Cigent gets $7.6 million to reimagine data protection at the file level

The Cigent team at the company headquarters. Cigent emerged from stealth this morning with $7.6 million in funding.
Cigent might be the only cybersecurity startup where the founders proudly tell you how disinterested they are in designing products that prevent threat actors from breaking into your systems.
This is not due to naïveté, or some failure to appreciate the threat landscape – many of the founders and executives have backgrounds founding or leading successful cybersecurity companies – but rather because of those experiences. The attack surface is too large and the underlying technologies used today are so complex and insecure that if there isn’t already a devastating, known security vulnerability affecting the hardware or software used, it’s probably just because security researchers haven’t found and written a CVE entry for it yet.
