CORK, Ireland, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vaultree, provider of Encryption-as-a-Service, has raised $3.3M in seed funding for its enhanced data security solution, the company announced today.

Vaultree is ushering in a new era of data protection with its searchable, scalable, privacy-enhancing technology and Encryption-as-a-Service solutions.

It also scales seamlessly to billions of datasets without compromising performance, unlike most legacy encryption solutions.

With this latest funding, Vaultree will continue developing a market-ready product to provide customers with a fully end-to-end encrypted data protection solution that is scalable and easy to use. Vaultree's team will continue to grow with the hiring of more engineering, cryptography, sales, and customer facing staff.
