We help the world connect and work effortlessly, without worrying about information exposure.
As the leading provider of Data-Centric Cloud Security, we set a new standard for helping businesses protect the sensitive data and information they care about most.
Our mission is to secure and empower productivity in a privacy-focused world, where work can happen anywhere.
New rules. For a new world.
Today, the boundary between enterprise and personal data has all but disappeared. A common software vulnerability can compromise a large, global company, which in turn can expose the personal information of millions of its customers. This reality requires a bold new approach to data protection—one that’s easy, automatic, and transparent.
Data security is not just about locking down sensitive information. It’s about setting it free. From device and app to network and cloud, we’re unifying data security - providing protection from anywhere, on any device, without sacrificing privacy. It’s the future of secure data and peace of mind for all.
Discover the ongoing milestones of our journey to help people and businesses prosper in a fluid, digital world.
