When you need to make a 999 call, every second counts. And that can be a serious problem for the UK’s 11 million deaf and hard of hearing people, or those facing stressful situations, who may struggle to communicate verbally over the phone.

This is where clear non-verbal communication can save lives – and why TapSOS LTD has TapSOS, an innovative smartphone app that gets help without users making a sound.

The easy-to-use technology has the potential to revolutionise the emergency services network and enable more people to make a life-saving connection.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”31896″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”single-page”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Uleska

At Uleska we are working to innovate and build solutions that makes software security accessible to every software team.  In the world of software development, security is too often seen as an audit or compliance function.  Something to be handled by a separate, specialized, team towards the end of a project.

Based on our experience as coders, instead of auditors, our team at Uleska are developing disruptive ways to empower software teams to cover security.  Products and services that work with the software teams to proactively insert security features as software is being developed, not as an afterthought.

As an industry we already know how to solve every software security issue that hackers exploit.  We also know that it’s impossible for skilled coders and testers to be aware of the hundreds of software security issues that professional organizations such as OWASP, CERT, and others track.  Nor can we all be aware of the weekly changes to those security issues at attacks.

However we do know that with the right tooling and proactive assistance, we can empower software teams to produce fully compliant and secure software.  Software that doesn’t require wasted weeks or months after security testing to recode for security.  When we achieve this, through combining the latest devops practices with security, often termed as devsecops, then we make security compliance an automatic, and energetic part of any software project.

Drawing on our experiences within financial enterprises, we also know that software security is not only about deeply technical software issues.  Many times it can be about ensuring data handling meets our industries, often changing, information security regulations and best practices.  This is why we work to produce proactive security products that are as agile as our current software development practices, allowing security tools to be enables, instead of restrictions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”31897″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
