Eaglys

Eaglys, founded in Tokyo in 2016 by CEO Hiroki Imabayashi and Chief Science Officer Yusuke Maruyama, builds data protection infrastructure based on homomorphic encryption and trusted execution environments (TEEs). Its DataArmor GATE product line lets organizations run computation and AI analysis directly on encrypted data, so sensitive information is never exposed in plaintext even to the systems processing it.

This is a technically harder problem than typical data security posture management: most DSPM/CSPM tools discover and classify sensitive data, but Eaglys’s approach lets that data actually be used — for cross-company analytics, AI model training, or manufacturing data-sharing — while remaining cryptographically protected throughout. The company positions this for regulated, high-value industrial data that organizations have historically been unwilling to centralize or share at all.

Eaglys has raised $56.6 million to date from investors including Ricoh’s and Panasonic’s corporate accelerators, and counts Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, JR East, Hitachi High-Tech, and Mitsui & Co. among its named customers — a decade of production use among major Japanese industrial and infrastructure operators that few earlier-stage confidential-computing vendors can match.
