Identity & Access Management Leader Versasec Celebrates 10 Years in Business

STOCKHOLM - Oct. 11, 2017 - PRLog -- Versasec, the leader in smart card and virtual smart card management systems, celebrated the 10-year-anniversary of the company's founding at an all-company meeting in Berlin.

Among the items highlighted during the gathering were the following significant milestones:
* Expanding global presence - Since its incorporation in Stockholm as Versatile Security Sweden AB in 2007, the company has added offices around the world, including the United States (the company was incorporated in the US in 2015), Germany, Dubai, The United Kingdom and France. Later this year, it will be opening an office in Singapore. The company's name was officially changed to Versasec in 2015.
* Profitability - Versasec achieved profitability in 2014 and has been achieving significant growth year-over-year since then, with an average yearly increase in sales since 2012 of 58 percent per year. The company secured its first round of funding from Swedish investors ALMI Invest and STOAF in 2011.
* High-growth regions and industries - In 2017 alone, the company announced its rapid expansion in Germany where adoption of the vSEC:CMS product suite is expected to grow by more than 300 percent during this calendar year. Globally, the company's products are widely adopted in a variety of industries including government entities, healthcare, finance, energy, automotive, aerospace and defense, IT services and hardware, retail, telecommunications, media, legal and others.
* Product innovation - The very first vSEC:CMS was released in 2009; it was a free tool that enabled basic smart card administration functions such as admin key changes, PIN changes and certificate imports. Today, the company is readying vSEC:CMS 5.0, which has thousands of users and hundreds of thousands of installed seats around the world. The original products were based on physical smart cards, but the company has broadened its reach to include other authentication credentials such as YubiKeys and virtual smart cards.
* Partnerships - Over the years, Versasec has added a variety of partners to its roster, including recent additions cryptovision, SoftShell, and CRC3d, as well as longer-term partners such as Gemalto, Yubico, PrimeKey, Cogito Group, DigiCert, ZiggTV, IDpendant, Logosoft, IDK Sistemas, RECRO-NET, 3SR, CINOVASI and others.

"I can't say enough good things about our hard-working team and our dedicated partners who listen to the needs of customers so we can meet their requirements every day," said Joakim Thorén, Versasec CEO. "After 10 years in business, our goals remain the same: ensuring the ability of companies of all sizes to securely manage their remote security devices, and making our strong authentication management tools even stronger and easier to use."
