Vysk

VP Global Business Development

Over the past eighteen months Vysk has developed the world’s most secure form of communication. It begins with protecting the device people use most every day, their smartphone. Vysk has developed advanced technology to secure your smartphone, and so much more. The vulnerability of smartphones lies in their software, which is susceptible to malware. Our solution overcomes this issue by combining hardware and software security components.Vysk Communications holds over a dozen patents (some granted in less than three months) related to privacy, security and encryption, including AES Orbital, our next-generation encryption algorithm, which secures our private voice communication app. We use this form of encryption and embedded hardware to also secure your camera, your texts, your photos, and more.Vysk’s commitment to privacy doesn’t end there though. It is only the beginning. Utilizing our patented encryption algorithms, one-time pass code technology, and innovative embedded hardware, Vysk has developed a network architecture and platform that meets the needs of small to large businesses, large scale enterprise clients, governments, NGO’s and can integrate easily within the current structure of most companies, or be hosted in the Vysk Privacy Network.
