Reporter: Stuart Littleford<\/span><\/p>\n

Zonafide, the mobile app leveraging blockchain and collaboration technology to ensure Activities are secure and legitimate, today announces a partnership with Atos to help combat identity theft and cybercrime.<\/p>\n

The partnership will see Atos assist their clients in the use of Zonafide\u2019s blockchain-based technology in order to drive efficiencies and improve security when processing life events such as marriage and deaths. Atos\u2019 clients span all major industries and sectors, including \u00a33 billion of UK Government contracts ranging from the NS&I to the BBC.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Zonafide helps prevent fraud and cybercrime by securing Activities \u2013 an important transaction such as a house purchase payment or updating personal details with a bank \u2013 using blockchain technology. Ultimately, Zonafide prevents things happening unless the individual wants them to, ensuring that Activities are secure and legitimate.<\/p>\n

As well as helping fight identity theft and cybercrime, Zonafide reduces the friction in verifying transactions and increases efficiency.<\/p>\n

Moreover, as Zonafide\u2019s blockchain network is decentralised it avoids the inflexibility, costs and weaknesses embedded in centralised systems. All these advantages look set to benefit Atos\u2019 clients who adopt Zonafide and its technology.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the partnership, Paul Worrall, Founder of Zonafide said:<\/strong> \u201cThis is a landmark partnership for Zonafide. Atos provides our clients with the confidence that our blockchain-based solution has the commitment of established IT services companies. This partnership is also a recognition of the power of blockchain to disrupt traditional processes and legacy centralised systems currently used by most organisations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst Zonafide will initially be used in Activities relating to life events in Register Services in UK Local Government, there are many more potential applications that we look forward to working with Atos on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ivo Luijendijk, Group Industry Director Data Analytics, IOT & Blockchain at Atos added:<\/strong> \u201cDiscussions with Zonafide have been greatly appreciated by our clients and we have already identified a prospect. I think this will be a fruitful partnership for both Atos and Zonafide.”<\/p>\n

In addition to providing Zonafide\u2019s software, the firm\u2019s founders will also be hosting blockchain-focused workshops with Atos\u2019 senior management, to further embed their knowledge of the technology\u2019s potential and to discuss commercial opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
