Swissbit is expanding its range of authentication solutions with a unique innovation: the iShield Key MIFARE. The new hardware security key is the first of its kind to combine the advantages of a FIDO Security Key with the NFC technology MIFARE DESFire EV3. The iShield Key MIFARE thus opens up a wide range of applications that go far beyond traditional user authentication and set new standards, particularly in the field of smart access control. The iShield Key MIFARE is available now.

With the Security Upgrade Kit, Swissbit offers a user-friendly and secure solution that protects embedded systems and complies with relevant cybersecurity regulations. The kit includes an industrial-grade microSD card as well as appropriate documentation, software, and tools. It offers hardware-based access control, real-time data encryption with AES 256, and customizable protection profiles. Areas of application include the copy protection of sensitive data and the protection of system integrity through Secure Boot.

REINER SCT is entering into a strategic partnership with Swissbit. As part of the cooperation, REINER SCT will distribute the security keys of the Swissbit iShield Key family in the future. In addition, the digital security expert is adding the REINER SCT FIDO Stick Pro, developed and produced by Swissbit, the first FIDO2 security key of its own, to its portfolio. The cooperation aims to promote the spread of FIDO technology as a phishing-resistant authentication method and to make it accessible to an even broader customer base.

Swissbit is proud to announce its first-ever participation in Supercomputing 2024 (SC24), taking place November 17-22 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. As a major international conference dedicated to high-performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, SC24 provides an ideal platform for Swissbit to present its latest innovations in storage technology. Attendees can visit Swissbit at booth 617, where the company will be highlighting its state-of-the-art PCIe solutions, including the PCIe Gen5 D2200 series and the N3000 series.

MTRIX GmbH, one of the leading experts for professional authentication solutions in the DACH region, and Swissbit have entered into a sales partnership. Effective immediately, MTRIX is expanding its product portfolio to include the FIDO2 security keys from Swissbit’s iShield Key product family. In addition, MTRIX will be the first distribution partner to sell the latest innovation in Swissbit authentication solutions – the iShield Key MIFARE, which will be launched shortly.

…to Secure Government Agencies and Fulfill Federal Cybersecurity Requirements

RSA and Swissbit announced that RSA will start introducing its next-generation hardware authenticators RSA iShield Key 2 series powered by Swissbit alongside RSA® ID Plus for Government. By aligning their efforts with international regulatory bodies, RSA and Swissbit will empower federal agencies and the private sector with secure, user-friendly authentication practices to achieve optimal Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA).

Swissbit introduces its first PCIe Gen5 SSD with the launch of the D2200 series. Designed for enterprise servers and edge data centers, this series offers outstanding performance with up to 14 GB/s for sequential read and 10 GB/s for sequential write. The new SSD also excels in energy efficiency, delivering a sequential read performance of up to 970 MB/s per watt. The D2200 will be available in U.2 and E1.S form factors with storage capacities of 8 TB and 16 TB in late August.

On September 9 and 10, Berlin will become the center of the European semiconductor packaging community, when the 3rd European Packaging, Assembly, and Test-Workshop will take place. The event aims to promote cooperation and strengthen the semiconductor packaging ecosystem in Europe. This year’s EuroPAT-WS is being hosted by Swissbit, which invites workshop participants to take a tour of its electronics production facility.

The new N2000 and N3000 product families primarily address applications that require PCIe performance as well as a balanced ratio of low power consumption and reduced heat generation. Swissbit thus meets the requirements of edge servers and other systems with limited cooling capabilities due to their compact design or whose power consumption is restricted. Security functions such as TCG Opal 2.0 as well as a wide variety of form factors top off the list of features.

Swissbit is proud to participate for the first time in the prestigious Identiverse event taking place from May 28 to May 31, 2024, in Las Vegas. With its conference and exhibition, this important industry event marks a significant milestone for Swissbit as it introduces to the community its cutting-edge iShield Key product series, thereby emphasizing the importance of robust hardware-based authentication in today’s digital age.

Cigent, a leading provider of endpoint data protection solutions, and Swissbit today announced a strategic partnership to offer a comprehensive portfolio of secure storage drives designed to safeguard endpoint data against a growing landscape of cyberthreats. This collaboration addresses the urgent market requirements for improved data security on endpoint devices, where a significant majority of sensitive data resides and is frequently targeted by cyberthreats.

Swissbit is expanding its portfolio of hardware-based security keys with the new iShield Key Pro featuring a USB-C interface. Like its USB-A counterpart, the new model supports the FIDO2 standard as well as the PIV, HOTP and TOTP security protocols. The iShield Key Pro can also be used for physical access control applications, making it one of the most flexible security keys. It is also suitable for implementing security guidelines such as NIS-2, which requires multifactor authentication (MFA) in connection with IT systems for access control.
