CyberRidge Named a Gartner Cool Vendor in Data Security for 2025: Securing Your Data in the Age of GenAI and Quantum Computing
We're proud to announce that CyberRidge has been named a Cool Vendor in the Gartner® Cool Vendors in Data Security, 2025 report.
Gartner’s Cool Vendors are widely regarded as game-changing technology startups, selected for their innovation and potential to revolutionize markets
We believe that our inclusion underscores the growing demand for solutions that can secure data not just from today's threats – but from the post-quantum reality we are fast approaching.
“As both state actors and the new quantum era become more evident, IT and cybersecurity leaders working with CISOs on future-proof confidentiality in network architectures should evaluate CyberRidge.”
— Gartner, Cool Vendors in Data Security, 2025
Why does this matter?
As quantum computing advances, traditional encryption faces growing risks. CyberRidge tackles this differently: Elaminating raw data from the optical stream itself. By converting data into noise at Layer 1 of the OSI model, there’s nothing to harvest for future decryption. Our optical manipulation ensures the signal is indistinguishable from noise – recoverable only through full optical decryption and reconstruction at real time before optical-to-electrical conversion.
CyberRidge stands out for:
⦁ Securing data in transit at the physical layer (Layer 1)
⦁ Zero latency, high-capacity encryption with no visible metadata
⦁ Very low power consumption associated with the optical encryption
⦁ Deployment on existing fiber infrastructure
⦁ Being post-quantum ready – today
So, who should care?
“Organizations with the highest data protection requirements, including government agencies, defense contractors, CSPs, financial institutions, and healthcare providers will benefit most from the advanced safeguards offered by CyberRidge.”
— Gartner, Cool Vendors in Data Security, 2025
If your organization operates in a highly regulated environment – or manages sensitive data with long-term confidentiality requirements – now is the time to rethink how you protect data in transit.
We're proud to be part of this year's Cool Vendor cohort.
