GlobalSign and ID-Security Mark a Decade of Collaboration
LEUVEN, Belgium & ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GlobalSign NV/SA, a global Certificate Authority (CA) and leading provider of identity security, digital signing and IoT solutions, has successfully been working with Swiss-based ID-Security for nearly ten years. The software developer, system integrator and managed services provider began its partnership with GMO GlobalSign after determining it required a CA capable of providing the highest level of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services. "Celebrating 10 Years of Collaboration, GMO GlobalSign and ID-Security Continue to Drive PKI Excellence with Combined CLM and Email Gateway Solutions." Building on nearly a decade of strategic technology alliance, the integration of GMO GlobalSign's Atlas platform with ID-Security's CEMA solution continues to deliver exceptional value to organizations seeking robust, scalable, automated identity and certificate lifecycle management. As a trusted engine for identity and PKI services, Atlas seamlessly provisions CEMA's advanced Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) capabilities with publicly trusted and private TLS or Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) certificates to enable identity-based security as the basis for a zero-trust model. 'Certificate management has become increasingly complex in recent years. Shorter certificate lifespans, combined with the growing number of endpoints and compliance requirements, have made manual processes unsustainable,' said Thomas Weber, Managing Director, ID-Security. 'This is exactly why the market needs scalable and automated solutions. With our managed services for CipherMail and the CEMA Certificate Lifecycle Management platform, we are able to on-board new customers rapidly and cost-efficiently. Combined with the Atlas API from GMO GlobalSign, which we started using several years ago, we have a modern and user-friendly toolset that not only meets today's automation demands that also accelerates integration and delivers immediate operational value.' This collaboration is further enhanced by the inclusion of Dutch email security provider CipherMail's Secure Email Gateway, which adds a critical layer of secure email encryption and policy enforcement. The combination of ID-Security's certificate lifecycle management tool, CEMA, and CipherMail's Secure email gateway, along with GMO GlobalSign's Atlas platform enables customers to directly request and distribute TLS and S/MIME certificates to where they need to be. This results in an easy-to-deploy PKI-based zero trust model with a strong end-to-end solution for email security. At a time when email-based phishing attacks are growing, this extra level of protection to secure data in transit is critical. 'Customers continue to seek a unified, 'single pane of glass' solution to manage their certificates. Through GMO GlobalSign's close collaboration and seamless integration with ID-Security and CipherMail this is exactly what is being delivered - a combined solution providing CLM features, email signing and encryption in one streamlined interface,' said Andreas Brix, Senior Program Manager, GlobalSign. 'This comprehensive ecosystem not only simplifies compliance with industry regulations and internal security policies, but also significantly reduces the risk of data breaches and identity-based attacks.'

A city of birds: Delhi's first urban atlas completes a year
Delhi Bird Atlas data is open and contributed to the eBird global platform 'It takes a flock to spot city's birds,' suggests Delhi Bird Atlas' presentation, mapping the one-year journey. From drains to wetlands, a year-long effort led by citizens is transforming how the capital sees its ecology. The Delhi Bird Atlas, a city-wide initiative to systematically document the capital's avifauna, marked the completion of its first full year this week, with a gathering of over 150 birders, forest officials, researchers, and NGOs at the WWF Auditorium, Lodhi Road. In just 12 months, the Atlas has mobilised over 200 volunteers, generated 1150 eBird checklists, and mapped more than 221 bird species across wetlands, ridge forests, drains, urban villages, slums, and high-rise colonies. The ecological transformation is powered not by high-tech labs or satellite imagery, but by binoculars, bird checklists and citizen resolve. 'The data is a testament to the commitment of the Delhi birding community' You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Delivering the keynote address at the event, Shyam Sunder Kandpal, IFS, Delhi's Chief Wildlife Warden, called the Atlas "one of the most comprehensive citizen science efforts ever undertaken in an Indian city,' emphasising the Forest Department's commitment to support and scale the initiative in its second year. He added, 'Delhi Bird Atlas has our full support. This data will be important in the coming days and is a testament to the enthusiasm and commitment of Delhi birding community and citizens who deeply care about the biodiversity of the national capital. ' Jabestin A, IFS Conservator of Delhi Forests, said, 'I have been part of other bird atlases in India, but the Delhi Bird Atlas is unique as it has managed to cover 100 per cent of the subcells in the first year in itself. The dedication of the birders is visible in the outcome, and the Atlas is showing us how cities like Delhi can build powerful ecological datasets through local knowledge and collaborative design.' Unlike one-off bird counts, the Atlas follows a seasonal, grid-based methodology that enables researchers to track temporal trends, habitat-level changes, and migratory patterns with greater resolution. The data is open and contributed to the eBird global platform, making Delhi one of few megacities with a growing public dataset on urban birdlife. Delhi Bird Atlas in a citizen science initiative to map Delhi's avian diversity The event, titled Delhi Bird Atlas: Year One in Review – A Celebration of Citizen Science, featured: • Highlights from winter and summer surveys • A citizen science quiz with participation from first-time volunteers to seasoned ecologists • Visual displays of species trends and urban cluster data • Discussions on community-driven monitoring and atlas expansion into RWAs, schools, and ward-level planning This is field ecology, ground-up, happening in the middle of one of India's most important urban spaces Dr Akash Gulalia one of the senior birders. The event closed with a felicitation of core volunteers, team leads, and partners — including Bird Count India, Delhi Forest Department, WWF-India, Wildlife SOS, and Asian Adventures, with a promise to engage more volunteers in its second year. With its replicable format, low-cost implementation, and strong local ownership, the Delhi Bird Atlas now stands as a living model for urban biodiversity monitoring in India. Supported by organisations including Delhi Forest Department, Bird Count India, WWF-India, delhibird Foundation, Dial (Delhi International Airport Limited), Asian Adventures, Wildlife SOS, and other conservation partners, the Delhi Bird Atlas promises to be a landmark initiative for the city. Pankaj Gupta, a seasoned birder, who is leading the DBA, took the gathering through the process by which Delhi Bird Atlas, a citizen science initiative aimed at systematically documenting the bird diversity of Delhi, works. The cluster leads and volunteers map habitats through regular, structured surveys and standardised data collection. Conducted across a grid-based mapping system, the Atlas seeks to generate robust, long-term datasets that help monitor population trends, habitat usage, and species distribution. Organised by a collaboration of birdwatchers, researchers and conservation organisations and the government, the atlas project also aims to promote awareness about urban biodiversity and contribute valuable insights for conservation planning and ecological management in the Delhi region.

Cruz Azul stuck in a poor run against Atlas
Cruz Azul accumulated their sixth consecutive match without being able to beat Atlas, being the worst streak of the club against the red and blacks in Liga MX. Eduardo Aguirre has been key in this hegemony, participating in 60% of Atlas' goals in five of those matches. It all started in the Clausura 2023 repechage, shortly before Aguirre was announced as a reinforcement for the sky blue team. However, after failing the medical exams, his arrival at Cruz Azul was frustrated and he ended up signing with Atlas. Since then, 'Mudo' has become a nightmare for La Máquina, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the last five encounters. He only missed the first one of this streak, when he was not yet playing with the Tapatíos. Aguirre was not the only frustrated signing, as Matheus Dória was also close to arriving that summer of 2023. The Brazilian, although he played less, also left his mark with a goal against Cruz Azul on Matchday 2 of the Apertura 2025. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Atlas Space Operations activates new ground station in Rwanda
The Rwanda ground station receives data from six COSMIC-2 satellites, which continuously measure the Earths atmosphere and ionosphere using radio occultation. Atlas Space Operations has announced the activation of its latest ground station in Mwulire, Rwanda. This strategic expansion marks a major enhancement to the companys global ground network and significantly improves the capabilities of the COSMIC-2 satellite mission, which supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in monitoring global weather and space weather conditions. The newly activated Rwandan antenna receives data from six COSMIC-2 satellites. These satellites continuously measure atmospheric and ionospheric conditions through a process called radio occultation, providing NOAA with critical real-time data essential for accurate forecasting. Given the constantly changing nature of atmospheric and ionospheric activity, Atlas is tasked with delivering this data to NOAA in under 60 seconds, a performance standard the company consistently meets. Rwanda's geographical location makes it a key asset in supporting the COSMIC-2 constellation, allowing for an ideal number of satellite contacts. The ground station in Mwulire now complements Atlass existing infrastructure in Ghana and Tahiti, reinforcing the resilience and reach of the overall network. The establishment of the Rwandan station was initiated at NOAAs request and made possible through Atlass partnership with the Rwanda Space Agency. Corey Geer, CEO of Atlas Space Operations, said: 'The activation of our new antenna in Rwanda is a testament to the strength of our partnership with the Rwanda Space Agency and commitment to growing our network to best serve our customers. This strategic addition significantly enhances our ability to deliver critical COSMIC-2 data, ensuring that NOAA receives the vital information they need for accurate and timely atmospheric and ionospheric monitoring.' Atlas currently supports over 3,000 satellite contacts per month across its global network. From July 2019 through May 31, 2025, the company has successfully managed 156,653 NOAA satellite contacts while maintaining an impressive ground station availability rate of 99.36%.
