The SPYRUS advanced Suite B security products consist of the LYNKS Hardware Security Module, regarded as the most cost-effective advanced HSM for issuing and managing electronic identities, the Hydra PC, and Rosetta security devices. All SPYRUS security devices are RoHS-compliant. The Rosetta and Hydra PC products provide tamper-resistant protection for keys and enable strong, two-factor authentication capabilities, a prerequisite for trusted electronic commerce. Both products differentiate from the competition by being the only hardware-based security devices to be approved by the US Government Data at Rest program to protect sensitive information on removable storage media, making them the ideal choice of security for all Government agencies, state and local governments, and NATO.
