We have come a long way, but we are nowhere near the end of our story just yet. We have always been on the bleeding edge of new technologies and will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible.
Our story goes back to the 1960s when the Institute of Cybernetics, a research institution, was established as the predecessor of Cybernetica. Currently, we have 5 product and service development departments: Cybersecurity, Data Exchange Technologies, Digital Identity Technologies, Tax and Customs Systems, and Surveillance Systems. Next to them, we have our in-house Information Security Research Institute conducting the breakthrough R&D.
