This year, itrust consulting continued its sponsorship for HACK.LU 2017 (17/10 to 19/10) and BSides Luxembourg 2017 (20/10), where our IT Security expert Rémi Chipaux presented his project ‘malware hunting chatbot’ in Europe.

Towards real-time risk monitoring

On 17th October 2017, Lëtzebuerger Gemengen published an interview with Dr Carlo Harpes, founder and Managing Director of itrust consulting.

Risk analysis is a central approach in the cybersecurity environment; this is why itrust consulting has developed, in partnership with Luxmetering G.I.E., a real-time risk monitoring tool, that represents a technological evolution of its TRICK Service tool. Carlo Harpes, founder and Managing Director of itrust consulting, explains us the result of this three-year collaboration and the benefits of this new tool for companies.

This tool is the result of a cooperation with Luxmetering G.I.E., Creos Luxembourg S.A., and uni.lu and was co-funded by the Ministry of the Economy within the project 'Smart Grid Luxembourg - Cockpit'.

Scientific article in Revue Technique: itrust consulting and SnT team up in the bIoTope project

The bIoTope project’s aim is to create the conditions under which the Internet of Things (IoT) can become a true marketplace for the creation and consumption of innovative services within and across platforms and/or sectors. For this vision to be realised, IoT data must be easy to discover, understand and safely combine across typical vendor lock-in platforms (also referred to as “Vertical Silos"). It must also be possible to securely and fairly monetise any IoT-built service within this API economy marketplace. The role of itrust consulting as a partner within the bIoTope consortium is to provide guidance in the latter task.
