Problem
Organizations face increasing threats from hacking, ransomware, and internal errors, making it difficult to protect sensitive data across its lifecycle. Traditional security measures like firewalls and VPNs are often insufficient, leaving data vulnerable both at rest and in transit across complex hybrid environments. Maintaining control and visibility over data shared internally and externally is a significant challenge.
Solution
Active Cypher provides a suite of data-centric security solutions that automate end-to-end data protection, ensuring sensitive information is safeguarded within the organization's own environment. The platform offers asset-level encryption, access controls, and usage restrictions to protect data against unauthorized access, misuse, and breaches. Active Cypher's products, including Cypher Cloud, Cypher Protect, and Cypher Scout, work across cloud environments, on-premise servers, and file-sharing applications to provide comprehensive data security. By encrypting each file individually, Active Cypher ensures that data remains protected even if it falls into the wrong hands, enabling organizations to maintain control and comply with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA.
Target Audience
Active Cypher targets organizations of all sizes across various industries, including legal, financial, healthcare, and managed service providers (MSSPs), that need to protect sensitive data and maintain regulatory compliance.
