Sectra first with EU-approved voice crypto for mobile communications

The Council of the European Union has approved Sectra’s crypto product Tiger XS for the exchange of EU classified information. Tiger XS is approved for communication up to and including the high security level – SECRET UE.

”The EU approval is significant in our focus on the European government market,” says, Jan-Olof Brüer, President and CEO of Sectra. ”We are the first to receive an EU approval for this type of encryption product, providing us an advantageous position for selling the Tiger XS to the EU as an organization and to the member countries.”

Crypto products used for transmission of security-classified information within the EU must be security approved. Before a product is approved, it undergoes an extensive technical evaluation by two of the EU member countries. Tiger XS was reviewed and evaluated by the security authorities in the Netherlands and Germany. The decision to approve the encryption product for communication of EU classified information was then taken by the EU’s decision-making and legislating body, the Council of the European Union.

Tiger XS, Sectra’s latest generation of Tiger products, is a personal voice encryptor that protects mobile and fixed telecommunications. The product is used by government authorities and defense customers and has been approved by the EU and several national security and accreditation bodies in Europe.
