Senetas Corporation Limited was founded in 1999, but our story begins a little earlier — with a vision to build the world’s most trusted high-assurance network encryption technology.

Our Story
We began by solving a mission-critical, high-speed data network problem for an Australian Government law enforcement organisation.
Shortly after Senetas was established, the US Government and defence agencies came to us to solve their own high-speed data network encryption issues.
Today, we are proud to name them still among our most loyal customers; along with other Government agencies and leading Cloud and data centre service providers from around the world.
For more than a quarter of a century we have been at the forefront of encryption innovation and have been a part of some significant industry ‘firsts’; from the development of the world’s first quantum resistant encryption (QRE) solution to the launch of the ultra-fast CN9000 Series – the first commercially available 100Gbps encryptor supporting fully meshed network topologies.
We remain committed to excellence in research and development, independent testing authority certification, best-practice data encryption and leading expertise in the security of high-speed data networks.
