Our Keyavi team set out in 2020 to shatter the cybersecurity industry’s preconceived notions of what data security should be. Instead of trying to keep data contained, we made data its own fortress: self-protecting, intelligent and self-aware.
“Our goal was to identify emerging technology’s potential to make an impact on the world, with plenty of room for even greater inroads in the years to come,” wrote Harry McCracken, Fast Company’s technology editor, in his congratulatory letter.
“What an incredible honor,” said Elliot Lewis, co-founder and CEO of Keyavi. “Years ago, I foresaw the devastating effect that unprotected ‘data in the wild’ resulting from an accidental leak or breach would have on people and organizations everywhere. When we launched our company last year, my team and I set out to shatter the cybersecurity industry’s preconceived notions of what data security should be.

“Our technology infuses data with so much intelligence that it automatically knows where it is and can keep itself protected if it’s in an unauthorized place, secure itself from unauthorized users, stay continually aware of its surroundings and report its whereabouts to its owner – everywhere and anywhere it goes in the world. Now cybercriminals — including ransomware attackers – not only can’t access it, but they can’t control it, no matter where they attempt to take the data if it’s wrapped in our patented technology. As a result, we’re helping customers focus on their business instead of defending it and making our world a safer place for everyone.”
