ABOUT
STRONGKEY
StrongAuth, Inc. (dba StrongKey) is a privately held company that was originally incorporated in 2001. We have offices in Cupertino, CA and Durham, NC. We got our start solving the challenge of developing a public key infrastructure, and soon found ourselves exploring other security challenges where we could apply our expertise.
In addition to the work we do for our customers, our broader contributions to security include helping the US Army secure its industrial supply chain, contributing to four NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) projects, providing security solutions to two Central Banks and being one of three technology companies that advised the State of California as part of its Blockchain Working Group.
Our Philosophy
StrongKey's mission is to safeguard critical data by providing security solutions that are accessible to everyone. The central tenet of our philosophy revolves around the idea of "disruptive defenses", an uncommon approach to tackling security challenges by combining existing industry standards and technologies that are already in common use, but rarely assembled together.
Our Values
We hold ourselves true to the following values. Our decisions as vendors, partners and as an employer are governed by them.
We Are True To Our Beliefs
Our views on security are guided by one fundamental principle - we will always do what results in the best possible security solution for our customers. Sometimes, this means we have a contrarian viewpoint. Sometimes, the entire industry may be going one way, while we insist on the other. We don’t do this to needlessly argue; we do this because we passionately believe in the efficacy of the security solutions we offer.
We Do Business The Right Way
We create and sell technology that is truly solving problems, not looking to simply make money. We operate with transparency with our employees, customers, investors, and all other stakeholders. We don’t take shortcuts, we extend trust, and seek to cultivate it in others as they work with us. We are uncompromising in operating this way, no matter the cost.
We Create Technology To Enhance Lives
We have a utopian view of what technology could be. We believe that everyone deserves a secure web, and that our technology can help level the economic playing field by enabling people to be connected securely. We are passionate believers in open source technology, and we are grateful to the open source community for helping us to get where we are. We believe in sharing and giving back – both in technology, as well as people. We hire people who have the potential to be teachers and mentors, who are collaborative, and who join in this vision.
We Value The People We Work With
We consider the whole person— a completeness of goals and aspirations, family, pursuits outside of work, relationships, and career paths. We strive to create a workplace that respects balance and provides opportunities to pursue passions whether related to work or not. We believe work is an important thing, but not the most important thing. Work can (and should) be fun and enjoyable—but we hold that in tension with the serious effort it takes to work in an industry with mission-critical data and increasing attacks and data breaches all around us.
