Trustonic is a world-leading cybersecurity company that provides advanced technology systems to drive innovation, protect revenue, and enhance security for technology companies globally. The company's mission is to increase the affordability of smartphones, improve access to digital services, and secure and protect data. Trustonic was initially created from a joint venture between ARM, Gemalto (now part of Thales), and G&D in 2012. It is now an EMK Capital portfolio company. Trustonic's patented security technology is embedded in approximately 2 billion devices worldwide.
Trustonic offers two main platforms: a Device Locking platform and a Secure OS (Operating System). The Telecoms Platform provides sophisticated device locking capabilities to help mobile network carriers, retailers, and financiers protect revenue and reduce risk by improving payment behavior and deterring supply chain theft. The Secure Platform, installed in billions of devices globally, gives automakers, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and IoT (Internet of Things) vendors the confidence to innovate and meet international security standards. This platform utilizes a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a hardware-based security enclave within a device's main processor that ensures sensitive data is stored, processed, and protected in an isolated, trusted environment. Trustonic's TEE technology is the only open TEE available, allowing third-party applications to be provisioned after a device has been deployed. The company's solutions are used by leading car manufacturers, financial institutions, mobile operators, and every tier-one Android handset manufacturer. Trustonic's technology secures critical applications for banks, fintechs, payment providers, cryptocurrency platforms, automotive manufacturers, and government bodies.
The company fosters a collaborative and inclusive culture, with a diverse international team possessing technical and commercial skills from the cybersecurity, banking, mobile, and automotive industries. Trustonic is committed to limiting its impact on the environment through initiatives like plastic-free programs and renewable energy generation. They also support strategic partner charities chosen by their employees. Trustonic is headquartered in Cambridge, UK, and has offices in multiple international locations.
