Securosys SA: European Strategic-Technological Analysis
Securosys SA is a Swiss cybersecurity specialist best known for its Primus hardware security modules (HSMs) and encryption software. Founded in Zurich (c. 2014), the company developed a range of HSM appliances and cloud services to securely generate, store, and manage cryptographic keys[1][2]. Its products serve financial networks, government agencies, and enterprises needing high-assurance encryption and key management. In recent years Securosys has expanded globally with offices in Europe, Asia, and North America[2][3]. Notably, it secures the Swiss interbank clearing system (SIC) under Swiss National Bank oversight, illustrating its role in critical infrastructure[2]. As Europe intensifies efforts to bolster strategic autonomy in dual-use technologies, Securosys’s Swiss-made HSM solutions are increasingly relevant to EU/NATO goals for cyber resilience and secure communications. This analysis examines Securosys’s strategic and technological profile in the context of European defense priorities, its contributions to interoperability and deterrence, and the remaining gaps relative to EU/NATO technology needs.
