description: CipherCloud was a cloud security company, founded in 2010, that pioneered the cloud access
  security broker (CASB) category. Its platform provided encryption and tokenization, data loss prevention,
  cloud discovery and shadow IT visibility, threat protection, and compliance controls for SaaS applications
  such as Salesforce, Office 365, ServiceNow, and Box. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Index
  Ventures among others, CipherCloud was acquired by mobile and cloud security vendor Lookout in early 2021,
  and its CASB technology was folded into Lookout's Secure Cloud Access offering. The standalone ciphercloud.com
  developer and product surface has since been retired; this profile is retained in the API Evangelist network
  as a historical company record. No live public API, developer portal, OpenAPI, or documentation surface
  could be located during enrichment (ciphercloud.com returns HTTP 404 and no developer/docs subdomains resolve).
