Universal security
We hope that the company will be ranked among the top five leading integrators on the Polish IT market," says Piotr Siniarski, Director of Sales. The company understands integration as the creation of a coherent system containing high-quality software and technological thought. It has the potential and knowledge to carry out all possible projects improving the effectiveness of their clients.
The Qumak-Sekom Group is an organization formed by companies that have been cooperating for many years. It was created as a result of joining technological companies that used to belong to the Sekom Group (founded in 1998). The first stage of the consolidation (which ended in December 2000) included complete incorporation into Sekom S.A. of such companies as Blue Bridge Sp.z o.o. and Gandalf Polska Sp.z o.o. and also the formation - out of three ventures: Sekom S.A., Qumak International Sp.z o. o. and Pulsar Electronics - of the Sekom Group. The second stage, which took place at the beginning of 2002, included the merger of companies such as Sekom S.A. and Qumak International Sp.z o. o and the formation of Qumak-Sekom S.A. These two companies merged into one larger company and created an enterprise which combines the knowledge and skills of the employees and the experience of both the companies. The merger led to technical and financial stabilization as well as the stable development of the whole company, which gives its clients access to a greater number of products to offer, high-quality devices, specialized management tools, reliability of the teleinformatic infrastructure and technical service.
Such an enlarged, more effective and dynamic company is able to face an increasingly competitive market. "We partner with almost all the established worldwide leaders in security solutions which we use to create security systems," says Piotr Siniarski. "We have developed a close, interactive working relationship with, for example, PGP corporation, RSA Security, Checkpoint Systems, Inc, Internet Security Systems (ISS) and Network Associates, Inc. Our products, which are popular with western countries, have earned a reputation for being highly reliable."
The company offers a comprehensive selection of products that meet the requirements of the most demanding of customers. "The majority of IT companies on the Polish market provide their clients with individual elements of security policy," says Mr. Siniarski. "There are very few companies that could be entrusted with both managing and supervising complete informatic projects, and only a few of them have considered creating an overall security policy because it is a real challenge. Polish companies have individual IT infrastructure elements implemented. As a consequence, taking advantage of the scope of activity and a complex approach to IT systems integration, Qumak-Sekom S.A. offers its clients not just separate products or services, but a complete realization of projects in the area of network and the integration of systems and business applications." Additionally, being client-oriented, the company prefers outsourcing supplementary services, which allows the company to lower the costs of contracts - and consequently, the final costs borne by the clients is significantly reduced.
The company is distinguished by a wide variety of applications. Its offer includes: Business Applications' Integration, System and Network Integration, IT Security Systems, Buildings Automatics Systems, Videoconference Solutions, Knowledge Management (e-learning) as well as Internet and Mobile Solutions.
Qumak-Sekom S.A is a trusted partner when planning technically complicated meetings and events. They provide a full range of solutions to reach the audience effectively. Well-timed action, reduced costs, increased productivity, efficiency and collaboration of working teams are the fundamental objectives for every company. The videoconference system is the solution that allows all these needs to be reconciled. The company integrates video systems with resources existing within the working environment and in that manner offers complete solutions for business communication.
Further, the company enables its clients to stay competitive by providing immediate access to knowledge, regardless of the place and without having to bear the costs of travel and/or accommodation. Qumak-Sekom S.A. offers e-learning, which is appreciated by enterprises with large, dispersed organizations. By successfully implementing e-learning speed, their employees' time to gain the agility and effectiveness needed to stay ahead is increased.
Apart from facilitating the process of learning and running conferences, Qumak-Sekom S.A. offers a building automatics system that introduces the term "intelligent building". It guarantees a combination of high standards and security and low working costs. The user-friendly system protects against external threats (arson, robbery theft) as well as internal ones (human error on the part of the staff). While designing and creating intelligent building systems, the company - as a system integrator - provides its clients with consulting and advice, equipment supply, application installation or financial control of projects. Informatic knowledge and skills, authorizations and experience in completing numerous buildings make the company's offer exceptional on the market.
Security of information assets is also within Qumak-Sekom S.A.'s sphere of interest. An information network is a kind of medium that connects the company with the external world and therefore can let viruses into the system or give unauthorized individuals access to company resources. Qumak-Sekom S.A. offers rigorously tested and effective methods of fighting various types of unwelcome interference in the network infrastructure. Some examples of such technologies include firewalls, which protect the connection with the Internet, control the kind of information exchanged via the Internet and are responsible for detecting any breakings into the system, as well as access control, enforcement of security and resource policy. The company also provides software aimed at protecting a modern informatic environment against viruses that could approach it from any given route. Among other products, Qumak-Sekom S.A. offers products of the world-renowned American company McAfee, which is a leading world producer of solutions in the sphere of informatic systems security.
Apart from all the systems and products already mentioned, there are two products which Mr. Siniarski says distinguish Qumak- Sekom S.A. from other leading IT companies: first, Sniffer InfiniStream Security Forensic launched by Network Associates, Inc. and second, PGP Universal. Sniffer InfiniStream helps assure the availability and security of your network infrastructure and protects the data from being misused. It delivers gigabyte-speed and includes an intelligent retrieval mechanism to analyze network-based event data. It reconstructs detailed network events, including the opening of a suspicious attachment. It is called a 'powerful real-time web traffic recorder'.
Additionally, it has leading storage capacity - 2.9 terabytes of storage - which allows the system to archive over 2.5 days of traffic before recycling the stored data and gives a company enhanced visibility. By accessing historical data it is possible to investigate intermittent anomalies. It protects the network from threats and reconstructs such activities as: computer hacking, intellectual property theft, software piracy and credit-card fraud. Capturing all network traffic data, the system provides the evidence required in investigations. "The product has been on the Polish market since the third quarter of 2003 and our company is considered to be the precursor of such solutions in Europe," says Mr Siniarski.
The other product that Mr. Siniarski takes care to focus on is PGP Universal, the first product built on PGP Corporation's new Self-Managing Security Architecture, which helps to eliminate the barrier to achieving messaging security. "Today, networks are an essential part of business, education and government, which enables them to thrive," says Leszek Rzymowski, Engineering Director of Qumak-Sekom S.A. "Implementing Internet technology contributes to a company's success. However, while connecting to the Internet, the user runs the risk of being targeted by attackers. Additionally, unsecured information may lead to a company's failure and the loss of significant data, and as a consequence, it could potentially incur financial losses. In a practical, automatic, transparent and cost-effective manner, PGP Universal shifts the burden of protecting information assets from the users' desktop to the Net. It is a simpler and smarter product that does not demand any changes in the current IT structure."
PGP Universal secures all messages entering and leaving the organization, as well as all intra-company massages, including mail on internal servers. It satisfies the needs of five constituent groups who need their private and proprietary information to be protected in all communications: Executives who want to minimize company risks, Business Units focusing on securing their intellectual property, Security Organizations measuring the effectiveness of e-mail security, IT Organizations implementing new security technology and End Users who comply with standard business procedures. This comprehensive, self-managing and effective system handles new and changing security requirements. It assures enterprise management that sensitive corporate information is safe, whether it is in transit or stored in a database.
Qumak-Sekom S.A is a company whose mission is to build and integrate IT systems and to supply tools for their management. "We are proud of trading in the IT business for almost 20 years. Our numerous successes were possible due to our personnel, who is highly experienced in implementing complex systems, has an extensive technology expertise, is oriented to meet the rising project needs of its clients and enables the company to drive their technology solutions forward," says Mr Siniarski. "We bring forward the experience and enthusiasm of a multi-skilled team of professionals, as well as an outstanding pool of resources."
Being a leading IT company, Qumak-Sekom S.A. realizes that clients' expectations are high It is equipped with a Security Department responsible for the security of non-public information and a secret office designed to store confidential documents. The WSI (Military Information Services) issued the company the Industrial Security Certificate, which allows the enterprise to participate in tenders and to carry out contracts for military services, government institutions, financial institutions and cryptography experts. Its products are tailored for enterprises and businesses that regularly move large amounts of sensitive information between data centers.
Qumak-Sekom S.A is currently effectively enlarging its participation in the market and is constantly increasing the quality of its services. The company provides world-class, real-time communications and integration solutions, security for all companies and protection against cyber threats - without which different branches of the economy would not be able to manage and protect their information assets.
