New features enable simplified management of calendars, including Google, Outlook, and iCloud

CalendarBridge the market leader in calendar syncing between Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Outlook, iCloud, and more, today announced that it has added Batch Sync Creation and a Unified Calendar View to its calendar synchronizing software. These new features enable simplified calendar management, furthering the company’s mission of removing the complexity of managing multiple calendars. Users can now synchronize calendars from Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Outlook, iCloud, and benefit from seeing all their meetings in a single interface, with a quick, simple and secure workflow to merge calendars. 

 

“Managing multiple calendars shouldn’t feel like a full-time job,” explained Paul Everton, Executive Chairman of CalendarBridge. “That’s what’s driving us to innovate. With Batch Sync Creation, you’re saving time and reducing friction whenever you need to make changes across multiple accounts. With Unified Calendar View, you stay focused and organized without juggling different apps or browser windows. Together, these tools deliver a cleaner, smarter, and more streamlined way to manage your time.”

Batch Sync Creation enables users to set up bidirectional connections in a single step, without giving up the ability to customize each one individually. Even when creating syncs in bulk, users maintain full control. Each connection can be configured with its own tags, filters, privacy settings, and sync direction, so users’ calendars stay organized and meaningful at a glance, even when events are flowing in from multiple sources.

Unified Calendar View brings everything together in one familiar calendar interface that is similar to those on popular platforms. Unified Calendar View can display all calendars connected to the user’s account. Unified Calendar View platform refreshes calendars more frequently than other solutions, so users always see the most current version.

DuoKey to Unveil Encrypted Financial Intelligence Use Case at GISEC Global 2025: A Breakthrough in Fraud Detection Powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption and MPC-based KMS

Published

By

Dubai, UAE, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Cloud security leader DuoKey will unveil its groundbreaking use case for encrypted financial intelligence at GISEC Global in Dubai next week. Designed to address the challenges of fraud detection and regulatory compliance, this approach, which combines Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC)-based Key Management (KMS), allows financial institutions to analyse encrypted transactions in real time without ever decrypting sensitive data.

In a global financial landscape where illicit transactions exceed $2 trillion annually and compliance fines topped $10.4 billion on a yearly basis according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes, DuoKey confidential AI use case for the financial sector demonstrates how financial institutions can securely process high-risk transaction patterns, perform watchlist screening and assess customer risk profile, while preserving end-to-end encryption and maintaining jurisdictional data control.

“Traditional approaches expose data during analysis, creating systemic security gaps,” said Nagib Aouini, CEO of DuoKey. “Our use case shows how FHE and MPC-based KMS together allow financial institutions to detect fraud, meet AML obligations and collaborate securely without any compromise on data confidentiality or sovereignty.”

DuoKey financial intelligence solution enables secure collaboration between banks, regulators, and fintech providers by allowing cross-border investigation and compliance workflows without revealing underlying customer data. This addresses a longstanding roadblock to industry-wide fraud detection while complying with privacy and regulatory standards such as GDPR, FATF, and PCI DSS.

Visitors to GISEC Global will get the opportunity to explore the live use case at the DuoKey booth (D-120, Hall 6) starting on May 6 until May 8. Schedule your personalised demo at GISEC Global to see how DuoKey financial intelligence enhances fraud detection and compliance. Demonstrations include real-time transaction scoring, encrypted rule-based screening and dynamic anti money laundering (AML) analytics all with performance benchmarks that rival traditional unencrypted systems.

About DuoKey

DuoKey is an enterprise cloud security leader specialised in key management and encryption, helping businesses leverage cloud and AI capabilities with true confidence using advanced encryption technologies.
