atsec information security disrupts the $21B energy drink market with a fully certified, cryptographically secure, Linux-powered beverage engineered for security professionals who refuse to compromise – on anything.
AUSTIN, TX – atsec information security, the globally recognized leader in cryptographic testing today announced its most audacious product yet: FIPZ FUEL™, the world’s first commercially available, cryptographically secure, FIPS 140-3-validated energy drink.
“We evaluated hundreds of products for security,” said an atsec spokesperson, “and frankly, most popular energy drinks had unacceptable threat surfaces. Predictable carbonation patterns. Unauthenticated flavor delivery. Ingredients with no entropy whatsoever. We decided the market needed disruption.”1
FIPZ FUEL™ is engineered from the ground up for the information security professional who refuses to power through a 14-hour Common Criteria evaluation on a beverage that hasn’t been vetted. Its proprietary formulation delivers 400% more focus2 than leading competitors, eliminates side-channel cognitive fatigue3 by up to 99.97%, and has been shown in internal studies to improve cryptographic algorithm review speed by a factor of 2256.4
Stay Focused
It’s Not Just a Principle, It’s a Beverage
At atsec, “Stay Focused” isn’t just a core operating principle – it’s a mandate. Whether you’re elbow-deep in a FIPS 140-3 entropy source assessment or staring down a 400-page Security Target at 11 p.m., FIPZ FUEL™ delivers the sustained, high-assurance cognitive performance you need. Unlike other energy drinks, FIPZ FUEL™’s focus delivery mechanism has been formally verified using the same rigorous methodology atsec applies to cryptographic module validation. In other words: we tested it properly, unlike other Beverage Assessment Bodies (BABs).5
“After my first can, I completed a full FIPS 140-3 validation in my head, identified three entropy sources in my kitchen, and began suspecting my toaster of insufficient key management. By the third can, I achieved what I can only describe as continuous operational enlightenment.
Hooooo-weeeeee!!”
– Andreas Fabis, Director of Business Development, atsec
Security Features: The Liquid
FIPZ FUEL™ is not merely a drink. It is a security architecture, delivered in 355ml of highly caffeinated, AES-256-GCM authenticated liquid. Key liquid-layer security features:
Security Features: The Can
The liquid is only half the story. FIPZ FUEL™’s aluminum packaging is the most security-hardened beverage container in the history of consumer goods.6

Availability and Pricing
FIPZ FUEL™ will be available in Q2 2026 in a single flavor: Authenticated Citrus (256-bit). A 12-pack retails for $299, which our finance team assures us is completely reasonable given the HSM embedded in each can. Enterprise licensing is available for organizations requiring fleet-wide beverage management and centralized key escrow. A decaffeinated variant, FIPZ FUEL™ Lite (NULL Cipher Edition), is also in development for evaluators who need to stay focused but are sensitive to stimulants.
1 This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA, NIST, CMVP, NIAP, or any other acronym-bearing body with actual authority over beverages.
2 “400% more focus” measured using the atsec Proprietary Focus Index (aPFI), a methodology developed entirely in-house over one afternoon. The aPFI has not been independently validated, peer-reviewed, or subjected to any form of third-party scrutiny. This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.
3 “Side-channel cognitive fatigue” is not a recognized medical condition. Neither the elimination thereof, nor the 99.97% efficacy figure, has been evaluated by the FDA. This is not medical advice.
4 Study conducted with a sample size of n=3 (two atsec evaluators and one summer intern). 2²⁵⁶ improvement is a theoretical upper bound under ideal conditions. Individual results may vary. Not evaluated by the FDA.
5 “Formally verified” in this context means two senior evaluators drank it and said “yep, focused.” This process loosely resembles formal verification in the same way that a crayon drawing loosely resembles a Common Criteria Security Target. Not evaluated by the FDA.
6 The previous record holder for most secure beverage container was a Thermos with a padlock on it. We have not verified this claim. Not evaluated by the FDA.
