RSA, the security-first identity leader and Swissbit, a long-standing leading expert and manufacturer of storage, security, and embedded IoT solutions, announced a new, next-generation hardware authenticator series today designed to protect highly regulated industries.

“The worst attacks demand the best defenses. That’s why security-first leaders have trusted RSA for decades to defend them from the most damaging cyberattacks. By working with a leader like Swissbit, we can expand our unified identity platform and deliver innovations like the RSA iShield Key 2 that provide a broader range of capabilities, all fortified by the security depth unique to RSA,” said Rohit Ghai, CEO, RSA.

“To secure their operations and stay operational, leaders in finance, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing need strong, phishing resistant capabilities built to enable users and resist modern attacks. Together, Swissbit and RSA are bringing those innovations to the private sector organizations that need them most,” said Silvio Muschter, CEO of Swissbit AG.
