Bluebox Security is saving the corporate world from information thievery by securing company data as it interacts with employee-owned mobile devices, applications and services. Bluebox makes mobile security strong, transparent, and easy to manage while preserving end-user privacy and usability at “bring your own device” (BYOD) workplaces, unlike other solutions that lock down mobile devices and stifle personal productivity and privacy. Comprised of a highly experienced team of domain experts with deep knowledge of security and enterprise, Bluebox Security is backed by a $9.5 million investment by Andreessen Horowitz, Sun Microsystems co-founder, Andreas von Bechtolsheim, SV Angel and Google Board member Ram Shriram.
