Security
	Without doubt, security issues represent one of the major business challenges of today’s rapidly changing world, especially when it concerns the information stored and handled by companies and organizations. After all, information has become the most asset of many of these enterprises and therefore needs to be protected in an appropriate manner. With new developments such as cloud computing and the escalating numbers and changing use of the numerous types of mobile devices, the threat landscape has not only changed but become increasing more complicated. Thus, new, and more innovative solutions need to be created to combat this scenario. Gaia Metis provides a comprehensive range of information technology solutions and consulting services to its clients. Gaia Metis is a Microsoft development house, developing secure and robust systems, with integrated security and enhanced usability.Partnering with other individual developers and companies it can do a wide variety of development and integrations.

This small innovative company has a staff complement of 5 permanent people and subcontracts as required, including Developers, Cryptographers, Engineers, Professional Services, Sales, Legal and Administration.
Biometrics
	Gaia Metis has developed a simplified biometric authentication platform which is easily integrated into any existing system to replace traditional system’s access credentials such as usernames and passwords. This makes the incorporation of complex biometric and cryptographic functions possible to any enterprise systems that need to consume these functions via am API. The biometric and RFID technology has been integrated into a variety of solutions such as product dispensing, physical and systems access control, employee onboarding and transaction signing. The framework is already integrated into a variety of device independent biometric algorithms offering 1:1 and 1: many matching and deduplication for fraud identification activities. Fingerprint technology has been rapidly evolving to provide higher quality fingerprint images at a lower cost.Gaia Metis is continually monitoring the field to find the best technology to fulfil this purpose.
Authentication
	Traditional Identity Management projects have proven difficult to deliver within budget, timelines, and expectations over the past decade. The simple reason is that the scope of design, change and consolidation of identity processes is just too large to management for short term practical results. Gaia Metis has developed a methodology based on addressing Risks, Compliance and Enablement within an Identity Credential Enablement project and this can be applied to rapidly deliver real results to business whilst running parallel to larger identity and access management projects. The first focus point is to pragmatically define the real problem areas that need to be addressed with electronic identities based on risks that they pose to the business as well as compliance that needs to be achieved.In most cases, even in large corporates, this simply comes down to weak identity credentials like passwords, too many identity credentials to remember for different systems, orphan accounts and dealing with rogue employees or hackers.Compliance issues are usually mostly about password management, changes, and policy. It sounds almost unbelievable but even the largest organization can take control of this situation and address these key issues within one financial year and immediately reap the rewards of enhanced security and greater user convenience. The cherry on top is that the right choice of strong authentication credentials can also trigger a multitude of enablement projects that start actively saving time and money such as digital signatures for internal process where staff are already login on with a single digital certificate to all the different systems they need to work on. This approach is backed up by scanning and auditing functions which are automated and give you the security intelligence to act on orphan accounts or policy infringements.
