WISeKey and ARHT Media Team Up for the First Ever Trusted HoloPresence Investor Meeting to Be Held at The NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square in NYC on November 17
Eliminating the need for physical contact and long-distance travel, Trusted HoloPresence meetings will reduce environmental impact and allow for social distancing to stop the spread of COVID-19.
GENEVA, NEW YORK & TORONTO, September 1, 2020 -- WISeKey International Holding Ltd ("WISeKey," SIX: WIHN / Nasdaq: WKEY), a leading cybersecurity and IoT company and ARHT Media Inc. ("ARHT" or "the Company") (TSXV:ART), a global leader in the development, production and distribution of high-quality, low latency hologram and digital content for online and in-person communication, today announced a partnership where WISeKey will provide third-party authentication and additional security services to further secure transmissions conducted via ARHT's HoloPresence technology used by the financial services sector and other industries to conduct remote meetings where presenters appear as holograms.
The launch of this partnership will be at an investor meeting that will be held at the NASDAQ headquarters in Times Square in New York City on November 17, 2020 – the first of its kind in the world.
WISeKey and ARHT are delighted to be integrating their technologies to make HoloPresence transmissions even more secure, while also helping to eliminate the need for physical contact during business gatherings, an essential aspect of stopping the spread of COVID-19 during this global pandemic, as well as reducing an organization's carbon footprint and increasing their efficiency by minimizing air travel for busy executives.
With many organizations, especially in the financial services sector, having strict requirements for KYC authentication and strict data security, this collaboration is a gamechanger that will help them ensure compliance while using HoloPresence to conduct important organizational and investor meetings.
To authenticate users that are using HoloPresence, WISeKey has integrated its MyWISeID digital signature and strong authentication capability into the end-to-end encryption channels in ARHT's HoloPresence technology, which is powered by their transmission software the ARHT Engine. By adding the ability to verify digital identities, users will be able to communicate securely to submit their vote remotely, conduct financial transactions, access health consultations and much more.
"WISeID combined with ARHT's transmission software, the ARHT Engine, helps remove any barriers related to security and makes it easy and affordable for companies and individuals to further secure their interactions when appearing as holograms," stated Carlos Moreira, CEO and Founder of WISeKey. "This partnership creates a great synergy that puts our authentication solution alongside a company that is pioneering the future of communication while also ensuring greater security and compliance for ARHT's HoloPresence technology, which will make the solution even more appealing to many clients."
"We are thrilled to be partnering with WISeKey to further enhance security options for our clients and broaden the potential markets for our online Virtual Global Stage and in-person HoloPresence engagements," stated ARHT’s CEO Larry O'Reilly. "WISeKey's software will integrate seamlessly with our ARHT Engine software to enhance communication globally."
