About Us
Cocoon Data is a global technology company providing data-centric security solutions that help businesses and governments identify, protect, and control access to sensitive information. At Cocoon Data, we approach data security through the lens of the attacker – the starting point is the user device and data is the endpoint. By restricting access to sensitive content up to and including the IT Administrators, our platform makes information harder to steal or misuse rather than hardening the devices where information is stored. With offices in Australia, Europe, and the United States, organizations around the world trust Cocoon Data to secure their most sensitive data.
