Data Edge, Ireland’s most experienced network optimisation and application performance management specialist, has announced a new partnership with data protection provider DropVault. Irish-headquartered DropVault is led by international encryption and cybersecurity expert Neal O’Farrell, who has spent four decades in the global cybersecurity industry working with international governments, the military, and financial networks.
DropVault automatically encrypts all conversations and documents created or shared within its portals before they even reach the server. This zero-visibility design bolsters security for businesses – ensuring that even DropVault cannot access customer data – while providing full audit trails for compliance. Founded in 2020 and with offices in the US and Dublin,DropVault supports clients across education, automotive, engineering, and aviation – including a global airline using the solution for $100M+ aircraft leasing transactions.
Data Edge is now adding DropVault’s highly secure solutions to its portfolio, helping to protect Irish businesses and their customers from communication-based threats such as data breaches, business email compromise, wire fraud, and ransomware linked to insecure file sharing. Designed for organisations operating in heavily regulated industries, DropVault enables teams to share confidential documents securely, carry out private encrypted conversations, and maintain full visibility and audit trails to support compliance with standards such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and the upcoming NIS2 directive. This ensures that businesses can operate securely and confidently as cyber threats continue to rise.
Data Edge has partnered with DropVault due to its expertise in securing organisations’ digital infrastructure. Data Edge and DropVault will provide peace of mind to businesses with guaranteed data sovereignty for critical information, with built-in anomaly detection and defensive monitoring against suspicious access attempts.
Neal O’Farrell, CEO, DropVault, said: “Too many organisations still rely on email, phone calls, and text messaging to share sensitive discussions and documents, and often with only rudimentary security measures in place.
“At a time of global uncertainty and the surge in AI assisted cybercrime, DropVault can help companies maximise the security, privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of their conversations, discussions, and documents. And all without the challenges and frictions that come with most traditional security measures.”
Paul Phelan, CEO, Data Edge, said: “This partnership combines DropVault’s world-class data protection capabilities with our expertise in delivering top-tier network security offerings to businesses. DropVault’s unique position in the encryption space will provide invaluable insights and streamline ways of working for customers.
“It will enable us to effectively secure organisations’ most valuable data, while helping them to stay one step ahead of would-be hackers. As methods of attack are evolving at an unprecedented pace, this solution will underpin operations for organisations dealing with highly sensitive or confidential information and allow the day-to-day running of the business to continue uninterrupted.”
