"Cybertrust itself is the product of a 2004 merger between TruSecure and BeTrusted. The company also has the distinction of having former HP CEO Carly Fiorina on its board. The appointment came in October, 2005, and was her first move back into the tech market after she left HP." [http://www.informationweek.com/news/199501832 InformationWeek]

In 2000, "Irish online security company '''Baltimore Technologies plc''' Monday said it spent $150 million on the purchase of CyberTrust Solutions Inc. from '''GTE's Contel Federal Systems Inc'''. Under the terms of the all-stock deal, Baltimore Technologies (BALT) expects to gain U.S.- and Japan-based hosting facilities, which were built on a previous $25 million injection, and a foothold in the US securities market. The company will also access CyberTrust's U.S. sales services.
The buy is primarily expected to bolster Baltimore Technologies' position in the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) subset of the online security market. CyberTrust claims heavyweight status in the blue-chip client arena, and '''its portfolio includes services for American Express, Mastercard, Deutsche Telecom, Swisskey, Telecom Italia and Sonera.'''
