Problem
AI copilots and integrated chatbots automatically ingest all files and messages that employees can access, exposing sensitive documents, credentials, and confidential communications to unauthorized software agents. This lack of content-specific access control leaves organizations vulnerable to data leaks, phishing, and AI-driven breaches.
Solution
Cyphlens secures data at the point of view by binding decryption to a physical, registered device using its patented Lenscryption engine. The decryption key resides in the device’s secure enclave and never leaves, ensuring that only verified humans on trusted hardware can open files (CypherFile) or read messages (CypherMessage). Access is logged with device ID, user identity, and timestamp, providing a full audit trail and enabling instant revocation of permissions after distribution. The solution works as a drop‑in replacement over existing collaboration channels such as Slack, Teams, email, and file shares, requiring no changes to existing workflows. By extending zero‑trust principles to content itself, Cyphlens prevents software agents from extracting or forwarding protected information, even in AI‑augmented environments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise security and IT teams in regulated industries—such as defense, finance, healthcare, and large corporations—that need to protect sensitive files and communications from AI‑driven threats while maintaining existing collaboration workflows.
