What Duality Technologies does

Duality Technologies, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey, provides a privacy-preserving data collaboration platform that enables organizations to analyze sensitive, distributed, or inaccessible data without moving or exposing it. The platform combines multiple privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), including Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Federated Learning, Trusted Execution Environments (TEE/confidential computing), and Secure Multi-Party Computation, with the company maintaining OpenFHE, the leading open-source post-quantum FHE library developed through more than a decade of DARPA-funded research with Intel, Samsung, and MIT.

The product surface spans the Duality Query Engine for encrypted queries on siloed data, Secure Collaborative AI for cross-organizational model training and inference, Secure Federated Analytics built on NVIDIA FLARE, and the Duality Assistant Agent, an autonomous AI research companion that orchestrates these capabilities through natural language. Solution packages target Zero Footprint Investigations and Cross-Domain Analytics for defense and intelligence, GWAS and Oncology Research for healthcare, and Fraud Prevention, AML, and Personalized Risk Scoring for financial services. The platform is designed to support HIPAA, GDPR, CBPR, PDPA, and ISO 27001 requirements out of the box and holds a USA PATRIOT Act 314(b) Association designation.

Duality operates an enterprise B2B sales motion targeting regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government/defense as primary; marketing, insurance, manufacturing as secondary) with annual subscription licensing, professional services, and distribution through cloud marketplaces (Oracle, Azure, AWS), the Carahsoft federal reseller, and systems integrators (Deloitte, LSEG). Named enterprise customers include Mastercard, Scotiabank, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, and Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. The company has raised approximately $50 million across three disclosed rounds, most recently a $30 million Series B led by LG Technology Ventures in October 2021.

Core offering

Duality Technologies sells a privacy-preserving data collaboration platform that enables organizations to analyze sensitive, distributed, or inaccessible data without moving or exposing it. The platform combines Fully Homomorphic Encryption, Federated Learning, Trusted Execution Environments, and Secure Multi-Party Computation to deliver encrypted query, collaborative AI, and federated analytics capabilities. It is sold primarily as enterprise software subscriptions to regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, and government/defense.

Product overview

Duality Technologies offers a modular secure data collaboration platform for regulated industries. The core platform is powered by multiple privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs): Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Federated Learning, and Confidential Computing (TEE). The platform includes three main product capabilities: Duality Query Engine for encrypted queries on distributed data, Secure Collaborative AI for privacy-protected model training and deployment, and Secure Federated Analytics for cross-institutional computation. Duality Assistant Agent provides an AI-powered research interface that orchestrates these capabilities through a natural language interface and MCP Server. Additional offerings include Agentic OpenFHE for AI-assisted FHE development and LLM Inference for secure AI on sensitive data. The platform serves government, defense, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing sectors with solutions including Zero Footprint Investigations, Cross Department Analytics, Defense AI, GWAS, Oncology Research, Real World Evidence, Fraud Prevention, and Risk Scoring. The company open-sourced OpenFHE, the production-ready post-quantum FHE library used as the foundation for its privacy technologies.

Direct peers

• Enveil: Enveil offers a FHE-based secure search and analytics platform that lets organizations extract insights from data without exposing the underlying information. It is the closest direct competitor to Duality's secure query and federated analytics capabilities, serving financial services and government customers with similar zero-footprint architecture.
• TripleBlind: TripleBlind provides a privacy-preserving data collaboration platform leveraging federated learning and cryptography to enable secure data and AI collaborations across enterprises and healthcare networks. It competes directly with Duality's federated learning and secure collaboration offerings in healthcare and financial services.
• Inpher: Inpher (now operating as Niobium) builds privacy-preserving ML and analytics products using secure multi-party computation and FHE. It targets regulated industries with similar collaborative AI use cases, making it a directly comparable peer to Duality's platform.

Emerging players

• Zama: Zama develops open-source FHE tooling (Concrete, TFHE-rs) for machine learning and blockchain applications. It is an emerging player in the same privacy-preserving ML category as Duality's OpenFHE library and Agentic OpenFHE environment, focused on developer tooling and FHE compilers.
• Oblivious: Oblivious offers a privacy-preserving AI and data collaboration platform built on confidential computing and federated learning. It targets similar banking and regulated-industry use cases (fraud, AML, risk) with overlapping secure analytics technology, making it an emerging competitor to Duality.

Broad incumbents

• Databricks Clean Rooms: Databricks Clean Rooms provides privacy-safe data collaboration on the Databricks Lakehouse Platform using Delta Sharing and serverless compute. While not PET-native like Duality, it is a broad incumbent that addresses overlapping cross-organizational analytics use cases for enterprise data teams.
• Snowflake Data Clean Rooms: Snowflake Data Clean Rooms and Snowpark provide secure data sharing and collaboration across organizations. As a major cloud data platform incumbent, Snowflake competes for the same cross-organizational analytics budget as Duality, though with a different trust and privacy architecture.
• AWS Clean Rooms / Confidential Computing: AWS Clean Rooms and AWS Nitro Enclaves provide privacy-preserving analytics and confidential computing primitives as part of the AWS ecosystem. As a hyperscaler incumbent with bundled pricing, AWS represents a broad competitive threat to Duality's privacy-preserving collaboration layer.
• Microsoft Azure Confidential Computing: Microsoft Azure Confidential Computing (with Azure Confidential VMs, Intel SGX, AMD SEV-SNP) and Azure Data Sharing provide native privacy-preserving capabilities. Despite partnering with Duality on Azure Marketplace, Microsoft remains a broad incumbent that could expand its own confidential AI tooling.
• IBM Security / Privacy Suite: IBM's research and product portfolio in homomorphic encryption (HElib, FHE tooling) and Guardium data security overlaps with Duality's PET-based offering. IBM is a listed partner of Duality but also a broad incumbent that could expand native privacy-preserving analytics capabilities.
