Our take
Munich-based Ory has built a zero-trust, cloud-native identity layer for the internet, enabling developers and organisations to implement identity across their software stacks, without any privacy and security risks.
Demand for these services is rife as rising cyberattacks have prompted many companies to consider adopting a zero-trust architecture, which is said to enhance security efficacy by stopping data breaches by 144%. Indeed, Ory’s architecture is one leading companies are keen to deploy, with clients including Sainsbury’s and Blues Wireless.
The company recent funding will be used to build out its global network infrastructure, as well as setting up data privacy and GDPR-compliant processes, whilst launching a Security Operations Centre. With these ambitious plans and set within a ever-growing market, Ory Corp has great potential for growth.
