DAVOS, Switzerland, January 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
WISeKey, the Swiss digital security company has become a Global Growth Company Partner
of the 2012 World Economic Forum. WISeKey is the first startup in Switzerland to become a

WISeKey and the OISTE Foundation are finalizing a digital security task force created

The Swiss Digital Security Task Force (SDSTF) will engage organizations to cooperate
in and contribute to the development, dissemination, and implementation of advancements
related to cyber-security and its practice, designed to improve the current conditions and
mitigate potential risks.
The goal of the SDSTF is to inspire and motivate worldwide changes to the digital
security environment, including the promotion of neutrality, standardization, digital
identification, trusted clouds, and data sovereignty for a more efficient cyberspace
framework which will allow countries to use the Swiss model as a reference for their
national cyber-security strategies.
Always exploring new technologies, WISeKey has been investigating the security aspects
of Augmented Reality (AR), and has released WISeID AR for Davos. In addition to WISeID's
secure data, WISeID AR is equipped with detection capabilities that can offer helpful
information to iPhone and Android users. WISeID AR was built in partnership with
igloobe.net.
