NetLib Security

NetLib Security, based in Stamford, Connecticut, develops Encryptionizer, a transparent data-at-rest encryption platform for databases, files, and servers. The product is designed to drop into an existing environment and encrypt data at the storage layer without requiring changes to application code, supporting SQL Server (including SQL Express and LocalDB), MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, and other database systems, along with a companion key-management product for centralized storage, backup, and rotation of encryption keys.

Founded in 1986, NetLib Security has operated for nearly four decades as a small, focused vendor rather than pursuing venture-scale growth, and its Encryptionizer platform has achieved FIPS 140-2 validation, the US federal cryptographic module standard, which allows it to be deployed in classified and other sensitive federal environments without requiring a compliance waiver. This kind of long-lived, code-free encryption approach appeals particularly to organizations running legacy or third-party applications where modifying source code to add encryption is impractical or unsupported.

NetLib Security competes in the mature database and file encryption market against both larger data-protection platforms and native database-vendor encryption features, differentiating primarily through its transparent, no-code-change deployment model and long-standing FIPS validation. As a small, privately held company with limited public disclosure, its scores here reflect a real, certified, niche product with modest visibility into current customer scale or growth trajectory.
