CipherCloud raised $1.4 million in seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz later that year.〔 CipherCloud released its Gmail encryption solution in June 2012. By September 2012 CipherCloud's platform could also encrypt Force.com, Chatter, Microsoft Office 365.〔(Rutrell Yasin, "CipherCloud Encrypts Data Across Multiple Cloud Apps," GCN.com, September 6, 2012 )〕 It also launched Connect AnyApp, which allowed users to "simply specify fields on Web pages to be encrypted," and data format and operations would be preserved.〔 CipherCloud closed a $30 million funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz and Index Ventures in December 2012. Deutsche Telekom also participated in the funding round through T-Ventures, the telecommunications company's venture capital arm. John M. Jack, a partner at Andreessen Horowitz and former CEO of Fortify Software, joined the CipherCloud board following the investment.〔〔 The company opened its European headquarters in London, England in the same month.〔 CipherCloud added an Australian headquarters in 2013.〔(Rohan Pearce, "Business Booms for Cloud Encryption Provider After PRISM Revelations," ''TechWorld,'' August 22, 2013 )〕 CipherCloud Searchable Strong Encryption (SSE) achieved the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation from the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), a joint effort between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) of the government of Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Validated FIPS 140-1 and FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Modules )〕 In February 2013, CipherCloud joined Box Inc.
