NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cyphlens is defining the next generation of enterprise security with visual encryption, a groundbreaking layer of protection that lives everywhere the eye meets the screen. Today, the company announced the close of its oversubscribed $3.8 million seed round and the expansion of its world-class advisory board. The round includes participation from Salesforce Ventures, Motivate Ventures, DCG, ex/ante, and Cambrian Ventures — underscoring strong investor conviction in this new category of data protection.
Cyphlens’ proprietary visual encryption technology adds a new level of security to businesses by securing data at the moment it’s viewed, which is the last mile where regular encryption stops. Cyph-lens, the company’s main product, turns sensitive data into encrypted visual ciphers that can only be read through a secure decoding lens. This keeps the data safe even while it’s presented on a screen. This system solves the problem of AI-driven phishing, identity theft, screen-scraping malware, and insider threats that are growing quickly in complicated digital supply chains.
In a cybersecurity environment where tiny changes are common, Cyphlens distinguishes out because it protects what others don’t: the moment data is seen. Its visual encryption technique fills in a huge gap that regular encryption and access control systems leave behind. It protects everything from start to finish in the AI age.
“Cyphlens is filling a gap in the cybersecurity market by exposing data at the point of view,” said Rob Keith, a partner at Salesforce Ventures. “Their visual encryption architecture brings true zero-trust security to the last mile, where data is most at risk. It comes at just the right time as businesses deal with threats that are getting worse because of AI.”
“Our goal is to make the strongest security invisible so that people naturally use it,” stated Rocky Motwani, CEO of Cyphlens. “Cyphlens lets you add visual encryption to your current systems in just a few minutes, giving every user and every endpoint zero-trust protection.”
Industry Leaders Join Cyphlens Advisory Board
Cyphlens has appointed several leading figures from cybersecurity, intelligence, and fintech to its advisory board:
- Chris Moretti, VP of Global Technology & AI Infrastructure Enablement at Cigna – bringing an enterprise-scale perspective on secure data access and digital transformation.
- Chris Novak, Founder of the Verizon Threat Research Advisory Center, a globally recognized authority on cyber risk and threat intelligence.
- William MacMillan, a former Chief Information Security Officer at the CIA, offers decades of experience in national security and intelligence operations.
- Richard Grogan-Crane, CEO of XTRM, contributes deep expertise in financial services and payments security.
These advisors make Cyphlens a stronger leader in next-generation identity access management and visual encryption.
Chris Novak said, “Cyphlens is building for the future of enterprise security, where AI, scale, and usability must all work together.” “Their architecture looks ahead to threats of the future while making it easier for businesses to protect what matters most.”
Cyphlens will utilize the extra money to speed up the development of its visual-encryption platform, make corporate connectors stronger, and grow its technical and customer-success teams. The company is also growing go-to-market operations to satisfy rising demand from financial services, government, and healthcare companies wanting enhanced security against AI-driven data exposure.
