Covert Technology

Covert security solutions with private authentication

If you’d prefer to keep your brand’s counterfeit and piracy protection features confidential, covert security technologies provide brand security with private authentication.

Brady’s covert security offering features an assortment of technologies that allow authentication with various methods, ranging from basic trained investigative knowledge and simple tools like flash lights and pocket magnifiers, to advanced laboratory analysis equipment.

If needed, these security technologies can often be combined with other technologies for a multi-layered anti-counterfeiting solution.
