Security
The explosion of e-commerce, online banking transactions, connected objects and smart systems has created new threats. Computer piracy is now a real risk, from our smartphone, home or driverless vehicle being hacked to our whole identity being stolen.
As data is becoming increasingly valuable for businesses, Astek uses the latest security technologies to support client digital transformation in an ever-changing world.

What the experts say
Astek engineers specialising in blockchain have developed skills in fields from creating automated smart contracts without trusted third parties to ensuring products are traceable. This is critical in a range of sectors such as the health, agri-food and luxury industries and payments. They support major clients every day in these areas to develop and scale this promising technology.
François V.
Astek Innovation Lab Director
Astek creates new and renowned applications and algorithms in the fields of fingerprint recognition, automatic number plate recognition, vehicle radar and border controls. Astek’s expertise has been sought in setting up biometrics application test benches (MorphoCivis), developing the NGI Build process (the FBI’s Next Generation Identification), managing software configuration and developing dedicated SVN and JIRA tools.
Jean-Claude M.
Astek Consultant
Astek’s expertise covers business consultancy and managing electronic money projects (growth areas, automated systems, membership schemes), transfers (SCT, SDD, creditor mandates) and new value-added payment methods and services. Astek consultants do upstream work (e.g. writing anti-fraud service agreements) as well as managing and developing applications. We work in each of the three main areas of security: authentication, non-repudiation and traceability. We have incorporated new French standards (DSP2 payment services directive, etc.), European standards (SEPA, etc.) and international standards (EMV, etc.) into tools and have established protocols, testing plans and training specific to certain validation laboratories.
