Embeddings Aren't One-Way: A Real Vector Database Inversion Attack

A common assumption is that embeddings are safe, abstract, and one-way. They're not. Jim Armbruster runs a live attack on a production-style RAG pipeline — reconstructing social security numbers, passwords, and medical diagnoses from embeddings stored in plaintext with near-exact accuracy.

Inside CyborgDB: How End-to-End Encrypted Vector Search Works

Most vector databases encrypt at rest and in transit, then decrypt to plaintext during search — exactly when the data is most exposed. CyborgDB assumes the server may be compromised. This deep-dive walks through how it maintains end-to-end encryption across the entire vector lifecycle, including during search.

How CyborgDB Secures the AI Knowledge Layer

Modern AI runs on retrieval, so organizations centralize their most sensitive data into vector databases — making them the AI knowledge layer and a whole new class of risk. Kevin Kopczynski walks through how CyborgDB solves this architecturally, encrypting embeddings into cryptographic tokens that stay searchable while your data stays fully encrypted.

Your AI Knowledge Base Is a Security Risk — Introducing CyborgDB

AI is forcing enterprises to centralize their most sensitive data into knowledge bases built for retrieval performance, not confidentiality — creating a single, high-value target. CyborgDB is the security layer for that knowledge base: an end-to-end encrypted vector database that keeps data encrypted at rest, in transit, and in use.
