EXECUTIVE OPINION:

Vishal Gupta, CEO of Seclore, said, “Seclore’s data-centric approach is geared toward relieving enterprises from protecting infrastructure to protecting what really matters—the data. This investment fuels our ability to protect the modern workplace and ensures enterprises have a trusted partner for data security, governance, and compliance.”

"Confidential data is everywhere. Data is in transit with third parties, public clouds, and personal devices. Enterprises cannot afford to ‘chase’ this data through its lifecycle," he further added.

Dhiraj Gupta, Principal, VenturEast said, "Seclore has grown to become a pioneer in innovating data-centric security solutions for enterprises. We are proud to have been part of the company’s exciting journey—right from being its very first seed investor a decade ago, and then through multiple subsequent rounds of funding."
