Digital Encode, an Information Security Management and Compliance Advisory company has expanded its business operations to the United States of America and has appointed Olaniwun Ajayi LP as company Legal Adviser.
Unveiling the office in New York, Oluseyi Akindeinde, chief technical officer, Digital Encode, said the expansion gives them the much needed presence in the global market place as well as access to foreign capital and affords Digital Encode the proximity to her international partners.
He added that the expansion which is its first outside the African continent will position Digital Encode as a global company.
“We can now take on projects that we would not have been able to take on prior to now. Technology partners are more willing to deal with a company with a global reach. We are also closer to the technology research and development hub. It definitely benefits the company in the long term,” Akinsehinde said.
On the appointment of Olaniwun Ajayi LP as company Legal Adviser, Akindeinde, said that the firm was selected because of their pedigree in the legal profession.
“They anticipate your needs and meet it even before you realise those needs. Couple with their vast array of legal expertise. For an LP, they are absolutely excellent,” he stated.
Olaniwun Ajayi LP has in nearly 60 years distinguished itself as the Nigerian commercial law Firm. They provide on demand services, and recognise the need for perfection in all they do.
According to Akindeinde, Digital Encode has been recognizesed in the industry for its vendor independent perspective, “our expertise lies in solving multifaceted, complex enterprise network security and audit problems.”
This informed the company’s appointment by Central Bank of Nigeria as the sole technical partner to the Nigerian Electronic Fraud Forum (NeFF), an initiative set up for the identification, mitigation, prevention and prosecution of all electronic fraud-related acts perpetrated in the country.
Digital Encode recently introduced a technology monitoring solution that could remotely monitor the cyberspace of organisations and report or stop unauthorised access to database.
The solution, which was developed by the Centre for Information Security Intelligence (CISI), an arm of Digital Encode, was necessitated by the growing rate of cyber attacks and cyber espionage, leading to loss of huge amounts of data and money.
