Semi-industrial trials to commence in the next phase of the EU Digital Watermarks Initiative, driven by AIM – European Brands Association, and powered by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

BEAVERTON, Ore., Sept. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Digimarc Corporation (Nasdaq: DMRC) announces today it has entered semi-industrial trials, the next stage of development for intelligent waste sorting as part of the Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0., driven by AIM, the European Brands Association, and powered by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

With the commencement of semi-industrial trials, HolyGrail 2.0 is on track to launch the highly anticipated phase of in-market demonstrations and industrial-scale trials, with the potential for digitally watermarked products to be added to stores in Denmark, France, and Germany by the first half of 2022.

As the selected digital watermarks technology provider, Digimarc is working with the two machine vendors, Pellenc ST and Tomra, to develop add-on modules for their detection sorting units. Testing is scheduled to take place via trials in two test locations in October 2021. Demonstrations of the prototype sorting detection unit will happen at Amager Resource Centre (ARC) in Copenhagen on October 19 and November 18, 2021. Interested stakeholders can register here.

This milestone marks the second year of the HolyGrail 2.0 project, which has grown to include over 130 companies and organizations across the complete packaging value chain.

About Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0
The Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0 – driven by AIM – European Brands Association and powered by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste – is a pilot project with the objective to prove the technical viability of digital watermarks for accurate sorting of packaging waste as well as the economic viability of the business case at large-scale. Digital watermarks are imperceptible codes, the size of a postage stamp, covering the surface of a consumer goods packaging and carrying a wide range of attributes. The aim is that once the packaging has entered into a waste sorting facility, the digital watermark can be detected and decoded by a high-resolution camera on the sorting line, which then – based on the transferred attributes (e.g. food vs. non-food) – is able to sort the packaging in corresponding streams. This would result in better and more accurate sorting streams, thus consequently in higher quality recyclates benefiting the complete packaging value chain.

– Seamlessly integrates with popular CI/CD pipeline toolsets

MINEOLA, N.Y., Sept. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — RevBits, a software provider for a complete 360-degree cyber defense, today announced availability of its CI/CD Access Management module, further enhancing RevBits feature-rich Privileged Access Management solution.

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), enables software developers and DevOps teams to meet the high demands and dynamic requirements of users. These two combined methodologies create a CI/CD pipeline, enabling DevOps to deliver software updates more frequently and reliably. However, without enough oversight, or security as a key requirement, they come with potential security risks.

Building upon its technology leadership in the access management marketplace, RevBits has added, what Gartner considers, an advanced PAM feature to its solution. RevBits’ PAM with CI/CD Access Management, expands the capabilities of system administrators to more fully manage and control secrets access.

“CI/CD Access Management was built to address the unique scalability and agility challenges associated with authenticating, authorizing, and auditing secrets within DevOps environments,” said David Schiffer, CEO at RevBits. “As a module within our advanced PAM solution, CI/CD enables enterprises to reduce security and compliance risk associated with secrets sprawl, while improving productivity.”

When DevOps create an app for a testing, staging, or production server, they often include secrets. These can be credentials or security keys, which authenticate data associated with an API, application, SSH, certificate, etc. RevBits secrets manager, can be audited and centrally managed to protect and control secrets.

“Using a secrets manager plugin within CI/CD environments is a more secure approach. Applying common DevOps tools, like Jenkins, Kubernetes, and others, developers can configure the variables, and associate them with the location and values they imputed for the secrets,” said Mucteba Celik, CTO at RevBits. “By continuing to add to our PAM solution, with modules like CI/CD Access Management, RevBits continues to deliver the tools enterprises need to protect their valuable assets, networks, applications, and services.”

RevBits CI/CD Access Management feature highlights

• RevBits secrets manager, can be audited and centrally managed to protect and control secrets.
• Keeps secrets encrypted and delivers them to CI/CD plugins when needed over SSL, with an additional layer of encryption that employs Diffie-Hellman to establish the secure key exchange.
• Supports Jenkins, Puppet, Terraform, OpenShift, Ansible, Docker, Cloud Foundry, and Kubernetes with future tools under development.
