It’s 2024, and AI over-hype is going down really fast with executives finally starting to understand that AI is the solution for many of their business needs. But many don’t understand the potential risks of AI mismanagement or exploitation. Many executives don’t know AI can pose a monetary risk to their organization.

If you think AI can only help you make more money and its exploitation will not affect your business and confidential organizational data, then think again, because AI can mimic your voice, facial features, handwriting style, and other behaviors. AI can be used by scammers to trick you or worse, breach your organization’s confidential data. On 4th February 2024, a Hong Kong organization worker handed out $25 million to scammers who conference-called him with 4 of his colleagues and ordered him to remit this huge amount of money. 

As it turned out, the 4 colleagues were all deep fakes created with publicly available footage and the real 4 colleagues did not know that. The deep fakes were so real that the worker did not doubt any of them. And that is how strong, and powerful AI has become that you can’t distinguish between real and fake.

As a leading provider of secure document and product protection solutions, NanoMatriX is committed to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality when handling our customers’ sensitive data and procedures. We at NanoMatriX, understand the huge risks AI exploitation brings for any business. That’s why we always strive to provide the most cyber-secure, data privacy-protected AI solutions that can handle large amounts of confidential and mission-critical sensitive data provided by governments, businesses, and organizations. 

But being all talk and no action is not the way of doing business for us. Many businesses say, “We are the most cyber secure and data privacy protected”, so what makes them and us different? We have taken proactive steps to implement best-in-class information management security and privacy management information systems for our company and the cloud-hosted solutions we provide.

After taking proactive implementation steps, we completed the audit for four cyber-security and data-privacy-related ISO standards in December 2023. Leading to the audit, NanoMatriX developed and implemented about 150 physical and digital security controls that are uniquely designed to mitigate or eliminate risks associated with the company’s core business in the Design, Development, Testing, Deployment, Customer Support, and Hosting of Secure Authentication Products and Software Solutions Backed by AI, Blockchain, and IoT.

We are proud to announce that NanoMatriX finally received cyber-security and data privacy protection standard certificates in February of 2024. With these standard certificates at our disposal, we are poised to serve our rapidly expanding customer base with state-of-the-art document and product protection solutions that incorporate cyber security and data privacy protection.

“In an age where data security is paramount, standardized certifications provide businesses with the assurance and peace of mind they need when managing sensitive information,” said Alfons Futterer, Managing Director of NanoMatriX Technologies Limited. “These certifications exemplify the high level of cyber-security and data protection NanoMatriX offers to its customers.”

The certifications were formally handed over during a visit to our office by esteemed representatives from TÜV SÜD.

Jimmy Zhou, Senior Manager, Business Assurance, Management Service, in TÜV SÜD Southern China, and Mr. Jason Cai, Sales Manager from TÜV SÜD Certification and Testing (China) Co., Ltd., were among the honorable guests who visited our office in Hong Kong. They were joined by Ms. Lydia Kwan, Senior Specialist, Sales, from TÜV SÜD Hong Kong Limited.

“Safeguarding data is important, and standardized certifications offer businesses confidence and reassurance that their confidential data is in safe hands,” stated Jimmy Zhou, representing the Management Service Department, Southern Region China at TÜV SÜD Certification and Testing. “The ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 certifications signify the dedication of NanoMatriX Technologies Limited in delivering enterprise-grade cybersecurity and data privacy protected solutions to businesses.”
