Connecting Secure Storage to the Bigger Security Picture | A Brand Highlight at Infosecurity Europe 2026 with Jeanclaude Toma, Chief Executive Officer of Apricorn

At Infosecurity Europe 2026, Jeanclaude Toma, Chief Executive Officer of Apricorn, joins Sean Martin to reframe where secure storage fits in the security conversation. After roughly four decades building hardware-encrypted drives, Apricorn wants the market to treat storage as a security decision rather than a hardware afterthought. How does a storage device become a security control? Toma points to the device itself: no one reaches the data without the code. Access requires a PIN entered on the drive, and the encrypted vault stays closed to everyone else. The protection travels with the drive and does not depend on the host system. Apricorn builds to FIPS certification requirements, hardens against environmental stress down to the connector, and tests repeatedly so compliance arrives built in. Why does this matter at the macro scale? Toma joined Apricorn three months ago to expand the portfolio and connect storage to the broader security marketplace, from military, government, and aerospace settings to the enterprise. He also hints at new form factors still under wraps. Listen in to hear why Apricorn treats the business and operations behind the product as seriously as the product itself. This is a Brand Highlight. A Brand Highlight is a ~5 minute introductory conversation designed to put a spotlight on the guest and their company.
