Swissbit to Debut at Black Hat USA 2025
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Swissbit, a leading manufacturer of storage and security solutions, will make its debut at Black Hat USA on August 6–7, 2025, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. At booth #6025, Swissbit will showcase its unique approach to cybersecurity – protecting the often-neglected physical layer of connected systems, from IoT and industrial equipment to critical infrastructure and edge devices. All Swissbit products, including its latest security innovations, are manufactured in Germany to ensure a transparent supply chain, industrial-grade quality, and trusted reliability. Exposing the hidden risk: physical access to embedded systems While much focus is placed on cloud and AI infrastructure, a critical security gap remains: Physical attacks on embedded and edge systems. Often deployed in remote or exposed environments, these systems are vulnerable to tampering and data theft. From smart meters and PLCs to drones, the consequences can be serious. Swissbit addresses this threat with plug-and-play, hardware-based solutions that secure both new and legacy systems, without the need for major redesigns. 'We're excited to bring Swissbit's expertise to Black Hat for the first time,' said Claus Gründel, General Manager Security Solutions at Swissbit. 'Physical attacks are a growing risk that many still underestimate. We provide easy-to-integrate, hardware-based security that protects systems and data at the edge, where software alone isn't enough.' Hardware-based protection for data and devices At Black Hat, Swissbit will demonstrate secure storage products such as microSD cards with AES-256 encryption and secure boot capabilities. These solutions retrofit embedded systems and protect edge-generated data like video and sensor streams from unauthorized access. By enabling compliance with regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and NIS2, Swissbit offers a future-proof path to stronger, more sustainable cybersecurity. Bridging digital and physical access with iShield Key 2 Also featured at the Swissbit booth: the new iShield Key 2 series -compact security keys that combine FIDO-based multi-protocol authentication with physical access control. Tailored for enterprise and government use, they integrate secure login and facility entry into a single, robust solution for digital identity and access protection.

The CyberShark Pitch Competition is an annual event series designed for emerging cybersecurity companies to pitch the unique value proposition of their solution directly to Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and receive honest, constructive feedback on their messaging, positioning, and product-market fit. Initially launched in 2024, 12 companies competed during gatherings at RSA Conference and Black Hat USA to prove to CISOs from the CyberRisk Collaborative community and the broader cybersecurity ecosystem why their approach to solving a particular challenge shouldn't be overlooked – with just a 7-minute pitch. "Standing out in a crowded market is hard enough, and getting solutions directly in front of CISOs and decision makers can be near impossible. CyberShark is designed to be a two-way street, a mutually beneficial experience for both vendors and CISOs," said Wayne Schepens, Founder and Managing Director of LaunchTech Communications and Chief Cyber Market Analyst at CRA. "Our team is proud to serve as a connector of innovative solutions and fresh perspectives; creating a collaborative feedback loop where CISOs can evaluate cutting edge products in a low-pressure environment and vendors can gain immediate reactions to their approach." 2024 CyberShark Pitch Competition Winners & Finalists Based on the feedback and tabulated votes of over 50 CISO judges, the following two companies have earned the title of 2024 CyberShark Pitch Winner: Zero Networks – Effortless and effective zero trust microsegmentation Nucleus Security – Vulnerability and exposure management platform The following companies were among the finalists in the last stage of the 2024 competition: Brinqa – Unified Exposure Management Platform BlueFlag Security – Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Security and Governance platform Votiro – Zero-trust content and data security platform Uptycs – Cloud security platform for large hybrid cloud environments ADAMnetworks – Proactive, zero-trust security solutions provider Nominations are Open for the 2025 CyberShark Pitch Competition The 2025 CyberShark Pitch Competition event programming will operate as follows: The first opportunity to pitch CISO judges in person will take place during the 2025 RSA Conference, from which two finalists will advance.

Those four finalists will go head-to-head in the final round of the competition, which will take place virtually as part of a live broadcast in the fall of 2025. A benefit of making it to the final virtual event is that all 2,000+ members of CyberRisk Collaborative are invited to participate as judges. The potential for exposure to a broad CISO audience for the four finalists is invaluable. "We are so grateful to the members of our CISO community for their willingness to give back to the cybersecurity community as CyberShark judges. While they may very well benefit from discovering a solution that could be a game changer for their security posture, they are generously offering time to provide constructive feedback to each emerging vendor selected to pitch in this event program," added Chris Ancharski, Head of National Engagement and Recruitment, CyberRisk Collaborative.
