Today’s enterprise organizations are more interconnected and complex than ever, often relying on an organic mix of on-prem and cloud environments to support the wide range of siloed business and security applications needed by companies.

To protect this flow of data seamlessly without any leakage, Seclore has launched Seclore Professional Services which utilizes in-depth product and security expertise to offer onboarding, training, custom integrations, and managed services to secure the enterprise. The expansion of the Seclore offering introduces new possibilities for customers of varied scales to assess their project and support needs, address data protection challenges, ensure adherence to implementation timelines, and enable business goals without delay or downtime.

Seclore offers pre-built connectors and custom integration services for comprehensive security across all environments. Seclore’s well-documented SDKs and APIs support hybrid and multi-cloud integrations, including CASB and SIEM. In addition to this, Seclore offers services like data-security strategy, risk scoring, gap analysis, and cloud migration to ensure seamless integration and protection and policy development.

Key benefits of the Seclore Professional Services offering include:

1. Customized Consulting: Seclore consulting services bring pragmatic industry expertise to align security operations with business outcomes. We take a phased approach and leverage expertise in specific areas to create and sustain long-term value.
2. Advanced Training and Onboarding: Seclore technical product experts teach system functionalities and set up Seclore in customer environments. Training can be optimized for new and current employees who need a refresher, or for in-depth training on the latest features.
3. Dedicated Support: Businesses can take the Seclore implementation to the next level with dedicated technical support managers with deep knowledge of the business. Understand and improve how systems need to work together due to emerging security trends and evolving business objectives.
4. Integration Services: Work with the Seclore team or a verified partner to deploy existing integrations for commonly used applications or build custom integrations for specific business applications. Secure data across all applications, on-prem, and in-cloud environments — including custom and off-the-shelf software.

The Seclore Verified Partner Network is expanding to encompass a diverse array of global partners. This includes HCL, renowned for assisting global SaaS companies in their digital transformation, and Nagarro, which specializes in agile and flexible transformational technology. The network also features several Indian companies such as Technobind, Mtech, Digital Track, Galaxy, Progression, Esec Forte, and Raksha.

“With more data being generated than ever before, CISOs want to ensure their enterprise’s IP remains secure,” said Dushyant Sahni, Global Practice Leader, at Nagarro. “Through Seclore’s data-centric security platform and Nagarro’s enterprise integration services, together we ensure our customers collaborate seamlessly while mitigating security risks and maintaining compliance.”

“India is a significant market for us and it’s a great privilege to solve the unique business challenges our enterprise customers face in the country”, said Vishal Gauri, Chief Customer Officer at Seclore. “Seclore Professional Services brings new resources to our already thriving partner ecosystem and gives our customers more options to expand the level of interoperability they need to make data-centric security and compliance an integral part of their entire organization.”

Kolkata, 13th June 2024: Wind turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical power. They are a cornerstone of renewable energy, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. By harnessing wind, we generate clean, sustainable energy that helps mitigate climate change.

Globally, wind turbines contribute a substantial portion of clean energy. They account for over 6% of the world’s electricity, a figure that continues to grow as technology advances and investments in renewable energy increase.

India has embraced wind energy as a vital component of its renewable energy strategy. The country boasts over 37 GW of installed wind capacity, making it the fourth-largest wind power producer in the world. This translates to thousands of wind turbines operating across the nation.

Wind turbines typically have a lifespan of 20-25 years. As they reach the end of their operational life, recycling them becomes crucial to ensure environmental sustainability. Components like steel and copper can be recycled, but fibreglass blades pose a significant challenge due to their composition.

Globally, innovative methods are being employed to recycle and upscale wind turbine blades. These include mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, and repurposing.

In India, wind turbine blades are generally composed of fibreglass, which is notoriously difficult to recycle. They are typically constructed with multiple layers, often making them hollow with internal structures for strength, rather than being solid.

At iLEAD Institute Kolkata, our “Waste to Wealth” initiative focuses on environmental sustainability and fostering entrepreneurship. We encourage the creation of upcycled products from waste materials, turning potential environmental hazards into valuable resources.

Innovative Use of Fibreglass Wind Turbine Blades

Our team has successfully repurposed discarded fibreglass wind turbine blades. Given that fibreglass cannot be easily destroyed or recycled, we found a unique application: reinforcing embankments. In India, many rivers and water bodies flood, damaging crops and villages. We have used wind turbine blades as barriers to strengthen embankments in flood-prone areas like Murshidabad and the Sunderbans.

Advantages of Using Fibreglass Blades for Embankments

· Durability: Fibreglass is incredibly strong and resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal material for flood barriers.

· Cost-Effectiveness: Repurposing blades reduces waste and provides a cost-effective solution for flood management.

· Environmental Impact: Utilizing existing materials helps reduce the carbon footprint associated with producing new materials.

We have also applied for a patent for this innovative use, highlighting the potential for discarded materials to be transformed into valuable resources.

The importance of reducing consumption, reusing resources, and recycling waste cannot be overstated. By rethinking our perception of waste as an untapped resource, we unlock the potential for novel and inventive solutions to environmental challenges.

Please find the expert quote from Dr. Ashok Mittal, Chancellor, LPU:

The recent policy by the UGC opens up exciting opportunities for students seeking to explore different fields or switch institutions without wasting valuable time. By allowing biannual admissions, students have the flexibility to make informed decisions about their education and seamlessly transition to another program or institution after just six months. This not only empowers students to pursue their passions but also enhances their overall learning experience. Moreover, this policy benefits institutions by maximizing their enrollment capacity and efficiently utilizing their resources throughout the year. By catering to students with diverse schedules and preferences, institutes can attract a broader range of applicants, further solidifying their reputation as student-centric institutions dedicated to fostering individual growth and success.”

Dr.H.B.Raghavendra, Vice Chancellor, CMR University Bengaluru:

India embracing the global policy of admitting students twice a year is a good move to enhance the GER (Gross Enrollment Ratio). However, the complexity of state and central policy on education also impacts the success of this policy. Overall, this is a step towards bringing education to everyone and making it flexible to address social needs and opportunities.
