Sitehop, the Sheffield-based encryption innovator, has raised £7.5 million in new funding to accelerate its mission to protect global networks from the next generation of cyber threats.

Future-Proofing Encryption for the Quantum Era

Quantum computing is poised to break today’s encryption — and Sitehop is one step ahead.

The company’s SAFEseries™ platform moves encryption from software into dedicated hardware, cutting latency to near zero and slashing power use by up to 90%. The result: quantum-resilient, ultra-fast security that keeps data flowing securely, even in the most demanding networks.

From telecoms to financial infrastructure, Sitehop’s hardware encryption is already battle-tested and ready to secure the backbone of the digital world.
