Privafy

Privafy is a cloud-native, security-as-a-service solution that provides comprehensive data protection as information moves between locations, clouds, mobile devices, and edge devices. Its technology enables encryption, content inspection, and policy enforcement without impacting application performance. Privafy's proprietary encryption scheme and endpoint identity protection safeguard against unauthorized access and endpoint cloning attempts.

The company's solutions integrate the functionalities of encryption systems, VPNs, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), data loss prevention (DLP), deep content inspection, and distributed denial of service (DDoS) defense technology. This integrated approach aims to secure data against a wide range of cyber threats, including unauthorized intrusions, malware, DDoS attacks, ransomware, and botnets.

Privafy's offerings are delivered as a cloud-based portfolio of products, replacing traditional hardware and software-based security solutions with a simplified, easy-to-use service model. The company's services can be monitored and managed through a single dashboard called PrivafyCentral. These include NetEdge for securing on-premise connectivity, CloudEdge for protecting public and private clouds, and AppEdge for safeguarding devices running iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Privafy emerged from stealth mode in January 2020 with USD 22 million in funding to scale its product development efforts. The Burlington, Massachusetts-based company was founded by executives from Verizon and NXP Semiconductors.
