Swissbit promotes a real security product line

Swissbit, the European leader in SSD and Flash media, started to extend its product line and address some security needs with dedicated products that leverage their expertise in flash. The idea is to provide some cybersecurity and trusted solutions to their partners and thus users in our world becoming more and more digitalized. This initiative has been launched in 2013.

This security solution line targets authentication, access control and identify management leveraging flash and ubiquitous devices. It means also to secure data and process such as secure boot or encryption to guarantee safe IT operations against cyberattacks.

And it makes really sense when you consider some synergies with embedded storage in automative vehicles for instance. all info is stored on plenty dispersed small devices and requires some security techniques both on the storage aspect but also on the access one.

The German company developed a MFA - multi-factor authentication - aligned with FIDO2. It is instantiated with iShield Key FIDO2 and Pro flavors and the new coming one, the iShield Key MIFARE. Force to comply with US, European and global regulations, the firm has released a security upgrade kit with encryption and access control for MicroSD/SD cards. The encryption uses a real time AES 256 bits and also the memory is based on industrial grade pSLC to improve endurance.

For government segments, RSA and Swissbit join forces to provide the RSA iShield Key 2 series and we expect new models in 2025.
