Appointment strengthens Sekur as a Swiss-hosted diplomatic solution for international dialogue and negotiations
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2026 / Sekur Private Data, Inc., a Miami based leading Swiss-hosted cybersecurity, private communications, and defense communications company serving enterprise, government, and defense clients, and wholly owned U.S. based subsidiary of Sekur Private Data (OTCQB:SWISF)(CSE:SKUR)(FRA:GDT0) (“Sekur” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce that it has appointed Nathan R. Price as Special Advisor for Diplomacy & Intelligence.
Nathan R. Price was a former foreign affairs analyst and peacemaker at the U.S. Department of State, where he helped end the U.S. war in Afghanistan over the course of two U.S. presidencies. Price was one of a handful of individuals involved in supporting the most sensitive and complex final negotiation efforts. He counts over a decade of diplomatic experience, most within the Bureau of Intelligence & Research (INR), where the rubber meets the road on intelligence and policy at the State Department.
INR is unique and famous within the U.S. intelligence community in that it is a research shop physically residing within the U.S. Department of State headquarters in Foggy Bottom. Its origins date back to the research wing of the storied Office of Strategic Services (OSS) that conducted intelligence collection and covert operations behind enemy lines in WWII.
Because INR is only a few hundred strong, its elite analysts stand side-by-side with America’s senior most diplomats in Washington. Serving within INR provides globally unique insight into how intelligence is used in the real world to make foreign policy decisions. In INR, Price saw firsthand the high importance of secure communications methods for U.S. diplomats. Specifically, he studied how U.S. negotiators use various communication methodologies to negotiate peace across complex international boundaries and in hostile counterintelligence environments. To this day, such methods span open electronic communications, encrypted methodologies, and even couriers.
These insights inspired Price to seek to build additional secure communication options for U.S. officials, which ultimately brought him to advise Sekur after growing his private sector expertise following U.S. federal service. Switzerland is globally renowned for both its neutrality, and its historical hosting of sensitive negotiations of all kinds.
In addition to his diplomatic and intelligence experience, Price is a trained graduate of the Georgetown University Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, the oldest school of international affairs in the United States, founded in 1919 in the wake of the devastation of WWI to birth the next generation of U.S. foreign policy thought leaders.

Built for use cases where standard commercial VPN solutions present unacceptable privacy and security risk.
SekurRelay – Leadership-Level Secure Email Integration
An institutional-grade secure email relay solution that enables domain splitting – allowing institutions to establish secure communications at the ministerial, ambassadorial, or senior staff level without requiring full organizational migration or infrastructure overhaul. SekurRelay removes one of the most significant barriers to large-scale government and institutional deployment, enabling phased adoption that protects the highest-value officials and communications immediately while broader rollout proceeds. Designed for foreign ministries, diplomatic missions, and government institutions requiring rapid, low-friction elevation of communications security at the leadership tier.
