Cryptek Secure Communications
Cryptek, Inc., was a company that developed and sold information security
products and services to governments and corporations, founded in 1986 and
headquartered in Dulles (Virginia, USA). After a bankruptcy in 2008,
Cryptek was acquired by API Nanotronics Corporation in 2009 [1].
Cryptek was founded in 1986 as Cryptek Secure Communications, Inc., and
became known for its secure FAX machines for the US Armed
Forces. In 1988, the company was acquired by General Kinetics, a manufacturer
of secure enclosures and other produts. In 1993, General Kinetics also
acquired Verdix, a manufacturer of secure networking equipment for the
US Government.
In 1996, private equity firm Angelo, Gordon & Co. acquired the FAX and secure
networking business from General Kinetics, and went on as
Cryptek Secure Communications, LLC. In 2002, the company simplified its
name to Cryptek, Inc.
After a restructuring in 2005, Bill Anderson became President and CEO.
Two years later, in 2007, the company acquired Secure Systems Group,
Emcon Emanation Control Ltd., Secure Systems & Technologies Ltd. (SST)
and ION Networks.
In November 2008, the company filed for bankruptcy, which became effective
in March 2009.
Through a senior management buyout, a new company
– Cryptek Technologies, Inc. – was founded on 11 March 2009.
In July 2009, the new Cryptek was taken over by API Nanotronics Corp.
