About SplitByte:

SplitByte is a data security platform for enterprise-level businesses that separates data into information-less fragments and scatters them to any combination of cloud, hybrid and local servers. This method neutralizes all threats, creating the first truly keyless and quantum-proof safe harbor in data security.  In the event of a ransomware attack on any one of the pieces and the piece becomes lost/compromised, the data can still be retrieved via SplitByte’s built-in redundancy. Each split contains zero information about the actual data enabling organizations to retrieve their data without the necessity of paying a ransom. There is only one way to neutralize ransomware attackers, and that is to lock them out completely with SplitByte’s solution which is ready to be deployed in customer’s environment.
