WISeKey has Been Named one of the 2012 Global Growth Companies at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of New Champions in Tianjin China Starting Next Week

GENEVA, September 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

WISeKey is being recognized as a role model for its innovative technology and
revolutionary corporate mission. As part of the participation WISeKey Founder and CEO
Carlos Moreira is invited to attend a special closed-door session hosted by Premier Wen
Jiabao for select members attending the event.

“We are honoured that the World Economic Forum has nominated again this year WISeKey
as a Global Growth Company. This is recognition that WISeKey is making a profound
contribution to protecting personal data and to allowing millions equipped with WISeKey
technologies to perform highly secure social interactions, payments and cyber security
related transactions over the trusted Internet, WISeKey is deploying,” said Carlos
Moreira.

WISeKey is recognized as a role model for innovative digital identification and
cyber-security technology to protect individuals, businesses, and governments on the
Internet. The Forum ranks cyber-attacks as one of the top five risks in the world.

The growth of social networking and cloud computing highlights the complexity of data
sovereignty: data can be stored virtually anywhere but it has a physical presence
somewhere in the world. This location operates under a jurisdiction whose laws could have
unexpected impact on the availability or ownership of data.

Social networks compile data daily with no international regulations on personal
privacy. The gap between a person and a digital identity leaves millions vulnerable to
dangers beyond identity theft. “There isn’t anything built into the Web that can verify
who you are,” says Kevin Blackman WISeKey CTO. “WISeKey’s systems have been the closest
thing for years. WISeID (http://www.wiseid.com) is the first global answer to this
problem.”
