“Security is becoming a key element in businesses’ digitisation strategies and is now a fully integrated part of the applications used by every firm, from multinationals to start-ups and SMEs, rather than just the nth layer of additional infrastructure,” explains Guillaume Pontallier, co-founder of Tanker. “This capital increase confirms the growing need for a business that can offer SaaS developers a security standard that is simple to integrate, certified and therefore reassuring for their users,” he continues.
