The Berlin-based cybersecurity company provides a multi-cloud platform that enables organisations to protect sensitive data and applications without requiring changes to existing code, tools, or workflows.
enclaive, a German cybersecurity company specialising in confidential computing, has raised €4.1 million in seed funding, with the round co-led by Join Capital and the Amadeus APEX Technology Fund and supported by Auriga Cyber Ventures.
Rising AI adoption, evolving data protection regulations, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats have heightened security concerns around cloud computing. While cloud platforms offer scalability, many organisations remain cautious when it comes to migrating sensitive workloads.
A particular challenge for security and compliance teams lies in protecting data during active processing. This stage of exposure can limit cloud adoption, especially in sectors such as the public sector, finance, healthcare, critical infrastructure, and AI, where even brief access to sensitive data can pose elevated risk.
enclaive addresses this issue by enabling confidential computing across multi-cloud environments. Its platform allows organisations to deploy applications within secure enclaves, with the aim of protecting data throughout processing without requiring changes to existing code, tools, or operational workflows.
Andreas Walbrodt, co-founder and CEO of enclaive, explained that the pace of cloud adoption has exceeded the level of trust many organisations have in existing security models, particularly as AI and sensitive workloads are increasingly deployed across multiple cloud environments.
With enclaive, businesses don’t need to trust the cloud—their data, microservices, and AI models are shielded from unauthorised access at every moment. We’re making confidential computing accessible for any organisation, regardless of technical expertise,
Walbrodt added.
The platform is designed to support enterprise workloads such as Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, and AI applications, using a modular and vendor-agnostic architecture intended to simplify deployment and operational control.
The new funding will be used to support commercial growth, further development of the eMCP platform, expansion of engineering and operations teams, and initial international expansion.
