Active Cypher

Active Cypher is a data protection company that specializes in securing data at the asset level across its lifecycle, with a focus on businesses operating on Microsoft technology. The company provides file-level encryption, access control, and threat monitoring and remediation solutions designed to protect sensitive data from ransomware, data breaches, and accidental disclosure. Unlike traditional security approaches that protect data at the server, drive, or collaboration platform level, Active Cypher's encryption operates at the individual file level, enabling data to be self-protected regardless of where it resides or travels. This approach is intended to render data worthless to ransomware attackers and reduce the impact of potential breaches. The company's solutions integrate with existing Microsoft infrastructure, including Azure Active Directory environments, and are available on Azure AppSource and the Azure Marketplace. Active Cypher holds Microsoft Silver Partner status and is a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA). No third-party data custody is required, as data remains within the client's own Microsoft environment. Active Cypher targets organizations seeking practical data protection without high implementation costs, lengthy deployment cycles, or complex data classification workflows. The company claims planning and deployment can be completed within a few days. Policies are configured at the organizational level and enforced without significantly impacting end-user workflows. The solution is positioned as an alternative to assembling multiple point solutions to achieve comparable data protection coverage.
