NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpher, Inc., the pioneers of Secret Computing^©, today announced a strategic investment from Swisscom Ventures to fuel growth and partnership for market acceleration in telecommunications, finance and healthcare. Inpher's existing investors include the Amazon Alexa Fund, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Crosslink Capital, Bowery Capital and Alpana Ventures.

Gartner predicts that "by 2025, 50% of large organizations will adopt privacy-enhancing computation for processing data in untrusted environments and multiparty data analytics use cases."
