itrust consulting’s SECaaS addresses IT Security Outsourcing defined as top priority in the recently published statistical data on IT Outsourcing Statistics 2016/2017 by Computer Economics.
itrust consulting is successfully active in this domain for several years now, even before it has been identified as a market trend on the Information Security sector. Meanwhile itrust consulting is recognised by its private and public customers as reliable partner for Security Outsourcing, next to the other services offered, as Audit and Ethical Hacking, Malware Analysis, Research & Development Security Consultancy, Training and Awareness.
Ben Fetler presented a scientific paper entitled "Information Security Maturity as an Integral Part of ISMS based Risk Management Tools" (Authors: Ben Fetler, Carlo Harpes), during the tenth international conference on emerging security information, systems and technologies - SECURWARE 2016 in Nice, France.

itrust consulting is proud to announce that the project DIAMONDS, co-funded by the Ministry of Economy and coordinated by Fraunhofer FOKUS, Berlin, has received the EUREKA Innovation award 2015/2016 for added value. The 300k€ investment at itrust consulting allowed us to create a pentesting platform TRICK tester, a reverse engineering open-source tool called malwasm, the portal avcaesar.malware.lu sharing information on malware, a maturity model for risk assessment and treatment, etc. It finally helps to set up the first private CERT in Luxembourg, malware.lu CERT, and offers pentesting services, which creates essential added value for itrust consulting.
itrust consulting actively participates in the debates on the ISO security standardisation ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27.
Please register to make a presentation on our industrial Workshop ADaCoR. See Letzebuerger Gemengen's article and the flyer below for additional details.
Carlo Harpes, managing director of itrust consulting, assisted to the kick-off meeting of bIoTope, an EU funded H2020 project. itrust consulting is involved to specify and develop security services for the Internet of Things (IoT), together with the University of Luxembourg and other partners. In particular, itrust consulting will support SmartCity and SmartHome pilots in Brussel, Lyon and Helsinki.
itrust consulting's team wishes you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2016!
Sending our greetings by e-mail allows us to donate our end-of-year budget for presents and paper-based greeting cards to the following organisations instead:
On invitation by the Lycée Ermesinde in Mersch, C. Harpes participated to a brainstorming together with teachers and students, on the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the expectation of the sector toward the school system.
For C. Harpes, the ICT sector offers more opportunities than just programming. The use of ICT and new media should be part of any school subject, particularly languages. Basic concepts like firewalls, geolocation, cloud, software installation, and protection of personal data should already be taught to the youngest pupils at secondary schools, as a large majority of our population uses such technologies without fully understanding them or even roughly knowing the related risks and opportunities.
Finally, the very open discussion highlighted that the essential skill required in this sector is the motivation and perseverance in problem solving. Wrongly considered as a predominantly male occupation, the increasing requirement for excellent communication skills should make this sector equally attractive for female candidates.
For another consecutive year itrust consulting sponsored Hack.lu and had a speaker at the event. Maxime Morin held the Workshop: Radare2 - a framework for reverse engineering.
