WISeKey supported the Swiss Defender during its 32nd campaign and is renewing its partnership for the coming months. “We are delighted to welcome WISeKey as a sponsor of Alinghi for the 33rd America’s Cup,” explained Ernesto Bertarelli, Alinghi team president. “As a team we need to share and access confidential information, such as design data, so security is paramount in our campaign to try and win the America’s Cup again. Our partnership with WISeKey will ensure that we have the optimum protection.”

Carlos Moreira, Founder and Chairman of WISeKey, added: “We are proud to be named the sole provider of Alinghi’s electronic security solutions. WISeKey and Alinghi share many values. We both deeply believe in integrity, in excellence and above all in first rate technology.”

During this 33rd America’s Cup, WISeKey will be releasing a new generation of e-Security products such as the eKey+, adapted to the organisation and security of high level events.
