Silent Circle targets enterprise users with 'world first' privacy ecosystem
Encrypted communications provider Silent Circle has raised approximately $50 million in a funding round aimed at pushing the company forward in the enterprise market.
Announced on Thursday, Silent Circle said "strong demand" from enterprise customers seeking to keep communication private through the Blackphone product range led the firm to launch a private, common equity round in order to grow and cater for new clients.
At the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, Silent Circle is set to unveil the "world's first privacy ecosystem," along with new devices, software and services. According to the company, the ecosystem will be a "unique" platform based on a fundamentally different mobile architecture -- the cryptographic key-agreement protocol ZRTP.
