people and things, to allow access to services and to protect the growing amount of data these services generate.

With 35 research and software development centres and clients in 180 countries, Gemalto brings trust to the world’s digital transformation by giving data owners more control by combining Digital Identity and Data Protection across the entire digital service lifecycle.

CEO of FPG Technologies and Solutions Limited, Mr. Rex Mafiana said: ‘‘Protecting our customer’s Digital Identities and Data is a major priority in considering that these are the two major target of malicious cyber actors. Prevention around data theft is a challenge that faces all sectors of the economy and individuals.
