In 2018, HENSOLDT and Secure Elements jointly created the new innovative startup HENSOLDT Cyber. HENSOLDT Cyber, located in Munich, addresses the large and growing challenges related to the security of embedded IT and cyber-physical systems in a novel way. Our approach is based on a motivated team, secure hardware designs based on an RISC-V processor, novel techniques for secure production, combined with mathematically proven software and close collaboration with world-leading scientists. This results in a trustworthy base for highly-secure IoT systems, supporting “plug and trust” strategies.
