About CipherGateway

CipherGateway, or Beijing Lianshi Network Technology Co., Ltd., is a data security technology company established in 2015. The company was founded by Bai Xiaoyong, who serves as the CEO. Before founding CipherGateway, Bai Xiaoyong was the R&D platform director at UFIDA, a major enterprise management software provider, where he managed ERP and development platform teams, gaining deep insight into enterprise application architecture and business processes.

The company specializes in providing data security products and solutions that are embedded directly into business processes without requiring source code modification. Its core product is the CipherGateway cloud security gateway, which utilizes a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) architecture to deliver fine-grained data encryption and protection. This technology allows for the encryption of specific sensitive data fields within databases, protecting against unauthorized access from both internal and external threats. The platform integrates data encryption with access control and auditing, ensuring that data access is minimized based on user roles and providing traceable, tamper-proof logs.

CipherGateway's solutions are designed to address regulatory compliance requirements, such as China's Cryptography Law and Personal Information Protection Law, by implementing high-performance national cryptographic algorithms (like SM2, SM3, SM4) alongside international standards. The firm serves a wide range of industries including government, finance, transportation, manufacturing, and telecommunications. Its business model focuses on providing these specialized security solutions to protect personal information and business secrets. The company has received multiple rounds of funding from investors such as Antiy Labs, CASH Capital, Tencent Investment, and Everest VC.
