The SPYRUS advanced Suite B security products consist of the
LYNKS Hardware Security Module, regarded as the most cost-effective advanced
HSM for issuing and managing electronic identities, the Hydra PC, and Rosetta

Government Data at Rest program to protect sensitive information on removable
storage media, making them the ideal choice of security for all Government
agencies, state and local governments, and NATO.

solutions," said Carlos Moreira, CEO and founder of WISeKey. "The combination
of our products and services positions our partnership to provide the highest
