Were setting data free so that you can intentionally share it with others, but without sacrificing security, privacy, or control. Weve created both a suite of powerful data protection applications and an open platform that sparks an ecosystem of innovation. Through the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, were not just protecting data; were creating a new paradigm where security enables sharing rather than preventing it. Think of us as the Android of data protection: a robust platform with an open core that developers and partners can build upon, coupled with our own bestinclass applications that showcase whats possible when you reimagine security from the ground up. Backed by Iconiq Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Capital, and Tiger Global, were helping Fortune 500 companies and government agencies discover that true data security means having the freedom to share, collaborate, and innovate without compromise.
