About Teleskope
Teleskope is building the future of data protection. Despite enormous growth in awareness and investment in data security, most companies still don't know where they are storing sensitive information and how to protect it. Other data security tools still struggle to deliver accurate classifications and actionable insights, and do nothing to help customers resolve the issues they surface. At Teleskope, we're building a modern and developer-friendly data security platform to automate data security, privacy and governance at scale, from detection to remediation.
2024 has been a year of tremendous growth at Teleskope. We continue to beat out larger, more established competitors, have rapidly grown our customer base and team, and continue to gain traction in the market. And we're just getting started.
