“Most compliance frameworks assume sensitive data will exist in plaintext somewhere, but with automated, high-velocity data exchange, that’s a liability,” said Shane Curran, founder and CEO of Evervault.“At Evervault, we believe sensitive data should be treated like hazardous material. Systems must be designed so it isn’t touched in the first place. We’re building the Internet’s trust layer, embedding encryption directly into the application architecture so it stays encrypted by default, not by policy alone,” Curran added.Related:Reclaim Security Raises $20 Million to Accelerate RemediationRelated:AI Security Firm JetStream Launches With $34 Million in Seed FundingRelated:Fig Security Launches With $38 Million to Bolster SecOps Resilience
