Overview: NuCypher is a comprehensive encryption layer that sits across all an organization's big data platforms (Hadoop, Kafka, Spark), whether on-premise or in the cloud. Unlike existing security and encryption tools, NuCypher doesn't require tradeoffs between security, performance, and functionality. The major use cases we help customers with include: CLOUD ENABLEMENT Moving big data storage and compute to the cloud, while keeping encryption keys on-premise. DATA GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE Bringing big data projects into compliance with internal security policies and regulatory requirements, including PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR. SHARED DATA LAKES Enabling enterprise-wide shared, multi-tenant data lakes with granular decryption permissions based on existing AD/LDAP/Kerberos access policies. Internal users and external partners can easily be granted access (and have it revoked). NuCypher is funded by Y Combinator, NewGen Capital, and Base Ventures. Approx.
