This year the Latin American companies highlighted by Gartner as "Cool Vendor Spanish Latin America 2016" are GMD, Satellogic, allGreenUp, Genexus and ProSignIT.
"We are very happy about the award. The IT security market is very complex and difficult for new players to enter due to its sensitive nature. After breaking down certain walls, we see that there are great opportunities in Latin America. Being included in the report of the five outstanding companies that are contributing to the digital transformation of Latin America makes us proud and reinforces our conviction that we are working in the right direction," said Martin Fernandez, co-founder of ProSignIT.
ProSignIT started incubated at the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship of the ORT University, with financial support from ANII and mentoring from prominent entrepreneurs in the region. Today it has offices in Montevideo and Sao Paulo, and is developing an expansion plan in other Latin American countries with support from Digital Bank Latam.
ProSignIT develops and markets innovative banking authentication products accessible to all industries. This means that a law firm, e-commerce or any business IT system can protect IT access to its data with identification systems that are more secure than a simple username and password.
"Our purpose is to democratise authentication systems with a high level of quality and security and we are achieving this by focusing on security attributes, user experience, and a smart cost model accessible not only to large companies but also to small ones," says Fernandez.
