This includes customer-specific system customization of Nitrokey products and their integration in your own system environments. Furthermore, we help you with concept, development and certification of your specific security solutions.
In addition to that, our portfolio consists of Subscription and Fulfillment Business Services, the secure laptop NitroPad for high security requirements, the messenger NitroChat, the video conference service Nitrokey Meet, and the data destruction service NitroShred.
Security Requires Open Source
In the last decades, countless incidents became public and showed that proprietary IT systems had severe vulnerabilities or even backdoors. The Snowden revelations gave us clarity about how backdoors are even being implemented intentionally in critical IT systems. As long as IT systems are proprietary, backdoors can remain undetected for a long time. That is why we at Nitrokey focus on Open Source and make our software and hardware developments available to the public. This enables our users as well as independent third parties to check and audit the security of Nitrokey products.
