INSIDE Secure to Sell Its Semiconductor Business to Swiss Cybersecurity Expert WISeKey

INSIDE Secure (Paris:INSD), a leader in embedded security solutions for mobile and connected devices, today announced it is about to reach an agreement to sell its semiconductor business to WISeKey International Holding Ltd, a Swiss cybersecurity company listed in Zurich (SIX Swiss Exchange market: WIHN), for an enterprise value of CHF 13 million ($13.2 million), net of transferred cash.

The completion of the contemplated transaction would mark the final step in the repositioning of INSIDE Secure as a software security and technology licensing company, as announced on February 25, 2016. The company’s entire focus will be on software security serving primarily the expanding payment and mobile banking markets, and licensing embedded security technologies that serve the IoT markets

WISeKey is an existing customer of INSIDE Secure in the field of anti-counterfeiting solutions. The combination of WISeKey and INSIDE Secure’s semiconductor business would enable the creation of a comprehensive cybersecurity vertical trusted platform combining hardware, crypto and software and will reinforce the positioning of WISeKey as a cybersecurity IoT player. Ongoing support and solutions would be provided to existing INSIDE Secure semiconductor customers for existing products and development projects to ensure a smooth transition. For the full article click here
