enclaive raises €4.1M to advance multi-cloud confidential computing

As AI use grows, data protection rules become stricter, and cyber threats increase, many organisations are more cautious about moving sensitive data to the cloud. While cloud platforms are flexible and scalable, concerns about data security still slow down adoption.

One major challenge is keeping data safe while it is being actively processed. During this stage, data can be exposed, which is especially risky for sectors like government, finance, healthcare, critical infrastructure, and AI, where even short-term access to sensitive information can be dangerous.

enclaive solves this problem by offering confidential computing across multiple cloud environments. Its platform lets organisations run applications inside secure enclaves, helping protect data during processing without needing to change existing code, tools, or workflows.

Andreas Walbrodt, co-founder and CEO of enclaive, explained that the pace of cloud adoption has exceeded the level of trust many organisations have in existing security models, particularly as AI and sensitive workloads are increasingly deployed across multiple cloud environments.

With enclaive, businesses don’t need to trust the cloud—their data, microservices, and AI models are shielded from unauthorised access at every moment. We’re making confidential computing accessible for any organisation, regardless of technical expertise,

Walbrodt added.

The platform supports enterprise use cases such as Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, and AI applications. It is built with a flexible, vendor-independent design that makes deployment and day-to-day management easier.

The fresh funding will help the company grow its business, improve the eMCP platform, expand its engineering and operations teams, and begin expanding into international markets.
