Virtru
About Virtru While the rest of the security industry obsesses over locking data down to prevent it from being lost or stolen, we’re doing something fundamentally different. We’re setting data free so that you can intentionally share it with others, but without sacrificing security, privacy, or control. We offer both powerful data protection applications and an open platform that sparks ecosystem innovation. Through the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, we’re creating a new paradigm where security enables sharing rather than preventing it. Backed by leading venture partners, we help Fortune 500 companies and government agencies discover that true data security means having the freedom to share, collaborate, and innovate – without compromise.
