Viva Las Vegas
�
No time to rest. Sezame (https://seza.me) just returned from from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where we got great feedback for our new product SAFE (https://seza.me/safe) as well as for the LOGIN (https://seza.me/login).
Meanwhile the bootcamp of SIBS (an accelerator program for startups focusing on Open Banking) is going well. And now another highlight is just around the corner: Sezame joins the 2018 Conference & Exhibition (http://www.himssconference.org) March 5–9 in Las Vegas! We are joining the Austrian joint booth organized by the life science platform LISAvienna.
By the way: That shows the many application possibilities of our technology. While the bootcamp was all about financial services, the HIMSS Conference brings together 45.000 professionals from around the world to discuss the promise of health information and technology. For further news stay tuned on https://seza.me.

Das beliebteste Passwort ist…

…traurig, aber wahr - und ein Argument mehr für Sezame:

„123456“ ist das meistgenutzte Passwort der Österreicher. Auf den weiteren Plätzen folgen die ebenso wenig sichere Ziffernfolgen wie „1234“ oder „12345“. Das teilte das deutsche Hasso-Plattner-Institut (HPI) erst kürzlich mit. Rang fünf nimmt „hallo“ ein, das im Vorjahr häufigste Passwort namens „passwort“ lag 2017 auf Platz sechs. Das Sicherheitsrisiko ist freilich immens, leistungsstarke Rechner können in kürzester Zeit Millionen von möglichen Passwörtern generieren und mit verschleierten Passwörtern abgleichen. „Passwörter, die maximal aus sechs Zahlen bestehen, können in wenigen Minuten errechnet werden“, warnte HPI-Direktor Christoph Meinel in einer Aussendung: „Wer sein Passwort auf dieser Liste entdeckt, sollte es schnellstmöglich ändern.“ Oder aber erst gar keines verwenden. Denn mit der innovativen Technologie des Wiener IT-Start-ups Sezame sind Passwörter obsolet. Sobald ein Web-Shop die Software implementiert, brauchen User nur die entsprechende App und ihr Smartphone, um internetbasierte Transaktionen via biometrischer Identifikation frei zu geben. Die patentierte Lösung ist so einfach wie eins, zwei, drei - dabei allerdings auch sicher!

Sezame, Stephen Hawking and a crowd of 60.000

„The Web Summit has been amazing. Many interesting people, great atmosphere and inspiring keynotes“, says Florian Randa, Co-Founder of the Austrian Start-up Sezame (https://seza.me). The company provides you with a new way of secure logins to all your existing password protected accounts via biometric authentication.
The Web Summit is the world’s largest tech event with 60,000 experts attending. Sezame presented its latest product called sezameSAFE, a unique mobile biometric solution to encrypt data on any device. „The interest in our product was impressive“, says Co-founder Markus Gürtler, „We made lots of new contacts.“
Who knows what happens next? At the Summit there's serious money up for grabs with some of the world's largest tech firms scouting for the next big app or technology in which to invest. Organizers claim that a third of startups who display their products at the Web Summit find a donor within 12 months.
Speakers at this year's event included former US President Al Gore as well as representatives from tech-giants such as Amazon or Uber. Keynote speaker Stephen Hawking discussed the risks associated with artificial intelligence and warned that it might be "the best or worst thing to ever happen to humanity”.

What a Gamble!
Watch out: Sezame (https://seza.me) is known beyond the boundaries of Austria (where the headquarters are located) and gets more and more international attention. Our product that defines a new standard of IT-security just got broad coverage in a Supplement of the Malta Today newspaper that is all about the Gaming Industry facing fraud issues. In a full-page interview Sezame’s Co-founder and managing director Markus Gürtler, talks about the technology of the Austrian Start-up and its chances to define a new security-standard in the gaming industry.

In the news again

The Austrian newspaper „Der Standard“ features an article about Sezame (https://seza.me) including a pic of our founders Markus Gürtler and Florian Randa. It seems that journalists begin to understand the huge potential of our biometric-authentication-technology: IT-security without any passwords!

Sezame (http://seza.me) got great feedback at the start-up village of the DMEXCO 2017 (https://dmexco.com), the Global Business and Innovation Platform in Cologne, where we presented our product. We made a lot of new contacts with potential customers and business partners. Meanwhile, even better news reached us from home: We made it to the finals of the Elevator Lab (www.elevator-lab.com), an initiative of Raiffeisen Bank International to support Fintech Start-ups all over Central and Eastern Europe! More than 336 companies applied, only 30 made it through the pre-selection phase and half of them passed the personal presentation. Sezame is one of them! In the finals, in consultation with potential mentors, 5 Winner Start-ups will be selected, to which Raiffeisen will offer access to their global network and business partners.

Where the world's biggest banks and tech firms met

First we took Vienna, now we took Madrid ;-) Sezame (https://seza.me/sdks/), the Austrian Start-Up that defines a new standard for secure internet-transactions, attended MoneyConf (https://moneyconf.com) in the capital city of Spain. From June 6th to 7th the fintech world met there to see the industry’s most promising startups from across the world. Loads of good talks, highly appreciated product input and new customers acquired by the team on the ground. See you again next year in Dublin!
