Grupo Oesía creates Cipherbit: the first Spanish brand that combines communications encryption and cybersecurity
Grupo Oesía, a 100% privately owned Spanish multinational company dedicated to industrial and digital engineering, has launched Cipherbit, the first Spanish brand specifically dedicated to cybersecurity and the development of secure communications products (encryption), incorporating quantum technology.
Cipherbit is the evolution of one of the main capabilities in which the Spanish technology company is a leader, Security, backed by more than 45 years of experience gained in the most demanding national and international environments, such as encrypted tactical communications in NATO operations.
Cipherbit is formed by a team of 140 people from the areas of Cybersecurity and Tactical and Encrypted Communications of Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía. They are professionals with extensive experience in the securisation (strategy, monitoring and incident response, security testing, cyber-training) of Armed Forces, as well as in Public Administrations and critical infrastructures, such as health organisations, Ministries of Justice or Foreign Affairs, telecommunications facilities and banking systems.
This new brand of the group, which brings together the entire encryption and cybersecurity business, designs and develops customised solutions to identify, detect, protect, respond to and recover information, one of the most important assets of organisations and states.
"Faced with such a delicate scenario as the current one, in which Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum, the Internet of Things (IoT) or cyberwarfare, have positioned our country and the rest of the free democracies facing a major challenge, our company, an expert in the design and development of services and cybersecurity and secure communications products (encryption), had to take a step forward," says Alfredo Díez, COO of Cipherbit.
The Oesía Group highlights the endorsement that its work has received in recent years from the main national official agencies, such as the National Cryptologic Centre (CCN) and international agencies such as NATO, which have granted them the highest certifications.
"With Cipherbit we reinforce our strategic autonomy as a country and, at the same time, our exporting capacity", says Luis Furnells, executive president of the company.
Cipherbit joins the other brands of the Oesía Group, such as Tecnobit, UAVNavigation and Inster, strengthening its presence in the Spanish business panorama in the technological and digital engineering sector.
