Secure AI removes the vulnerability of data leaks during computation: Lorica delivers commercial products to address the coming “quantum event horizon”

TORONTO, June 24, 2024 /CNW/ – Lorica Cybersecurity, the leader in private artificial intelligence (AI) and a B2B software company that specializes in a new form of encryption technology, today announced the launch of Secure AI, a breakthrough solution that enables AI data processing without compromising privacy or security. With encryption from start to finish, organizations can now fully leverage AI to extract insights from sensitive data sets and collaborate in key fields such as medical research without the risk of data exposure while at rest, in transit and in use.

Data at rest is stored on a device or system; data in transit is moving between devices or networks, like downloads or sending emails; and data in use is actively being processed or accessed by a system or application. Secure AI changes everything because current systems can only protect information at rest or in transit, but Secure AI allows for the encryption and protection of user data and inferences throughout the data lifecycle.

This means Secure AI can, for example, analyze medical records and sensitive health data, including patient information, genomics, and clinical trial results, while maintaining strict confidentiality at all times. For the financial services industry, Secure AI can help institutions protect user data during transactions and identify fraud and anti-money laundering threats. This combination allows for enhanced data security and improved monitoring capabilities to combat illicit financial activities.

Secure AI also addresses the security implications of advancing technologies such as quantum computing. While quantum computing has the potential to solve complex problems at an unprecedented speed and scale, revolutionizing industries such as AI, finance, and drug discovery, that same speed and scale can be applied to the calculations needed to defeat encryption. This is a direct threat to current security methods.

“The looming ‘quantum event horizon’ poses an existential threat to existing encryption standards, as the speed and capacity of quantum processing render many current commercially important encryption methods breakable,” says Glenn Gulak, Lorica Co-Founder. “This critical juncture demands a game-changing solution, and no other offering on the market today matches Lorica’s ability to enhance AI capabilities while ensuring complete privacy and security.”

Industry Veterans Join Lorica in Leadership Positions

Along with the launch of Secure AI, Lorica also announced several high-profile additions to its leadership team and advisory board. Former FreshBooks President Mark Girvan takes over as CEO. Leslie Rechan, former President & CEO of Halogen and Solace, comes aboard as Executive Chair.

The company’s new advisory board is also comprised of renowned industry veterans and experts across cybersecurity and AI:

Saad Saade, Vice President, IT Labour Strategy, Contract Strategy, Bell CanadaBjorn Austraat, CEO and Founder, Kinetic CognitionPorter Shomo, Former Regional Vice President, AlteryxChris Peikert, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor

“Joining Lorica at this pivotal time presents a once-in-a-generation chance to have a profound impact on the future of data security,” says Mark Girvan, CEO, Lorica Cybersecurity. “Organizations want to leverage the full potential of AI to drive innovation and growth, but they’ve been constrained by legitimate data privacy concerns and vulnerabilities. We’re proud to remove the roadblocks to safely adopting AI to solve humanity’s greatest challenges, enabling unprecedented collaboration in healthcare, national security and financial innovation.

Recent investments by the Canadian government in advancing quantum computing technology and efforts in the United States to transition to post-quantum cryptography underscore the critical need to bolster this nation’s competitive edge in quantum information science while safeguarding against potential cyber, economic, and national security risks posed by quantum computers. Lorica’s Secure AI solution emerges as a cutting-edge development poised to revolutionize data security in this evolving landscape.

ANAHEIM, Calif., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RefrigiWear®, the leading manufacturer of insulated PPE and workwear for the global cold chain, announced the new ThermaSync™ Jacket and ThermaSync™ Glove, an integrated heated workwear system designed to keep workers warm, productive and protected even in temperatures down to -15°F.

ThermaSync™ combines heating technology with a completely unique connection to deliver warmth from core to fingertips.

The new products will debut at the ASSP Safety26 Conference & Expo, June 15–17, in Anaheim, California.

Connected Warmth from Core to Fingertips

ThermaSync™ combines battery-powered heating technology with industrial-grade durability and a completely unique connection between the products to deliver synchronized warmth from core to fingertips.

“Cold environments create real challenges for workers, affecting comfort, dexterity, productivity and job performance. Worn together, ThermaSync™ products create a connected system that maintains consistent warmth across the body and hands,” says RefrigiWear CEO Ryan Silberman.

The result is an innovative solution for insulated PPE that helps workers stay safe, comfortable and focused on the job.

ThermaSync™ Jacket

Even before powering up, the ThermaSync™ Jacket is insulated for protection in temperatures down to -15°F. Heating elements across the chest and back, plus high- and low-heat settings, let workers adjust warmth as activity levels or conditions change.

The jacket features durable abrasion-resistant, water-resistant materials, multiple pockets and an adjustable hem to block cold drafts, along with one rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that provides up to 8 hours of heat per charge.

GateKeeper will showcase its proximity-based passwordless MFA and identity access platform at Identiverse 2026 at Booth #113, highlighting how it helps mission-critical industries secure shared workstations without slowing down frontline workflows. The press release positions GateKeeper as a solution for improving identity assurance, user accountability, audit visibility, and frictionless access across manufacturing, healthcare, law enforcement, and other high-security environments.

LAS VEGAS, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Untethered Labs, Inc., creator of GateKeeper Proximity, today announces that it will showcase GateKeeper Proximity and GateKeeper IDP at Identiverse 2026, taking place June 15–17 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Attendees can visit GateKeeper at Booth #113 for live demonstrations focused on passwordless workstation access, shared workstation accountability, and stronger identity assurance for mission-critical environments.

” At Identiverse, we are showing how GateKeeper extends passwordless MFA and identity assurance to the frontline environments where speed, accountability, and security all have to work together.” Siddharth Pothbare.

GateKeeper is addressing a persistent identity challenge for organizations where shared workstations, fast user switching, operational uptime, and auditability all matter. While many organizations have invested in cloud SSO, MFA, and identity governance, shared endpoint environments remain difficult to secure without adding friction to daily workflows.

Manufacturing floors, healthcare clinics, law enforcement facilities, and other high-throughput operations often require multiple users to access the same endpoint throughout the day. In these environments, long passwords, shared credentials, frequent password resets, and incomplete user traceability can create both security risk and productivity drag. GateKeeper helps organizations reduce reliance on passwords while tying workstation access events back to the individual user.

GateKeeper combines proximity-based authentication with centralized access management and identity provider capabilities. Users can authenticate with a GateKeeper token, supported NFC/RFID badge, or mobile credential, helping organizations enforce consistent MFA while maintaining a fast and familiar user experience. The result is stronger identity assurance from the workstation to applications, without forcing frontline teams into slower or more disruptive login processes.

“Identity programs have made major progress in the cloud, but shared workstations remain one of the hardest environments to secure without disrupting operations,” said Siddharth Pothbare, CEO at Untethered Labs. “At Identiverse, we are showing how GateKeeper extends passwordless MFA and identity assurance to the frontline environments where speed, accountability, and security all have to work together.”

At Booth #113, GateKeeper will demonstrate how organizations can:

Replace shared passwords with token, badge, or mobile-based passwordless authentication.Tie workstation access events to individual users, even in shared workstation environments.Enforce phone-free MFA consistently across mission-critical endpoints and applications.Improve workflow speed for operators, clinicians, officers, and frontline staff.Generate clean audit logs that support compliance, investigations, and access reviews.Extend identity assurance from workstation login to downstream application access through GateKeeper IDP capabilities.

GateKeeper’s approach has already helped mission-critical organizations reduce login friction while improving security and accountability. In one customer deployment, Major Tool & Machine reported significant time savings compared to conventional authentication methods.

“While conventional two-factor authentication methods could have cost the company over 240 hours of login time for 14,000 logins in one month, GateKeeper took only 20 hours of time to log in. GateKeeper made the computers secure, and cost 90% less in time as compared to any other authentication method.” — Tom Riddle, Network Administrator, Major Tool & Machine
