While the concept of zero trust is over 40 years old, XQ has developed the first Zero Trust Data solution to serve enterprise, government, and emerging Smart City applications. This innovative security offering enables data portability between sensors, mobile devices, and cloud infrastructure.

The XQ framework integrates VPN and file encryption into a single solution that governs who, when, and where email, file, and application data is accessed. Access is restricted within geofencing boundaries or other limitations to prevent lateral movement. XQ ensures that file access does not equate to data access, by allowing for encryption, geotagging at the point of capture, and data locking. XQ also offers software integrations that enable email encryption and file encryption on mobile devices. Additionally, XQ Secure Vault, a cloud storage product, provides a transparent data protection solution for cloud applications.

“The gulf states are making substantial investments in Smart City and Energy infrastructure. XQ’s Zero Trust Data will greatly simplify protecting mission-critical data,” said Junaid Islam, Co-Founder, Board Member, and CTO for XQ.

Frank Leonard, Founder and CEO of Leonard McDowell, said, “We’re thrilled to work with Shaik and his team. He’s been a skillful partner throughout this entire collaboration. These are exciting times to expand our global footprint with such innovative technology partners. NEXT can sustain its investment through XQ’s cutting-edge technology while preserving the security of its unique intellectual property within the industry.”

Quote from Shaik Hamdan: “Our new partnership ensures trust in the data, which is the most innovative application to technology to ensure innovation, UX, and the success of Next IT.”
