Our take

Fortanix is a cybersecurity company developing cloud security and privacy products. The company's platform protects data, and keeps keys & applications protected from external and internal threats. It can be deployed on-premise or in-cloud, with its products catered towards healthcare, technology, university, and payment companies.

Since its inception in 2016, Fortanix has secured many partnerships, including with Intel, Microsoft, and Google. They have also attracted impressive customers such as Adidas, Paypal, the U.S. Department of Defence, and the University of California San Fransisco.

In 2022, Fortanix raised $90 million in Series C investment, and claims to have reached 500% growth between 2019 and 2022. Its impressive funding came at a time when investments in the cybersecurity sector were scarce, exemplifying its importance as a digital defense partner.
