Garrett Bekker of 451 Research covers ShardSecure's $2.5m funding round, led by EPIC Ventures with participation from existing investors Industrifonden and former Internet Security Systems and Joulex CEO Tom Noonan.
"ShardSecure is an emerging data security vendor that was founded on a fairly simple premise: split sensitive data into tiny pieces and distribute it across multiple locations, so that the individual pieces are meaningless in the wrong hands, a process known as 'sharding.' ShardSecure has applied a variety of optimization techniques that allow for less latency via 'micro' shards that can be as small as a few bytes."
