HyTrust was founded by veterans in the enterprise infrastructure and security space who recognized early on not only that virtualization and the cloud were going to dramatically transform the data center, but also that security would be a critical inhibitor to cloud adoption. The mission behind HyTrust has always been to mitigate the risk of catastrophic data center failure and data breaches — especially in light of the concentration of risk that occurs within virtualized and cloud environments. Organizations can now confidently expand virtualization to mission critical applications and take full advantage of the cloud. HyTrust has assembled a world-class team of company builders and innovators and has earned venture backing from the biggest players in the next-generation datacenter: Cisco, VMware, Intel, Fortinet, and In-Q-Tel, the funding arm of the US intelligence community.  Further venture investment has come from highly respected firms such as Trident Capital, Sway Ventures, Epic Ventures, Advanced Venture Partners and Granite Ventures.
