TRUST IS ALL YOU NEED

The future of computing is encrypted

Belfort processes sensitive data without ever decrypting it. At speed. At scale. Without compromise.

ABOUT

Belfort makes encrypted compute real by accelerating it to practical performance

Performance without compromise

What once took hours now takes minutes. Belfort brings encrypted compute within reach.

Seamless adoption

Purpose-built hardware integrates effortlessly, unlocking instant gains in speed and scalability.

Security as a foundation

Data remains protected throughout every operation; confidentiality is inherent, not optional.

use cases

Encrypted compute across high-stakes domains

From defense to genomics, Belfort makes encrypted data usable at scale — without ever compromising privacy or trust.

National security & Government

Exposed intelligence or citizen data undermines trust and safety. Belfort ensures confidentiality and integrity across missions and state systems.

Finance

Institutions can detect fraud, assess credit, manage risk, and ensure compliance in real time while client data stays encrypted.

Healthcare

Keeping patient and genomic data encrypted allows hospitals, pharma, and researchers to collaborate, run diagnostics, and analyze outcomes without exposing sensitive information.

Crypto & Blockchain

With Belfort’s acceleration, fully confidential smart contracts, payments, and DeFi protocols finally become practical at scale, unlocking the next wave of crypto adoption.
