EAGLYS Inc. Secure Computing Solutions
Based on the concept of “securely utilizing all types of data and turning it into value,” the startup is developing its business in two main areas: data security, which is the foundation for connecting and utilizing data while protecting it, and AI analysis, which turns it into value and insights.
In data security, the “Data Armor” series of products is equipped with a secure computing engine that makes use of cutting-edge original high-speed technology that connects valuable and sensitive data between different parties while keeping them secret from each other. This data sharing allows to extract insights that organizations haven’t seen before from data they wouldn’t have access to normally with the use of AI algorithms that can process all of the data without the need of decryption. By linking important data such as location information, payment, purchasing data, and logistics/supply chain related data, each company can potentially detect demand fluctuations, improve factor analysis, optimize joint delivery, customer customization, etc.
The more the quantity of important and sensitive data increases, the more important security and privacy becomes. Therefore, this is an indispensable technology for a proactive data utilization strategy and data-driven DX realization. Moreover, this technology also has also been used to strengthen security when collecting data from multiple clouds or non trusted environments.
