Conference: DEMOfall 08
Market Segment: Small Business Software and Services
Funding Amount: $1,000,001-$5,000,000
Funding Round: Series A
Funding Details: Initial round in 2007 led by iD Ventures America after receiving seed money from seasoned venture capitalists and entrepreneurs who have built successful start-ups.
Competitors: No direct competitors. Personal Fortress cuts across several product categories: data loss prevention (e.g., Symantec, EMC, and Vericept); enterprise rights management: (e.g., Microsoft RMS, Adobe, Liquid Machines); and encryption (PGP, Check Point).
Product Description: Personal Fortress delivers data leak prevention to everyone. Encryption and current generation DLP products are ineffective at keeping sensitive content secure wherever it travels. With no upfront configuration or server required, the user retains complete control over sensitive files, preventing printing, copying or forwarding anytime, and from anywhere. Without changing the user's environment, Personal Fortress allows concurrent use of non-sensitive, unsecured files.
Market Opportunity: IDC estimates that the information protection and control (IPC) market will pass the $3 billion mark in 2011. Through its tiered product offering, Fortressware is positioned to deliver affordable and accessible data protection to a wide range of prospective customers, from independent professionals and SMBs to enterprise workgroups and departments.
DEMO Says: Any business that works with outside service providers – and that’s every business today – knows the risks and the hassles of sharing data beyond the boundaries of the corporate firewall. Beginning with a personal application, Fortressware brings ease of use to data encryption and peace of mind business users. Data protection travels with the bits to prevent copying, cutting and pasting, and sharing of data without the originators consent. With low startup costs and low overhead in use, Personal Fortress provides strong data protection.
