About DropVault
DropVault was created by Irish brothers Neal and Kevin O’Farrell who between them have more than 70 years experience in some of the most challenging technology environments.
Kevin began his career with Irish tech startup Mentec, a significant Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) reseller and OEM in Ireland, and he later joined Sun Microsystems in San Joe California where he was responsible for Java licensing in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Neal fell into cybersecurity and encryption by accident in the early 1980s and quickly realized that both would play a key role in the future of almost every technology and business.
Users of the platform include a major airline, a top10 US bank, and smaller CPA and wealth management firms who use DropVault to help insulate their clients and communications from email threats.
The company has offices in Cincinnati, Ohio and Dublin, Ireland.

Quotes and Comments
Like most Irish, Neal O’Farrell was blessed with the gift of the gab, and a very creative and direct way of sharing his strong feelings about the world of cybercrime and fraud.
But unlike most Irish, or even other security professionals, Neal brings more than 40 years of global perspective and experience to this increasingly complicated subject.
