Our Investmennt Campaign
Strong start to the year by successfully raising capital
GuardWare has had a strong start to the year by successfully raising capital, and we continue to welcome further investment opportunities through our Investor campaign.
In December 2024, we further strengthened our strategic position by partnering with UNSW Sydney under the Defence Trailblazer initiative, signing a $7 million agreement to enhance the security of Australia’s defence supply chain. This partnership underscores our commitment to cutting-edge cybersecurity and bolstering national security resilience.
Investors are invited to register and learn about our revolutionary data protection IP, which safeguards every type of data 100% of the time with full compatibility, stops data ransoming, and features world-leading Quantum Resilience.
