Cryptographic hardware and security solutions for Brazilian government and critical infrastructure
Kryptus builds hardware security modules, cryptographic accelerators, and digital certificate management systems for government and critical infrastructure in Brazil. The company's tech stack (Python, Angular, HSM, PKI, IAM) reflects deep specialization in cryptographic engineering rather than breadth. Hiring is concentrated in marketing and sales (5 of 7 active roles) while engineering capacity is minimal, suggesting the company is pivoting toward go-to-market maturity after establishing core products—supported by active projects around brand growth strategy, RFP process support, and expanding the cyber security portfolio.
Kryptus develops and deploys cryptographic hardware, firmware, and software solutions from semiconductors to certificate management systems. Founded in 2003, the company operates from Campinas, São Paulo, and serves government and critical infrastructure in Brazil. Notable deployments include the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure (ICP-Brazil), electronic voting machines, and military/civilian government communications. The company's ASI-HSM cryptographic module holds Brazil's highest hardware security certification (MCT7 NSH3 via ITI). Core challenges center on complex sales cycles, RFP workflows, fraud detection, and cost of customer acquisition in regulated environments.
Kryptus builds cryptographic hardware modules (HSMs), ASIC AES accelerators, and digital certificate management systems. The flagship ASI-HSM is certified at Brazil's highest security level (MCT7 NSH3) and protects systems including ICP-Brazil and Brazilian electronic voting machines.
Kryptus deploys SIEM, EDR, Google Cloud Security Command Center, SOAR, HSM, IAM, and Public Key Infrastructure tools. The stack reflects specialization in cryptographic and identity security rather than general IT operations.
