Stefan Kraus Inducted into Worldwide Who's Who for Excellence in Business Management

    RIVONIA, SOUTH AFRICA, May 30, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stefan Kraus, co-Chief Executive Officer of Tranwall, has been recognized by Worldwide Who's Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in business development and entrepreneurship.
Prior to establishing Tranwall, Stefan, together with Aurelien Duarte, created and successfully brought to market their leading vulnerability management platform, Foresight, competing with both Qualys and McAfee Foundstone. Together, they successfully grew year-on-year revenue and matured the business to being Southern Africa's largest vulnerability management provider with over 1,000,000 annual endpoint audits. In March 2010, the Foresight technology together with the holding company was acquired by Gijima, a publicly traded company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE:GIJ).

Stefan was appointed as co-CEO of Tranwall in January 2013, and is responsible for the companies' growth both locally and internationally. Stefan is tasked with executing the company's mission in building trust in the global payments industry, and driving its vision in becoming the people's choice in transaction control.

Tranwall is a global leader in card-based transactional control technologies. Tranwall makes cardholders key to the card-fraud mitigation process by reducing the window of opportunity for fraud to zero. The technology only involves the issuing bank and the cardholder (ie. a two party model) and can be deployed to existing cards in issue. Users of the Tranwall technology control their credit, debit and in-store cards using their mobile phones (ie. to allow or disallow granular transaction types such as POS transactions, ATM cash withdrawals, online purchases, etc.). Tranwall has worldwide patents on their technology.
Stefan is a veteran in building successful businesses. He has spent more than a decade involved in the security industry. Stefan and his long-time business partner, Aurelien, are embarking on a new journey in the field, revolutionizing how card fraud is controlled and mitigated worldwide. They intend on closing the large-scale gaps they have identified in the market. Stefan aims to stay with Tranwall in the upcoming years and continue building the company into a household name.
