SecureWare Inc., founded in 1986 developed software and encryption technology for securing Unix-based operating systems. Its secure operating system was used to help secure the world's first internet bank, Security First Network Bank (S1 Technologies).[1] SecureWare also worked closely with HP's federal division to develop security products, such as the trusted operating system, used by the U.S. Department of Defense for certain military information.[citation needed]
In 1996, SecureWare's internet system security division was sold to Hewlett Packard.[2][3] The rest of SecureWare was acquired by Security First Network Bank later that same year.[4]
