Who Is ESCRYPT?

 

ESCRYPT is a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions and services for the Internet of Things (IoT). After opening their Canadian headquarters in Waterloo three years ago, the team has now grown to 35 employees and they’re continuing to expand.

ESCRYPT believes that the security and privacy of every device is important. Their mission is to bring safety and peace of mind to an increasingly connected and data-driven world. As IoT continues to explode and connect even the smallest, formerly innocuous aspects of our world, ESCRYPT technology gives its customers the edge to keep data safe. 

 

Why is this big data platform critical? 

 

In the automotive ecosystem, there are large amounts of data being generated and captured – during development, measurements, simulations, ADAS, etc. This data is currently being underutilized and involves massive manual processing to even make use of it.
