INVL Technology contributed to societal change with its projects in 2020

In developing and deploying their products all over the world, the companies that INVL Technology owns contribute to economic well-being and cyber security in the countries where they operate and bolster citizens’ trust in their countries. Solutions which the companies develop help to undertake a range of reforms and projects of national significance related to population registers, safer banking systems and automated solutions.

High-performance computing solutions that the Novian group company Novian Technologieshas deployed in more than ten countries of Southern Africa enable extremely high-speed analysis of large volumes of atmospheric, oceanic, geological, and flora and fauna data, broken down by time period and other factors, for use modelling climate changes in the region. That information helps prepare for possible natural disasters and significantly reduce their impact.

Novian Systems developed software which modernised the census data subsystem of Lithuania’s integrated statistical information system. As a result, data from 19 main government registers and information systems can be used to conduct the 2021 population and housing census. Under the new approach, the country’s 2021 census can be carried out by five specialists, whereas in the past 6,000 interviewers were needed.

In the 2020 Naujasis Knygnešys competition, which identifies top IT solutions to further represent Lithuania in the prestigious UN-sponsored World Summit Awards, a solution developed by the NRD Companies subsidiary NRD Systems and its partners – a personal income tax declaration wizard – won in two categories. It was recognized as the “The Best Solution for Lithuania” and “The Public’s Favourite”. The solution has already started helping people in the country declare their income easily and intelligently, saving time and avoiding mistakes.
During the pandemic that struck last year, companies owned by INVL Technology contributed to bringing the situation under control. “Our company NRD Systems, together with its partners, helped set up a temporary Covid-19 call centre, while Novian Technologies (BAIP) offered free antivirus software installation and licencesfor all Lithuanian healthcare institutions,” Tonkūnas said.

NRD Cyber Security last year conducted projects with the Central Bank of Nigeria, the European Investment Bank (EIB), and Sierra Leone’s National Revenue Authority. Together with the United Nations Office for Project Support (UNOPS), it is consulting on and assessing the Republic of Serbia's cybersecurity ecosystem. And with researchers at Vilniaus Kolegija University of Applied Sciences it is developing a unique system for monitoring and analysing the information space.

NRD Cyber Security is one of Europe’s two Centres of Excellence for Cyber Security for the 2019-2022 cycle and last year successfully delivered a training course on “Building and Managing Cybersecurity Teams” for public and private-sector participants from Nigeria, Croatia, Poland, Romania, Estonia and Lithuania. It has developed a advanced technical CSIRT training course to be taught at national CSIRTs in various countries, and in collaboration with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has published a set of recommendations titled “How To Setup CSIRT and SOC”. The publication offers results-driven guidance on establishing and improving computer security incident response teams.
Tonkūnas notes that INVL Technology works closely with researchers, giving great attention on the process of scientific advancement and the development of ideas. That is why for years now INVL Technology together with the ICT Industry Association INFOBALT and the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences has been awarding prizes to young scientists for the best scientific work on information and communication technologies.
