Vladimir Cizelj and VLATACOM Solutions: New Technology Leaders in ICT Security

The emergence of new technologies is no longer a rare phenomenon. We see the development of new solutions almost daily, particularly in the information and communication technology (ICT) security sector. It would be right to say that the competition in the field is fierce. However, certain companies and individuals like Vladimir Cizelj, PhD, and Vlatacom are always at the forefront of development. Their work focuses on creating ICT security solutions that are able to keep up with the changes at the high pace of technological progress.

How do they support companies and government agencies in their growth as cybersecurity leaders? By being technology leaders and the go-to technology providers.

Here are some of the most important points.

The Field of ICT Security

The development in ICT security has been driven by two main factors. The first is the desire to embrace the digital revolution and its numerous advantages while keeping assets safe and secure. On the other hand, the second one is defending the very same infrastructure and critical information from cyber attacks. What is more, this exponential pace of technological growth has made malicious activities like crime and terrorism more sophisticated. Therefore, the same, if not, even more efforts are invested into maintaining the safety of digital systems.

Furthermore, governments, organizations, and all-size businesses have long realized the importance of digitalization as part of progress and remaining competitive. As their operations are not essentially focused on technological development, they turn to technology providers. Professionals like Vladimir Cizelj provide them with solutions that can achieve these goals efficiently.

Before seeing what some of these technologies are and what they can do, let’s find out more about these technology leaders.

Vladimir Cizelj and Vlatacom Institute

Vladimir Cizelj, PhD, is the founder of Vlatacom Institute, the first privately owned research and development in ICT. The Institute was originally founded in 1997 as a private company that represented and integrated Motorola systems in Serbia. Thanks to their professionalism and dedication to business excellence, Vladimir Cizelj and his team started being recognized as top-performing experts.

After 14 years of continuous innovation, Vlatacom was first certified as an R&D center by the Ministry of Science in Serbia. This milestone was followed by an even more important event. In 2015, this institution led by Vladimir Cizelj became the first private ICT institute in Serbia.

Throughout the years, the work of more than 150 experts has distinguished Vlatacom and its ICT solutions and won them awards on both national and international levels. Today, Vladimir Cizelj, PhD, and Vlatacom are recognized worldwide as a professional partner for ICT security from Serbia.

Vlatacom ICT Solutions

The foundations of any ICT security systems lie in Vlatacom’s National Crypto Center (NCC). This represents the core of cybersecurity at any level, state or corporate. In other words, NCC is the start and finish of all ICT security-related activities. Starting from the generation of cryptographic keys and their distribution, control and exchange of information, management and authentication of digital identities and devices to secure machine to machine communication and secure e-government services.

With regard to cryptographic keys, Vlatacom’s True Random Number Generator (vTRNG) is the NCC’s key component. It is a natural process-based long binary random sequence generator for establishing a subsystem for state-level cryptographic key generation.

For the distribution of the keys, there is the Vlatacom Key Distribution System (vKDS). This robust terminal with tamper-proof encrypted memory is used for the transfer of keys between the NCC to cryptographic end-devices worldwide usually performed by crypto officers.

In addition, to provide secure communication channels for crypto officers and other high-stake individuals and government officials, Vlatacom developed two devices. Vlatacom’s Personal Crypto Platform (vPCP-V) is a mobile phone-like device for voice encryption in any public, mobile, or landline voice and text communication system. Additionally, Vlatacom’s Personal Crypto Platform for File encryption and Cloud collaboration (vPCP-FC) meets the requirements for secure file exchange via cloud storage services or e-mail through channels like public internet connections.

Lastly, for encryption of high-capacity digital systems such as fiber optic networks, digital radio relay devices, and lower capacity inverse multiplexing systems, there is Vlatacom’s Reliable Communication Channel (vREBECCA). This device enables bulk mode encryption for router connections via leased fiber optic cables.

Each of these devices is critical for the integrity of an ICT system. That is why Vlatacom provides continuous support to its clients after every successful integration.

To sum up

To be ahead of the competition and malicious actors, governments and businesses alike have to adopt digital technologies. An essential and critical step in any digitization is the implementation of proper ICT security measures and infrastructure. For those reasons, partnerships with technology leaders like Vladimir Cizelj and Vlatacom Institute are a smart move. Thanks to their cutting-edge ICT solutions and services, organizations are able to protect their assets and be prepared for the uncharted, increasingly digital future.
