Security Hardening
Test & Services
Protecting your sensitive data with innovative secure hardware solutions.
30 Years Solving the Most Complex Security Problems
Customers who operate in the Government and Defence industries often require a much higher level of security
hardening than found in the COTS products provided by the original equipment manufacturer.
SST/Emcon leverages its strong engineering capabilities, agile manufacturing and unique test services to design and
manufacture innovative security-hardened Solutions.
Telephony Solutions
SST/Emcon offers a range of secure VoIP and analog telephones that enhance the factory-standard OEM products with additional security features.
- Fiber ethernet
- Wi-Fi/Bluetooth removed near field communications
