ShardSecure provides an agentless data security platform powered by patented Microshard™ technology. It protects sensitive information across on-premise, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. By fragmenting and distributing data into unintelligible microshards, the system prevents exfiltration and minimizes ransomware impact, ensuring data privacy, resilience, and compliance for assets like AI/ML models.
Co-founded by CEO Bob Lam, ShardSecure emerged from his experience as a CTO overseeing security at a major financial institution. He realized traditional encryption lets adversaries possess encrypted data, merely delaying decryption. This insight led to devaluing data by breaking it into meaningless fragments and distributing them, rendering information useless to unauthorized parties.
ShardSecure targets organizations needing robust data security and resilience in complex IT environments, combating ransomware and espionage. Its vision is to empower enterprises with complete control over their valuable data. By re-architecting data protection, ShardSecure proactively mitigates risks and ensures continuous operational integrity, moving beyond conventional security.
