PrivateCore enables enterprises to deploy servers in outsourced environments while maintaining data security. We protect data-in-use from hackers trying to steal data such as encryption keys, certificates, intellectual property. Enterprises need our technology because of the increasingly sophisticated threat environment, larger amounts of sensitive data in memory, and the proliferation of servers in insecure, hosted environments.
