Prosegur partners with Internxt to secure digital surveillance data with sovereign cloud

Prosegur, the Spanish security giant that just marked its fiftieth anniversary, has made a decisive move into the digital realm. The company has struck a partnership with Internxt, a Valencia-based cloud storage firm, to house and protect the surveillance recordings and sensitive data its clients generate every day. The deal represents more than a simple vendor relationship—Prosegur has already taken an ownership stake in Internxt and claimed a seat on its board, signaling that the company intends to be a serious player in the world of secure digital infrastructure, not merely a buyer of services.

The timing reflects a genuine shift in how major corporations think about their data. Cyberattacks and breaches have become routine enough that companies can no longer treat them as edge cases. Prosegur's move suggests the company sees digital security as inseparable from the physical security work that built its reputation. By integrating Internxt's infrastructure, Prosegur is essentially telling its clients that the footage captured by its cameras, the access logs, the sensitive records—all of it will remain locked away from unauthorized eyes and from hackers.

Internxt itself is a relatively young operation, founded and led by Fran Villalba Segarra. The company has assembled a notable roster of backers. Juan Roig, the president of Mercadona, has invested through his vehicle Angels Capital. Telefónica, Spain's telecommunications giant, participated in a funding round in 2024. The Spanish government's CDTI has committed 1.4 million euros to the project. In July of the previous year, Internxt closed a 3.3 million euro funding round that brought Prosegur Tech Ventures and Andorra Telecom into the fold. Other investors have included Extension Fund, Kevlar Fund, Banco Santander, and Notion Capital.

What distinguishes Internxt in a crowded market is its technical architecture. The company offers cloud object storage that is encrypted, sovereign—meaning the data stays within European jurisdiction—and substantially cheaper than what the American hyperscalers provide. More notably, Internxt has developed encryption resistant to quantum computers, a form of post-quantum cryptography that protects against a threat that may not materialize for years but that security-conscious organizations are beginning to take seriously now. The encryption is designed so thoroughly that even Internxt itself cannot access the data stored on its servers. The company holds the keys to nothing.

For Prosegur, the appeal is clear. The company operates surveillance systems across thousands of locations. Those systems generate enormous volumes of video and metadata. Storing that material securely, keeping it away from competitors and criminals, and ensuring it remains available to authorized users is a complex problem. By adopting Internxt's infrastructure, Prosegur gains a technical solution that aligns with its brand promise: protection. The partnership also positions Prosegur as something it has never quite been before—a guardian of digital space, not just physical space.

Internxt, for its part, is pursuing a deliberate strategy to become the European standard for data sovereignty and security. The company is signing agreements with large private corporations and public sector entities, building a portfolio of clients who need their information safeguarded online. Prosegur is a significant win—a household name in security, a company with deep client relationships and decades of operational credibility. The partnership lends Internxt legitimacy and reach.

The deal also reflects a broader European conversation about data independence. For years, companies across the continent have stored their most sensitive information with American cloud providers—Amazon, Microsoft, Google. That arrangement has always carried a certain unease, rooted in concerns about jurisdiction, surveillance, and control. Prosegur's choice to partner with a Spanish firm, to keep data within European borders, to use encryption that even the provider cannot break—these decisions signal a shift in how European companies think about where their information lives and who has access to it. The partnership is not just a business transaction. It is a statement about sovereignty.
