LONDON, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Oakdoor, a pioneer in hardware-enforced security solutions, which is part of PA Consulting (PA), and Nexor, the leading specialist in Secure Information Exchange, have announced a strategic partnership to advance a high assurance cross domain solution for secure data sharing. The partnership will start to create highly integrated software guarding and hardware verification solutions – with the aim of making access to data more secure and manageable for customers using multiple security domains worldwide.

Oakdoor has revolutionised data diodes in recent years, raising security standards and diode performance whilst reducing their complexity and cost. Meanwhile, Nexor has over 30 years’ experience in delivering secure information exchange at the highest level. By working together and sharing their expertise, the two companies will work to make the most secure cross domain solutions available to a wider range of customers.

The partnership will enable Nexor’s GuarDiode to be combined with Oakdoor’s cutting-edge data diodes to form a powerful cross domain solution, which will deliver unparalleled protection and resilience against evolving cyber threats. This is because Nexor’s software detects and removes malicious content by validating data against comprehensive information management policies. This allows controlled filtering of sensitive information assets into and out of critical systems. Meanwhile, Oakdoor’s UK CAPS approved data diodes are a critical hardware component for eliminating infiltration or exfiltration attack vectors within the cross domain solution.

Tim Lunn, Founder and Head of Product at Oakdoor, said: “We are excited to announce our partnership with Nexor, which aims to bring this high assurance cross domain solution to the market. By integrating Oakdoor’s National Cyber Security Centre approved diodes with Nexor’s proven protocol and management software system, we are creating a more holistic solution for customers that are working at the highest classification levels.

Tim Thompson, Managing Director at Nexor, said: We are thrilled to partner with Oakdoor, part of PA Consulting, combining Nexor’s advanced software with robust hardware to enhance market support and innovation. By harnessing exceptional engineering prowess alongside advanced software and hardware development, this strategic alliance positions both companies to pioneer more cohesive and impactful solutions, steadfastly advancing our pledge to excellence and customer satisfaction.”

LONDON, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — One in four people with pre-existing medical conditions (25%) say they will not declare all of their medical conditions when buying travel insurance, with 40% of these only declaring what they are currently being treated for.

Of those that would not declare everything, one in eight (13%) would only declare everything when visiting far-flung destinations, or when they’re away for two weeks or more (15%). Another 14% don’t always declare all their medical conditions as they believe the risk of falling ill is very small.

Further the issue of travelling abroad with medical conditions is not an issue confined to older holidaymakers. The new survey of a representative sample of 2,212 adults reveals that across all age groups, around two-thirds of survey respondents acknowledged they had some form of pre-existing medical condition.  For any age, medical conditions need to be declared when travelling abroad to avoid the risk of travel insurance being invalidated.

Garry Nelson, Head of Corporate Affairs at AllClear Travel Insurance commented: “While it is positive to see that most people are choosing to declare all of their medical conditions to their travel insurance provider, the fact one in four don’t is of particular concern. With travel insurance, it is vital that people – and particularly those that have pre-existing medical conditions – declare ALL the medical conditions that fall within their Travel Insurance warranty, to be sure their cover offers them the fullest protection possible.”

“Our priority at AllClear is to look after our customers on holiday and the value we deliver our customers is based on a commitment to providing the best quality product and best-in-class service for the fairest possible price.”  

For more than 20 years, award-winning AllClear Travel Insurance has helped cover more than 3.5m people, with customers across the UK and Australia.  AllClear is passionate about enabling people to obtain specialist travel insurance whatever their pre-existing medical conditions or age. Discover more about AllClear at: www.allcleartravel.co.uk 

The online research was conducted for AllClear by Sago research among a representative sample for 2,212 adults in April 2024.
