Why the rebrand?

From Fox Crypto to Sentyron: trusted to protect what matters most

Since 2003, we have operated as Fox Crypto, a pioneer in high-assurance security, with roots in Philips Crypto and a long history as part of Fox-IT. In 2025, following our acquisition by Swedish CR Group, we are starting a new chapter. With our new name, Sentyron, we are reaffirming and strengthening our mission: to protect governments, defence and critical infrastructure.

What does the name Sentyron mean?

Name

The name Sentyron is derived from sentinel (guardian, protector) and tyron (strength, reliability). Together, it represents strong and trustworthy protection of what truly matters.

Logo

The new logo is built around a geometric ‘S’ made of two interlocking shapes that form a shield at the center, which underlines our emphasis on security.

Colours

A charcoal-black-to-forest-green gradient with mint-green accents symbolizes the shift from hidden threats to clear protection and agile progress. The white, near-black, forest-green and mint palette feels solid, modern and future-focused.

Our vision

In a world where geopolitical tensions are increasing and digital threats undermine democracies and sovereignty, Sentyron stands as an essential protector of a free and secure society.

Secure and reliable communication, as well as the continuity of vital processes, are crucial for trust in both technology and society. Sentyron is on the frontline to protect that trust.

By 2030, we aim to be the leading provider of secure communications to vital organizations in the Netherlands, while expanding our reach into the rest of Europe.

Our mission

We protect the vital organizations of our society with uncompromising security technology, ensuring the reliable protection of state secrets, defense systems, and critical processes – today, tomorrow and in the future.

Our strength is built on three pillars

Uncompromising
security

We deliver technology at the highest certification levels (EAL7+, NATO Top Secret, NL-NCSA). For organizations where failure is not an option, our solutions ensure that critical information and processes stay secure under all circumstances.

Dutch roots,
EU-based

Founded in Delft and firmly rooted in Europe, we build sovereign high assurance security solutions. This strengthens digital sovereignty and provides trusted European alternatives for governments and vital organizations.

Customer-centric innovation

Security challenges evolve daily. We continuously invest in post-quantum cryptography, cloud security and AI, anticipating tomorrow’s threats and keeping our solutions ready for the future.

Our core values

Hacker mindset

We think ahead and dare to pioneer. We embrace the future with courage, constantly testing, questioning and challenging the status quo. Our solutions push the standards, reflecting our innovative spirit.

Trustworthiness

We do what we say and are transparent about our capabilities. Our commitment to integrity is unwavering, as trust is the foundation of everything we do. In a world full of digital threats, we put security first.

Dutch craftmanship

Craftsmanship is our foundation. From agile design and development to realization, we can balance security and user-friendliness. The Dutch are known for their simplicity and functionality in product development. We build robust, future-proof systems based on the highest security standards, so our customers can operate with peace of mind.

Collaboration for impact

We believe real progress comes from partnership and synergy. By joining forces, sharing knowledge, and building innovative solutions together, we create an impact that reaches beyond individuals, aiming for a more secure society, today and tomorrow.

Entrepreneurship

We see opportunities in obstacles, taking initiative, being bold and embracing calculated risks. Entrepreneurs challenge the norm, adapt quickly, and are driven by purpose, using profit to grow, make an impact, and push boundaries. We have the mindset to create value for our customers and company.
