ObjectSecurity has carried out many different projects since 2000 that benefited greatly from the many years of experience our staff has had in industry before. Our previous and current non-confidential projects (except air traffic control, telecoms, defence, homeland security, and our book) include:
 Secure distributed IT infrastructure in the financial services sector
We carried out a substantial technical security analysis and risk analysis as an independent third party at a large bank in London, UK. In addition, we integrated firewalls with CORBA security and a 3-tier distributed application.
Technical security audits for banking, telecommunications etc.
We delivered security audits for several large organisations, involving both IT and non-IT aspects. In particular, we successfully analysed network and distributed systems security.
Rapid reaction against hacker incidents
In the past, our specialists got involved several times to identify and stop hackers that tried to attack our clients’ IT systems. Our tasks also included cleaning up and protecting the system after hacker incidents. In particular, this involved the secure configuration of operating systems, firewalls, distributed systems, and security technologies.
Evaluation of security technologies
We provided in-depth evaluations of firewalls, cryptographic systems, Web browser security, access control, intrusion detection, single sign-on systems etc. as part of several banking projects.
End-user security software
We designed and implemented end-user cryptographic software that is now successfully deployed in several large Swiss and German banks and insurance companies.
Technical support for distributed systems technologies
Due to demand from industry, we provide technical support, consulting, and development for MICO/MICOSec CORBA.
Security solution for an internet service provider (ISP)
Our specialists delivered responsive and reliable technical support for an internet service provider and put appropriate security measures in place.
Basic research and development
Over the years, our specialists have explored new ways of improving integrated policy management in heterogeneous distributed systems, distributed systems security and middleware security in general, and security of CORBA, CORBA Components, Enterprise Java Beans, and .NET in particular (in collaboration with the Security Group at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway University of London.
Web portal development and maintenance
We were responsible for extending and maintaining a complex customer management web portal.
Secure "shrink-wrapped" third party software development
We designed, developed, and supported a tool to allow encrypted files to be emailed without key exchange and with maximum usability.
