Titania Welcomes Rt Hon Francis Maude at Office Opening

On Thursday the 20^th of November we will be joined by friends, partners and media in welcoming the Cybersecurity Rt Hon Francis Maude MP to cut the ribbon at our new headquarters in Worcester. 

As part of a cybersecurity campaign, in the lead up to Cyber Monday, the busiest day of the year for online shopping , the Minister will be travelling across the UK to promote awareness of increasing online threats. After discussing cyber defence strategies, with industry and academia, at the Cybersecurity Summit 2014, Rt Hon Francis Maude MP travels to the cyber valley, to deliver a speech and to officially open the building. 

Titania was founded 5 years ago by one information security professional, Ian Whiting, who wanted to replace the sometimes repetitive and time-consuming audit and report writing side of penetration testing with software that automates much of the network device auditing process. The Network Infrastructure Parser, developed by Ian, evolved into Nipper Studio, Titania’s flagship and most successful product.

Five years, and countless awards later, Titania has a new home where it will continue to develop and deliver trusted solutions to a community of information security professionals in over 60 countries.

#InfosecHeroes Nominate & Donate

What is #InfosecHeroes?

Titania’s CEO, Ian Whiting was recently named this year’s winner of the “Personal Contribution to IT Security” in the Computing Security Awards ceremony. While this has been a great honour for Ian and a very proud moment in Titania's history, it also made us realise how many more hardworking individuals in information security there are out there who deserve recognition for their efforts. That is why we created #InfosecHeroes; because sometimes even a thank you and a mention go a long way to recognise people’s efforts!

How does it work?

You nominate an information security professional that you consider has brought some outstanding achievements to the industry. You share it over Twitter including the hashtag #InfosecHeroes and the name / handle of the elected hero and make a charity donation. Any donations are entirely up to you, but we would be really grateful if you could help us reach our goal of raising £500 for WhiteHatRally.

Have you been nominated? Congratulations – someone somewhere has learnt something from your research, benefited from a tool you developed, or has found your conference talks really inspiring! Why not give something back with a nomination and a donation? 

If you don’t like the idea, that’s fine too, but you might like to be a Barnardo’s hero by making a small donation to WhiteHat Rally. As the industry’s representative charity we decided all funds raised through this campaign should go to them.

We will make the first donation of £25, divided among 5 teams which will take turns in nominating their own #InfosecHeroes! Follow us @TitaniaLimited to find out who we chose…

Thank you, infosec community! 

FOSE 2014 - Highlights from Titania

Ian Whiting introduces the FOSE audience to Titania's flagship
product Nipper Studio

On the first day of FOSE, the leading annual event in Washington DC for technology providers to meet with government, Titania CEO, Ian Whiting presented to an audience of delegates among the 8000+ attendees on Titania's flagship network security and compliance audit suite Nipper Studio. 

US government agencies in defense, homeland security and law enforcement, who are already users of Nipper Studio, were able to learn about the many new features included in the latest version of Nipper Studio which has just been released.

Visitors to Titania's stand at the FOSE Expo were also able to learn how the company's suite of audit software solutions will be able to help the US government move to a Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) posture across all federal agencies, which is the subject of a $6 bn budget allocated over the next 5 years, via the Department of Homeland Security. Released by the DHS, the CDM program is intended as a shift from the current static safeguarding of network security in favor of a more dynamic, constant monitoring policy. 

Titania #727 stand

Many visitors to Titania's stand commented favorably on Titania's remarkable record as a small, specialist UK software company in successfully acquiring as valued clients so many of the largest federal government agencies within the US military and civil government communities. 

The second day at FOSE saw many US government officials stopping by at the Titania booth to learn about our innovative solutions for network security and compliance auditing.

Representatives from the Navy, DHS, the State Department and NOAA, among others, were able to hear about the latest updates to current Titania products as well as learning about a major new product launch coming soon.
