As CEO, Chairman and co-founder of FusionPipe, I had marvelled at the pace of innovation that differentiates us as one of a very few technology companies in the world that can offer authentication and data security implementations that provide both convenient and secure authentication. With the help of recently oversubscribed Angel Seed Rounds, Government programs (NRC IRAP, NSERC, MITACS) and our University research collaborations with UBC, Simon Fraser and Carleton, we develop unparalleled authentication and data security solutions.FusionPipe's vision is to provide world-class, unbreakable and secure authentication and mobile data security solutions for Enterprises, increasing productivity while securing sensitive data and proprietary information from data breaches and cybercrime which today costs the global economy $650B/year. Our mission is to provide convenient yet secure authentication and security software solutions that use smartphones and wearable accessories (like Samsung and Apple Watch) to authorize the Enterprise user to devices and networks. Based solely on wireless communications proximity we negate the need to enter complex username and passwords or use smartcards, tokens, OTP, dongles or other authentication hardware in order to improve both productivity and data security, while dramatically lowering TCO.
