About
Fortaegis (Fortaegis Technologies), founded in 2023 and headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, builds chip-level security. It exploits the unclonable physical fingerprint created during silicon manufacturing (PUF) to dynamically generate encryption keys that are never permanently stored on-device, and layers a full-stack "Secure Compute" architecture spanning hardware, firmware, cryptography and software on top of it, delivering quantum-resistant identity and policy management. Customers are governments and enterprises across defense, AI infrastructure, telecom, critical infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and automotive, including ASML.
