295 How Syccure Delivers The Future of Security For Complex Virtualized Networks
Syccure is a SaaS cyber security company that closes the security gaps found in today’s complex hybrid networks. The main pain point we solve is making access control at scale simple, far reaching and ultra secure. We assign cryptographic identities to every IP enabled device, we use those identities to write one set of security policies that work across every layer, and we deploy dynamic, adaptive, contextually aware encryption.   Syccure is an external policy and authorization platform that lets anyone create, deploy and manage business objectives and the authorization policies that enforce them in an easy to use, intuitive solution. Built on blockchain, Syccure delivers centralized authorization control and management from a decentralized platform, lowering integration costs within the stack. By creating granular visibility of identities, access controls, and lifecycle management, Syccure makes it possible to extend trust across corporate boundaries, delivering information sharing workflows that make it easy to share secure content in a zero trust environment.    For more information, visit www.syccure.com   If you have the next big idea, apply to the Expert Dojo Accelerator:

292 How FlexPay is Africa’s First Merchant-Embedded Saving-Based Purchase App
Flexpay collaborates with retailers, brands, marketplaces, and banks to reward customers for saving up for the things they want, closing the affordability gap debt-free, increasing customer retention, and growing sales for the merchants.   Low disposable incomes limit a vast majority of Africans from buying or accessing product and services they want. Additionally, consumers are being pushed towards the booming ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ credit driven models in the consumption ecosystem, which is predatory and leads to impulse buying and debt. There has never been anything embedded in the retail experience that incentivizes people to save up for purchases as a way of closing the affordability gap.   FlexPay simply rewards customers for saving up for the things they love, need, and want, closing the affordability gap for the large under-banked African population while increasing sales and loyalty for merchants.    For more information, visit www.flexpay.co.ke
