Thales (formerly Gemalto)

Thales is a French technology group operating in aerospace, defence and security, space, cybersecurity, and digital identity. It employs more than 80,000 people across nearly 70 countries, and its solutions are relied upon by governments, banks, telecom operators, and industrial enterprises worldwide.

In the field of digital security, Thales builds on the heritage of SafeNet and Gemalto, both of which were world leaders in data protection, cryptographic key management, and the issuance of digital identities. Gemalto became part of the Thales Group in 2019, and its portfolio now sits within the Thales Cyber & Digital Identity division. As a result, Thales products combine proven technologies — deployed at certification authorities, government institutions, and financial organizations for decades — with long-term support and a global footprint.

Thales security solutions are designed to meet the most demanding international standards and certifications (such as FIPS 140-2/140-3 and Common Criteria), and form a root of trust for public key infrastructure (PKI), qualified trust services under eIDAS, data protection, payment systems, and digital identities.

By choosing a Thales product, you gain technology from a trusted global provider of digital security, backed by long-term support, regular certifications, and worldwide infrastructure.
