About Symmetry

Our co-founders, Casen Hunger and Dr. Mohit Tiwari, first met at the award-winning Spark Research Lab at UT Austin. Amongst other research, they were studying how to build a system stack where users control their data even when they use untrusted applications on untrusted data centers, thereby preserving privacy and the most valuable asset of all – data. The results were compelling enough to drive a brand new approach to data security that became Symmetry.

We raised $3 million in seed funding from ForgePoint Capital and Prefix Capital in August 2020 to launch their innovative Data Store and Object Security (DSOS) solution called Symmetry DataGuard. The funding was driven by feedback from security experts who saw the need for Symmetry's granular data visibility and access controls across all data stores. This allowed Symmetry to develop their transformative product, which was already being piloted by major organizations, and bring it to market.

We raised a $15 million Series A funding round led by existing investors Prefix Capital and ForgePoint Capital. The round also included Accenture Ventures and industry leaders as new investors. This funding enabled Us to start scaling our innovative Data Store and Object Security (DSOS) solution called DataGuard, which provided unified visibility and control over data assets across hybrid cloud environments..

We were named a Cool Vendor by Gartner in the April 2022 Cool Vendors for Data Security report. This prestigious industry recognition highlighted Symmetry's innovation in this space, but also codified a new category known as Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) with Symmetry the only vendor recognized in this space at the time.

We raised an additional $17.7 million from investors including ForgePoint, Prefix, W11, and channel partner TSG. The funding was used to further scale our Data+AI Security platform providing visibility and control over data flows and access across hybrid clouds. As data becomes critical for AI/ML and cloud migration, our existing investors doubled down on Symmetry's innovative approach to securing organizations' valuable data assets.

We launched a new Data+AI Security product line to enable secure enterprise adoption of generative AI like Microsoft Copilot. The offerings provide visibility into an organization's data landscape and AI model usage, while applying controls to secure data access for AI agents. Key capabilities include a Gen AI inventory to detect AI/LLM deployments and assess related data risks.
