Advanced Encryption: Keep Your Data Secure—Even While Using It
Traditional encryption protects data at rest and in transit, but leaves a critical gap: the moment data is queried, searched, or processed, it’s exposed. For organizations in regulated industries, this exposure window creates compliance risk, breach liability, and operational vulnerability.
SAFE closes that gap. Using Searchable Symmetric Encryption, SAFE keeps data fully encrypted during database queries and application operations—not just storage. When ransomware operators exfiltrate your data, they get fragments of encrypted gibberish. When attackers penetrate your perimeter, they find nothing actionable to steal.
What Makes SAFE Different
Traditional encryption solutions were falling short even before the advent of the AI era.
SAFE is the premiere solution for today's data security challenges, and those that are still on the horizon.
Seamless deployment
API-based integration with no database migration, network redesign, or end-user training required
Reduce plaintext exposure
During search, access, and operational workflows
Built for AI & RAG
Secure retrieval without turning sensitive records into routine plaintext
Post-quantum readiness
To reduce “steal-now-decrypt-later” risk for long-lived data
Address AI Security Challenges

| Post-Quantum Ready |
SAFE's patented shredding technology in combination with AES 256 means that even if encryption is compromised with quantum computing power, the result is shredded pieces of data with no context. Therefore, even quantum can't break SAFE. As quantum cryptography is adopted, SAFE is designed to leverage the new cryptographic keys, further securing critical data-in-use from quantum compromise.
