CY4 Data Labs

CY4 Data Labs is a Silicon Valley-based cybersecurity company developing post-quantum data protection technology under the brand Cy4Secure. Founded by a team of serial entrepreneurs with backgrounds at Fusion-io, SanDisk, and SonicWall, the company's core innovation is atomic-level encryption using unique one-time-use keys that protect data itself rather than the perimeter systems that contain it. Cy4Secure is designed as a Commercial Data Security (DATASEC) solution initially targeting U.S. government and national security use cases, with expansion into enterprise, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. The founding team includes CTO Todd Carper (encryption architect and former CrypTEC Systems founder), CEO Lance Smith (former Fusion-io President and COO), and CMO Rick White (co-founder of Fusion-io and builder of Phobos, acquired by SonicWall for $319M). The company's encryption protocols have been validated by NIST post-quantum cryptography advisors and are already deployed at major insurance companies, law firms, and professional sports organizations.
