New York – October 14, 2026 -- Cyphlens has made in-document encryption generally available, letting AI tools read a contract while the confidential terms inside it stay unreadable. The company was also named a 2026 Gartner Cool Vendor in the "Coolest Vendor Innovations in Data Security" report.
Cyphlens replaces selected document regions with ciphertext in place
In one example, AI reviewing a customer agreement can find the renewal deadline but sees a cipher where the negotiated price would be. Only an authorized person can reveal the protected information.
The file remains an ordinary Word or PDF, with no encrypted container. Each protected region carries its own recipients, so one document can disclose different content to different readers. The capability is applied through a Cyphlens skill for Claude.
