Recognized in the Ransomware and Recovery Awards Category, Cy4Secure Chosen for its Ability to Protect In-use Data, Fully Eliminating the Incentive to Conduct these Cyberattacks
Cy4Data Labs, the first cybersecurity company to provide in-use data protection and the industry’s only quantum-proof encryption, today announced that Datos Insights awarded the company’s flagship solution CyberSecure a Silver Medal in the Datos Insights 2025 Cybersecurity Impact Awards in the category of Ransomware and Recovery Solution. Recent ransomware attacks have crippled air travel across Europe, exposed personal health information in Arizona, and even stopped beer production in Japan. The recognition from Datos Insights comes at a critical time for digital infrastructure, and Cy4Data’s capacity to protect in-use data from ransomware attacks delivers unparalleled data protection for governments, industry and academia.
“Cy4Data Labs’ revolutionary encryption solution Cy4Secure addresses the fundamental vulnerability that enables ransomware attacks by ensuring data always remains encrypted—even during active use—rendering stolen or compromised data worthless to attackers,” said Jane Ginn, Cybersecurity Fellow, Datos Insights. “By rethinking cybersecurity at the data level, the team at Cy4Data enables the management of millions of encryption keys at once, securing individual fields or even single words, without disrupting business operations. This granular approach enables organizations to maintain comprehensive protection while preserving full functionality of their data systems.”
The winners of Datos Insights’ Impact Awards in Cybersecurity are leading the industry and pioneering new and disruptive security solutions for financial institutions, insurers, and other financial services firms. Cyber risk in the market has entered a new age. CISOs need new kinds of cyber defenses and governance solutions that leverage the power of data, AI, and modern technology.
“Ransomware attacks clearly aren’t going away, but with Cy4Secure, we’ve introduced a solution that fully devalues data lost to these attacks, eliminating the incentive to carry them out in the first place,” said Lance Smith, CEO & Cofounder, Cy4Data Labs. “We’re excited to receive this award from Datos Insights recognizing Cy4Secure’s ability to protect against ransomware attacks, closing the gap in the security ecosystem to protect in-use data, all while streamlining governance and making trust the default for digital infrastructure.”
